Peer-Led Recovery Rooted in Community
Charlestown Recovery Home provides a four- to six-month residential program for adult men seeking a supportive path toward lasting recovery. Operated by the non-profit Gavin Foundation, the program builds on the 12-step approach and peer accountability to help men regain confidence and structure. Residents develop a sense of belonging through shared living, routines, and mutual encouragement.
A Structured Program That Builds Stability
Daily life includes counseling, group sessions, and substance use education, complemented by relapse-prevention work and anger management. The program accommodates men using medications for addiction treatment (MAT) prescribed elsewhere, ensuring individualized and consistent care.
Developing Skills and Purpose Beyond Treatment
Residents receive life-skills and employment training to prepare for independence after discharge. Participation in community service strengthens accountability and connection to others. Support continues through discharge planning, aftercare, outcome follow-up, naloxone education, and recovery coaching, helping men transition smoothly into stable living, housing, and employment.
A Home-Like Setting in the Heart of Charlestown
Set within a residential neighborhood of Boston, the home offers a comfortable, communal atmosphere with lounges, a recreation room, a kitchenette, and outdoor space for connection and reflection. On-site laundry, air-conditioned rooms, and computer workstations add practical comfort. Smoking and vaping are allowed in designated areas. The urban location keeps residents close to community resources and opportunities to practice recovery in real-world settings.

Quality and Trust
Trust Score
A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.
Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
