The Gavin Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides substance use disorder education, prevention, and treatment programs in Massachusetts. Founded in 1963, the organization operates multiple services for individuals and families affected by alcohol and drug use. Programs are based primarily in the Boston area and include residential recovery homes, outpatient counseling, and community-based recovery support.
Residential programs include recovery housing for adult men and women, such as Gavin House, Hamilton House, Charlestown Recovery House, and Eileen’s House.

The organization also operates graduate recovery housing that offers continued support after completion of residential treatment.
