Savio is Here to Help
Substance misuse affects the entire family. Yet many traditional programs separate children and parents to treat them separately. Even though nearly two-thirds of adults in treatment programs are parents, there are no programs that allow all members of the family to heal together.
Addiction treatment is one part of the larger picture of family mental wellness and healthy parenting. When treating substance use is the only priority, we fail to face the underlying factors that lead to a parent's addiction and the child’s trauma.
When we help a whole family - two generations - heal from the impacts of addiction, we break the cycle and forever impact a child’s future.
A Holistic Approach to Healing as a Family
Savio has 55 years of expertise in treating the whole family, We are uniquely positioned to have a holistic and two-generation impact, which will shape lives long into the future.
Our approach extends far beyond simply treating the substance misuse of a caregiver by truly looking at the entire family and addressing the needs of everyone involved.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can double to quadruple the likelihood that a child uses drugs or alcohol at an early age.
Treating addiction. Repairing family bonds. Two generations of impact.
Savio will create the first treatment program in the nation to allow adult treatment clients, their partner, and their children to receive holistic, full-family care in an innovative, multi-discipline residential setting.
Our six pilot residential units will allow each family to reside together while receiving services and maintaining essential, familiar, and grounding elements of routine.
In addition to providing safe and stable housing, families will receive a full array of services in a holistic, family-based setting.

Reimagining Addiction Treatment
We believe this is a long-overdue shift in the treatment paradigm and one that will have long-lasting impacts on parents, partners, and children.
This innovative program — the first of its kind nationwide — promises to offer insight, proof of concept, and the building blocks for this approach to become the future of family-centric treatment.
While our pilot program will focus on the development of a six-family residential property, our learnings will pay dividends to our future plans to build similar programs across the state.
Services Include:
Housing support, Parent coaching and training, Employment assistance, Services include, Substance misuse treatment Mental health support, Transitional services
“Our goal has always been to stay together as a family, and Savio has supported our family staying together.”

Campaign Goal: $7,250,000
Amount Raised: $3,650,000
Program Launch Date: Late 2024
