- Headrest is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides addiction and crisis support services, focusing on those who can not otherwise afford these services. Only a very small percent of our clients’ costs are paid for by our clients.
- Beginning in 1971 as
a hotline and resource for crisis and addiction services at Dartmouth College,
Headrest has grown to become a service leader in these fields within the Upper
Connecticut River Valley, New Hampshire, Vermont,
and beyond.
- Located in Lebanon, NH,
its services include in-patient and out-patient services to support addiction
recovery. The 24-hour hotline which has operated continuously since its
inception in 1971, and now is the only hotline that operates full-time, 7 days
a week, for New Hampshire and Vermont.
Our Mission
To assist those who are addicted, in crisis or without support by developing, maintaining and delivering effective programs.
Funding and Contribution Sources
Our clientele are low income individuals or those with no means of support, who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. Typically, Headrest is their last resort. We also provide residential treatment and detoxification programs, maintain AA and NA meetings, and answer crisis hotlines. Headrest receives less than 2% of its funding from client fees, and must rely on State funding and charitable contributions. We are grateful to those who feel treatment of this destructive illness is an important priority. In the last twelve months our substance abuse counselors have performed over 1,500 hours of individual, group, and family counseling. We are essentially at capacity. Additional funding would enable us to add counselors to meet the demand.
