4806 Foundation was created primarily to provide a financial resource for young people who are seeking treatment for substance abuse and related disorders.

4806 Foundation was born of experiences at Gray Wolf Ranch, an innovative and successful wilderness-based extended care program in the Pacific Northwest for young men recovering from addiction. It became clear that many young adults and their families could not afford the types of treatment that could only be made available through business-based programs. Based on the belief that no one should be denied treatment because of financial need, the Foundation was formed to provide scholarships for deserving young adults who want to make a profound lifestyle change - to turn their lives around to become sober and productive.

With the assistance of 4806 Foundation, more young men and women will be able to participate in the carefully developed and well-run treatment programs available in the private sector. These therapy providers, who are carefully screened by the Foundation, must meet stringent criteria, including licensing, accreditation, cost-effectiveness, and a proven history of success. Scholarship beneficiaries must be accepted into one of these approved programs, in addition to demonstrating financial need. All scholarship funding is provided directly to the theraputic program; the Foundation does not make payments to individuals in recovery.

4806 Foundation also advises and educates young people about the many options available to guide and support them in their struggle with substance abuse. The Foundation provides information regarding types of treatment and referrals to licensed providers
