Because No One Should Be Judged by Their Worst Moments
Dismas Home helps New Hampshire women in recovery rebuild their lives after incarceration.
Dismas Home of New Hampshire is the only program in the state with a unique two-phase approach that supports recovery and restores physical, emotional, and mental health.
Our residents receive 24/7 support, extensive therapy with licensed addiction counselors, workforce education, and a home environment for up to 15 months.
There is a 90% success rate for women who complete the program.
Exciting News about our Rochester Home!
Dismas Home of New Hampshire is opening a Rochester Home to expand services for justice-involved women in recovery, adding 20 beds, vocational training, and 24/7 clinical care to meet growing statewide demand of care.
This new Rochester location lets us extend our two-phase model—comprehensive clinical treatment followed by transitional living—into the Seacoast region, providing more women with the safe environment, skills, and support they need to thrive after incarceration. We expect to welcome residents in August 2026.

I visited Dismas Home and was impressed with the comfort, support, and treatment they provide. I know firsthand that several drug court participants would never be successful without Dismas Home. I am so grateful for the work they do!

What Does Success Look Like?
Over the years, we’ve had many former residents reach out to us to share their achievements that they never thought were possible. They enjoy:
- Full employment and independent housing
- Long-term recovery, with tools to manage life’s challenges
- Belief that they are worthy of a stable and happy life
- Having the courage to pursue a career, family, or education
- Giving back and helping others
I came to Dismas excited for my future, for once. My future without drugs and fair-weather friends. A future built by god for me only. I could not imagine my life without Dismas Home’s program. I know now that 30 days isn’t close to enough recovery.
Grateful isn’t even a big enough word to express my gratitude towards Dismas Home. They helped open me up to a new realm of life, a life I want to live. A life in recovery, living as confidently as I can with my disease. THAT is priceless.Shannon, resident
