“We envision a world where individuals in recovery from a substance use disorder are not sidelined because of their past, but welcomed, embraced and included as valuable, lovable people with limitless futures.”
— Jean Krisle, Founder, 10,000 Beds, Inc.
The mission of 10,000 Beds is to connect individuals seeking help for addiction, to vetted treatment programs and to be a resource to families affected by the disease of addiction.
We are able to accomplish our mission through the 10,000 Beds “One Bed. One Life” Scholarship program. We partner with extraordinary treatment programs throughout the United States that donate at least one addiction treatment scholarship annually for qualifying 10,000 Beds scholarship applicants who are without resources and actively seeking help for addiction.
Over the past three years, 10,000 Beds has criss-crossed the country through our #ontheroad4recovery program. This year alone we have traveled to California, Arizona, Idaho, throughout Utah and Nevada.
We have met with thousands of people – families, community leaders, educators, students, individuals battling addiction, fellow travelers, and more. We have loved this outreach effort and the people we have met along the way. Our 2020 program will be slightly different, watch for updates, it’s going to be a lot of fun!
We are not a 24/7 emergency hotline or treatment placement service.
If you are in an emergency situation, dial 911 immediately.
Our online application for 2019 scholarships will be open Monday, August 19th for one day. We expect to receive more than 100 applications. As you can imagine, with the addiction crisis our nation is facing, the number of applicants we receive is enormous. We close applications mid-October each year to allow us to award scholarships to our remaining approved applicants before year’s end.
We are not a 24/7 emergency hotline and we cannot accommodate requests for immediate placement in treatment. Please remember: our process takes time.

Everything We Do Comes From A Place Of GRATITUDE
Our founder, Jean Krisle, is the grateful mother of a son who chose treatment and recovery over death or incarceration.
Jean is keenly aware that she is one of the lucky ones. She is also aware that each new day with her son is a miracle.There are many who have lost their children to this destructive disease. She grieves with those who grieve and strives to provide hope to those whose hope is waning.
Along with prayers for peace for the countless who have lost loved ones to the deadly misuse of substances, Jean expresses her personal gratitude and prays that all in recovery will continue to choose life.
At 10,000 Beds, following the lead of our founder, everything we do to support and promote recovery is our way of expressing joy and gratitude for every new day of life chosen by each person in recovery.
We celebrate recovery. We are grateful for recovery.
Our mission is all about recovery. We are #ontheroad4recovery.
