Hearthstone Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c) (3), Tax Deductible Charitable Organization. We are self-supporting through our own contributions. We receive no funding from City, State or Federal Government Agencies.
The only requirement to enter Peabody House is a sincere desire to develop and continue living an alcohol and drug free lifestyle. If you have the willingness to involve yourself in your own recovery process we can help. As much as others want you to be successful in your recovery, you have to want it more than others want it for you. If you are interested in a safe, supportive environment while developing a recovery lifestyle for yourself, Peabody House can assist you in those efforts.
Peabody House is totally self-supporting. We accept no money from the Federal, State, City government, or from any outside source. It is our firm belief that if our members are receiving public assistance, in the form of welfare or food stamps, it will keep them in a cycle of dependence that will hinder their recovery. You will rarely see a smile as wide as that on the face of a person who is finally supporting themselves. This of course does not include those with a legitimate disability. Since we expect our members to be self- supporting, it would be hypocritical of us not to be.
It is suggested that you stay at Peabody House for at least six months. This will provide you with a good foundation and help you maintain sobriety after you leave. It is not mandatory that you leave after six months. Several of our members needed to stay longer due to more than average problems when they came in.
The payment schedule is arranged to enable you to meet your present obligations and allow the balance of your pay to be saved to deal with past or future financial needs. These include; fines, back child support, restitution, buying a car,education, and moving from Peabody House to a house or apartment that you will be proud to call home.
These things are possible, and a good life awaits if you will only accept the guidance of someone who has gone before you.
