Caspar Inc, also known as Cambridge and Somerville Programs for Addiction Recovery, is a community-based nonprofit organization that provides substance use disorder services in the Greater Boston area. The organization operates as part of Bay Cove Human Services, a Massachusetts nonprofit that delivers behavioral health and community support programs. CASPAR began in 1970 in response to the growing need for treatment and support for people experiencing substance use disorders.
The organization operates programs that address substance use and related behavioral health needs for adults. Services include residential recovery programs that provide structured living environments for individuals who have completed detox or are stabilized and seeking support during early recovery. These programs typically run for several months and focus on building recovery skills and daily stability.
CASPAR also operates services connected to housing and community support. These include emergency shelter services and outreach programs that assist adults experiencing homelessness and behavioral health challenges. Outreach teams provide basic supplies, case management support, and connections to medical or social services in the community.
Programs are offered in Cambridge and Somerville and serve adults seeking support related to substance use recovery and housing stability. Services may include structured residential programs, outreach efforts, and access to community resources through coordinated support services.
