Questions people ask about Gavin Foundation
What levels of care does Gavin Foundation offer?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Boston, 2 offer a bed.
Does Gavin Foundation offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Roxbury, about a mile away.
Is Gavin Foundation an option for someone over 65?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Boston.
Are there alternatives to Gavin Foundation?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Boston.
Which medications does Gavin Foundation prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Boston.
What is there in Boston that costs nothing?
Alongside this, Boston has 15 NA meetings and 116 free AA meetings.
Do they treat anxiety alongside addiction?
Dual diagnosis means both are present, and treating them together is the current standard of care. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Bring the existing diagnosis and the name of whoever currently treats it.
What are the usual program lengths?
Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. If you can only be away for a fixed period, say so at the start rather than partway through.
