Gandara Center

About Gandara Center

Gandara Center is a sober living operator running residential recovery programs across Massachusetts, including a men's program in Northampton, Hampshire County.

A Statewide Recovery Housing Provider

Gandara Center operates more than one residential recovery program in the state, giving it a broader base of experience housing people in recovery than a single-address operator working in one city alone.

The Social Model of Care

Across its residences, Gandara Center builds programs around the social model of care, which emphasizes peer support and community involvement, incorporating Twelve Step involvement and self-help meetings as core parts of recovery.

Priority Admission for Underserved Populations

Gandara Center's programs give priority admission to LGBTQ+ community members, people involved with the criminal justice system, individuals with disabilities, and people living with HIV or AIDS, a population focus that runs across its residences.

Serving Western Massachusetts

With a residential program based in Northampton, Gandara Center works in one of Hampshire County's few urban centers, positioning itself to serve men from across the western part of the state.

Reaching Gandara Center

Applications go directly to the organization. Worth asking about current availability, how the social model of care is structured day to day, and whether priority admission applies to a specific applicant's circumstances.
