Nonprofit Foundation Offering Addiction Recovery Support

Addiction-related issues and deaths are rampant across this country, and the data suggests the problem is only getting worse.

The health crisis has grown increasingly dire along the East Coast, with several New England states leading the nation in drug use and addiction rates. These addiction hotbeds include the District of Columbia, Vermont, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

In response to this life-threatening health epidemic, longtime recovery professional Jim Haggerty decided to take action. He started the ECHO Foundation in 2014 to help combat the rise of dangerous drug overdoses.

What Is the ECHO Foundation

The ECHO Foundation is a nonprofit addiction education and recovery support organization dedicated to mentoring and providing the tools and resources needed to those seeking treatment and long-term sobriety.

Additionally, our foundation seeks to educate the community on the effects of drug and alcohol abuse and help end the stigma around addiction. We do this through our blog, social media, events, free art classes, featuring artists in recovery, our Recovery Apparel and Art Cart and honoring our mission to spread the word and help save lives by supporting individuals in recovery.

Affordable Drug and Alcohol Recovery Sober Living Housing

ECHO stands for East Coast Housing Opportunities.

One of the most important ways that we provide support for those seeking treatment is through sober living financial support.

You might be surprised to learn that many individuals who are in treatment can’t afford safe and supportive housing. Others might have housing, but lack the income to cover basic needs. This is hardly setting them up for success.

We can do better.

Donations to ECHO go towards financial support for those who need it most.
