The Grayken Center for Addiction at Boston Medical Center is committed to ensuring treatment and support is available to every patient with substance use disorder. Grayken serves as a national resource for policy makers, clinician thought leaders, and advocates to bring evidence-based practice to our most vulnerable patients.
The Center was launched in 2017 with a generous gift from the Grayken family the largest private gift in the US in the last decade in the addiction field. With the US death rate from opioids now higher than it is for car accidents, the timing could not be more critical.
Today, the Center serves as the umbrella for all of BMC's work in addiction and is a national resource for revolutionizing addiction treatment and education, replicating best practices, and providing policy, advocacy and thought leadership to the field.
By disseminating proven models of care, the Center's work affirms that treatment works and recovery is possible.
