The idea for 10,000 Beds was born out of founder Jean Krisle's awareness of empty beds in treatment centers throughout the United States, and at the same time, people without resources wanting and needing addiction treatment. Jean knew this was an equation that needed to be solved. The unique model of reaching out directly to treatment centers for scholarships has resulted in more than $5,000,000 in awarded scholarships since 10,000 Beds launched in September 2015. We expect to award more than $10,000,000 by the end of 2018.
