Gaudenzia Releases 2025 Frontline Report
A Data-Informed Look at Behavioral Health, Recovery, and Workforce Trends
Philadelphia, PA, Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NORRISTOWN, PA – February 3, 2026 — Gaudenzia, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit behavioral health and recovery organizations, has released its 2025 Frontline Report, offering a powerful, data-driven look into the realities, needs, and innovations shaping care across the Mid-Atlantic.
Drawing from thousands of real-time service interactions across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C., the report blends hard data with frontline insight to spotlight trends, gaps, and calls to action for policymakers, providers, and community partners.
“Our teams walk alongside people every day who are facing addiction, homelessness, and untreated mental health conditions,” said Dr. Deja Gilbert, President and CEO of Gaudenzia. “This report captures the scope and complexity of those needs—and the strength of our collective response.”
Key Findings from the 2025 Frontline Report:
- Shifting Drug Supply: A marked rise in treatment admissions involving xylazine and other synthetic additives points to urgent needs for updated detox protocols and public education.
- Mental Health Complexity: More than 70% of Gaudenzia’s residential clients presented with both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.
- Pathways to Recovery: Clients are increasingly transitioning from high-intensity treatment into outpatient, housing, and community-based supports—reinforcing the importance of recovery housing, step-down care, and family engagement.
- Workforce Pressures: Frontline data illustrates ongoing strain on the behavioral health workforce and a growing need for strategic investment in staffing, training, and coordination of care.
Beyond the Numbers
The report goes beyond charts and graphs—elevating the voices of clients, staff, and program leaders to contextualize what these trends mean on the ground.
“Data tells us what’s happening—but our teams help explain why it matters,” said Trish Caldwell, Chief Clinical Officer. “This report is part of Gaudenzia’s commitment to transparency, innovation, and impact in behavioral healthcare.”
