The Indiana Recovery Alliance operates under the philosophy of harm reduction to educate the community about health risks and to promote the health and dignity of the individuals and communities impacted by drug use. We respectfully collaborate with people to assist in any positive change, as a person defines it for themselves, beginning where the person is at with no biases or condemnations for the person's chosen lifestyle. Our efforts advance policies, practices and programs that address the adverse effects of drug use including overdose, HIV, hepatitis C, addiction and incarceration.

Our mission is to protect an addict's right to treatment and, with the support of our partners, provide scholarship treatment to those without resources seeking help for addiction. Our goal is to identify and award 10,000 scholarship treatment beds by 2020. We will do this by partnering with quality treatment centers throughout the nation who sponsor one or more treatment beds each year. We currently have more than 200 treatment program partners nationwide. The idea for 10,000 Beds was conceived by our founder Jean Krisle in late 2014. The idea was the result of conversations with many needing help who had no resources and site visits to treatment centers with empty beds. Our unique model of contacting treatment programs directly for the donation of scholarship beds was created as a credible option to raising millions of dollars. It is applauded throughout the addiction industry. We ask our partners to commit to one bed per year (we consider "one bed" to be a typical treatment program offered by each respective treatment center, with a minimum requirement of 30 days. Many of our partners have generously offered more than one bed per year. There is only one way to apply for a 10,000 Beds scholarship application. Potential clients visit the scholarship page on our website and submit answers to the more than 20 questions. Applications must be complete and honest. Three sets of eyes will review every application: our founder, our volunteer psych evaluator, and a member of our board of directors. Once this process is complete, we reach out to let the applicant know the status of their application and either move forward with reaching out to one of our treatment program partners, or offer more appropriate options for each individual situation. Awarded our nonprofit 501c3 status in April 2015 and officially launched in September 2015, with our first scholarship placement in December 2015, 10,000 Beds, Inc. has placed more than one million dollars ($1,000,000) in treatment scholarships in 2016.
