New Hampshire Agencies
Breathe New Hampshire is the state's oldest nonprofit voluntary health agency. It was established in 1916, when a group of concerned New Hampshire residents organized to form the New Hampshire Tuberculosis Association. The original mission was to stop the spread of tuberculosis in the Granite State. It was during this period that TB sanatoriums were built throughout the state to help patients with TB to recover and to prevent the spread of this highly contagious disease to others.
The Dartmouth Center on Addiction, Recovery and Education (DCARE) is a collaborative effort of Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School . The Center, under the auspices of the Provost of the College, was founded by a coalition of Dartmouth students, alumni, faculty, administrators and staff along with members of the regional community dedicated to addressing alcohol, tobacco and other drug use related issues.
DrugfreeNH.org is a collaborative effort of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services’ Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services, the Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Intervention and Treatment and the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Hampshire.
Friends of Recovery, NH is a grassroots organization of people in recovery, family members, and others who support addiction recovery.
FORNH and its family-focused partner F.A.S.T.E.R (Families advocating Substance abuse Treatment, Education & Recovery) address issues that the recovery community find important: stigma, lack of information about recovery, lack of treatment, and other obstacles to people getting the help to find recovery.
We spread the word about the value of recovery from drug and alcohol abuse and the effects of addictions.
The mission of the Governor's Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Intervention and Treatment is to significantly reduce alcohol and drug problems and their behavioral, health and social consequences for the citizens of NH by advising the Governor regarding policy, funding and the delivery of effective, efficient, coordinated alcohol and drug abuse prevention and treatment services.
