Mission Statement
Gaudenzia helps people affected by chemical dependency, mental illness and related conditions to achieve a better quality of life-allowing them to live as productive and accountable individuals. This is accomplished through comprehensive treatment and prevention methods guided by a philosophy of mutual concern and responsibility. Gaudenzia also conducts research and educates the community on the causes,
treatment and prevention of addictions, mental illness and related conditions.

Vision Statement
Gaudenzia aspires to be the best program for the continued recovery of those
affected by alcohol and other drug addiction, as well as mental illness, by providing
the highest quality and most cost-effective treatment services available. Gaudenzia develops and implements specialized treatment to meet the needs of various client profiles and provides these services in such a manner that social, economic or demographic factors do not limit an individual’s access to appropriate services.

We will acheive this by managing for the long term and by investing in our staff, volunteers and programs, not based only on immediate results, but also considering the evolving needs, in consistent accordance with our mission. We will constantly evaluate and improve the design of our services to uphold our stated values and beliefs in the attainment of our goals.

Philosophy
We are here because there is no refuge, finally, from ourselves.
Until people confront themselves in the eyes and hearts of others, they are running.
Until they suffer others to share their secrets, they have no safety from them.
Afraid to be known, they can know neither themselves nor any other; they will be alone.

Where else but in our common ground can we find such a mirror?
Here, together, people can at last appear clearly to themselves-not as the giant of their dreams, nor the dwarfs of their fears – but as individuals, part of a whole, with a share in its purpose.

In this ground we can each take root and grow, not alone anymore as in death, but alive to ourselves and to others.
