White Horse Recovery, a nonprofit behavioral health center serving the North Country and Lakes Region, is taking a significant step to remove accessibility barriers with the purchase of two new vehicles dedicated to client transportation.
According to Executive Director Matthew Plache, the impact is clear. “These vehicles will allow us to be more mobile and have a greater impact,” he said. “Right now, we only have one van.”
With these additions, he said they will be able to transport more people to appointments and intensive outpatient programs, making it easier for clients to get the help they need. The new vehicles will also enable White Horse Recovery to become credentialed with Coordinated Transportation Solutions (CTS), which provides Medicaid transport.
“Any of our Medicaid clients will be able to get rides from us, and we’ll be reimbursed for it,” he added. “There’s been a huge barrier trying to get CTS to transport our clients because they don’t have enough drivers. Now, we can step in and help fill that gap.”
For those without Medicaid, Plache said no one will be turned away. “Everyone is treated equally and accepted as they are,” he added.
Founded in Center Ossipee, New Hampshire, White Horse Recovery has grown from a small organization into a leading nonprofit with 28 employees across four locations, providing both mental health and substance use disorder services.
