GAAMHA

About GAAMHA

GAAMHA, Inc. is a human-services nonprofit based in Gardner, Massachusetts, providing substance use disorder services, supportive housing and community programs in Worcester County. The organization has operated in the Gardner area since 1967.

A Gardner-Based Human Services Nonprofit

GAAMHA runs well beyond a single housing program. Alongside its substance use disorder and supportive housing services, the organization provides enrichment and transportation programs for the communities it serves, a scope that sets it apart from a stand-alone sober living operator.

Case-Managed Supportive Housing

GAAMHA provides residents with full case management services to sustain their recovery, a model it distinguishes from traditional sober living, which typically runs without staff-level oversight. The organization operates transitional homes in Gardner, additional homes in Greenfield and Athol, and a permanent supportive housing apartment complex in downtown Gardner.

Serving Men and Women After Residential Treatment

GAAMHA's transitional and supportive housing programs serve men and women who have completed residential treatment and are working toward independent living, with staff providing oversight and accountability the organization says goes beyond what traditional sober living offers.

Serving Worcester County and Beyond

Gardner anchors GAAMHA's presence in Worcester County, with the organization's reach extending into Greenfield and Athol as well. That regional footprint reflects an organization built to serve North Central Massachusetts broadly, not one city alone.

Reaching GAAMHA

Admission to GAAMHA's residential and housing programs typically comes through referral from a primary treatment source, including detox facilities, transitional care programs, clinical stabilization programs, shelters, hospitals and the criminal justice system.
