Overview
Mission
To provide hope, healing, and lasting recovery to individuals and their families who suffer from alcoholism and other substance use related disorders.
What it reported doing in 2024
Primary residential program: pavillon's program philosophy is one of ensuring cessation of illicit use of substances with addiction potential (rather than reduced or moderated use), and is rooted in the evidence-based clinical practice of 12 step facilitation. We prescribe medications on an individualized basis as determined by our medical staff for substance use disorders as well as psychiatric conditions. Clinical programming includes additional evidence-based practices, such as: gender-specific care, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered counseling, experiential therapies, trauma-informed therapies (e.g. Emdr), and options such as acupuncture and massage. Improvements experienced in the primary program progresses through the following three (3) stages. In terms of neurobiology and physiology, it is common for someone to experience cognitive clearing. After their substance use or drinking has stopped and while their cognition is clearing, their physiology is also continuing to adapt to the absence of substances. During this stage the person is gaining an ability to learn from the treatment program, as they participate, depending on the person's use pattern and the specific substances they were taking prior to admission. Initial feelings of denial, anger, blaming, grief and sadness can be present. During the second stage of persons stay, they begins to develop important insights. They begin to see that there is another way for them to live. The person works on their recovery needs with other people and begins to realize there are other people just like them. This raises hope. The person also begins to see what has happened as a result of their substance use. They begin to realize what they have done and what it has caused. They begin to process this with others, and doing so is a powerfully positive experience. In the final stage of our program, important changes continue to take place. In terms of neurobiology and physiology, the person is stable and continuing to improve. They begin to gain insight into what tools they will need to implement for lasting recovery following their treatment. They begin to identify the practical ways they will need to implement those tools for recovery. They gain significant insights about solutions that might be outside of themselves, and begin to integrate how those outside solutions can help and actually work to support recovery. In the final stage they also plan for the feelings and circumstances related to returning to their relationships, home, work, school, and life with others, including their family members and other important supportive people. This process of recovery planning and continuing care planning is vital. For fiscal year ending in 2025, pavillon received 1,325 inquiries regarding our treatment program, resulting in 390 admissions, 14,026 patient days, and an average length of stay of 36 days. We completed 54 professional 4-day evaluations.
Operating model

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
