The Blackburn Foundation was created to give people access to up to 12 months of addiction and mental health treatment, because access to care is a basic human right.
The problem
In the United States, 46.3 million people have a substance use disorder, and only about 10% have access to care. Even with insurance, few plans cover more than six weeks of treatment. Long-term care can lower relapse rates from about 60% to 17% or less.
Our approach
Founded by addiction field veteran Robby Patrick, the Foundation follows a 12-month step-down continuum of care. Its scholarship program helps people break the cycle of addiction and build lasting recovery.
Our impact
Since launching in November 2023, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.65 million in treatment scholarships and helped more than 100 people get into treatment who otherwise could not have afforded it.
The Blackburn Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every scholarship opens the door to the kind of long-term care that gives people a real chance at lasting recovery.
How scholarships work
Scholarships help cover the cost of addiction and mental health treatment for people who need care but cannot pay for it on their own. The Foundation focuses on long-term care, following a step-down continuum that can last up to 12 months, because short stays alone often are not enough.
To ask about scholarship support for yourself or a loved one, call us or contact The Blackburn Foundation directly.
Looking ahead
By 2028, the Foundation plans to open a recovery campus in West Los Angeles on more than 20,000 square feet, bringing addiction, spiritual, nutritional, professional and wellness services together in open, inspiring spaces.
Creative Arts Community Center
Separate from the recovery campus, the Foundation runs the Creative Arts Community Center, a nonprofit arts and recovery space at 3814 Willat Ave in Culver City. The center hosts an Open Art Studio on Thursday afternoons and Creative Recovery, a Friday night recovery meeting, along with events throughout the year. Learn more at bfcacc.org.
