How Donations Work

At Addiction Gap, we’re working to bridge a critical divide—helping people who are desperate for treatment but can’t afford it. Your donation directly helps close that gap.

Whether someone is uninsured, underinsured, or simply can’t cover the full cost of care, your support helps us step in and make sure no one is turned away without trying everything possible.

Where Your Money Goes

We are proud to commit 95% of all donations directly toward helping individuals access treatment. That includes:

  • Treatment services – covering or offsetting costs for detox, residential, or outpatient care
  • Support services – transportation, counseling, recovery materials, or aftercare assistance
  • Interventions – stepping in quickly when time or finances would otherwise be a barrier

Only 5% of funds are used for administrative operations—ensuring your contribution stays focused on the mission.

Addiction Gap is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

How We Assist

Your donation doesn’t sit idle. Thanks to our partnerships with trusted treatment centers, we’re able to act quickly when someone in need can’t access care.

Here’s how it works:

  • Referral from Treatment Centers: When a facility can’t admit someone—often due to financial reasons—they refer that person to us.
  • Immediate Action: We assess the situation and connect the individual with an appropriate provider or recovery resource.
  • Creative Solutions: Sometimes that means funding part of their treatment. Sometimes it means arranging transportation, helping with a sober living placement, or guiding them to a low-cost or Medicaid-covered program.
  • No One Left Behind: We help everyone as much as possible. Even if we can’t fully fund a placement, we work to remove barriers and offer hope, direction, and tangible next steps.
