BehAVIoral Health in nh

“What is addiction, really? It is a sign, a signal, a symptom of distress. It is a language that tells us about a plight that must be understood.”   – Alice Miller

Mental health, behavioral health, and substance use disorders are at the core of issues critical to a thriving community. White Horse aims to to help all those in need to support healthy, thriving communities in Carrol County.

In New Hampshire, an annual average of more than 105,000 adults aged 18 or older with any Mental Illness (49.3% of all adults with AMI) from 2011 to 2015 received mental health services in the past year; 50.7% did not receive help (1). We aim to close that gap.

New Hampshire also has one of the highest rates of drug and alcohol addiction per capita in the U.S. It also has one of the highest rates of drug overdose deaths per capita in the country, ranging from 78% to 97% higher than national averages. Carroll County represents 36% of the addicted population in NH with an estimated 5,000 people suffering (2).

Our clinicians provide treatment to more than 200 clients in our outpatient programs per year. Our Resource Community Centers have more than 3,400 client visits annually.

Recently, we added mental health and children’s to our service offerings to be able to reach a broader local demographic in need.

We know that is just the beginning. There are so many more people in our County and State that would benefit from our assistance and your donations and support will make that happen.

We depend on donations and the support of volunteers to enable us to meet the needs of our clients. Any donation of money or time is greatly appreciated and goes toward helping those battling with drug and alcohol misuse, recovery or mental health challenges.
