OSSIPEE — White Horse Recovery Center is abandoning its plans to open a 28-bed residential addiction treatment facility on Old Granite Road, its CEO told the Sun Tuesday.
White Horse is a 501(c)(3) non-profit behavioral health center with locations in Ossipee and North Conway. It offers both secular and Christian-based substance-use disorder programs, as well as mental health services.

To clarify a few things not made clear in this article. Yeaton is set to receive a reduced amount this year to a 150,000.00 from Carroll County taxpayers, last year it was 160,000.00 and the year earlier 106,000.00.
In addition, each year he receives 13,000.00 from 14 towns in Carroll County; and in addition to that he receives 30 to 40 thousand from health and human service grants, and each year 180,00.00 from Harbor Homes Inc. That is a boat load of tax free gifted money unbeknownst by the taxpayers. And GOD know what else.
I guess it pays to go to a Christian course college to get a master’s degree on how to operate a 'non profit' and then deny sharing the Gospel in order to secure the funds from the CC Delegation that actually asked him on this and he denounced teaching GOD at all in his facilities, and that article was also in the Sun. This I add only to clarify a few missing facts from this article.
At the ZBA meeting we outlined the severe and costly restrictions that would prohibit him from pursuing the very wrong site proposed at 45 Old Granite Rd., but he nor the ZBA board members took to heart that night. I was told at the CC meeting by Kim Tessari that the boards were holding the meetings just to appease those of us opposed, and that they were going to vote for it all along. Oh yes, I was very angry about the doings of all the elected board members. It has been a very shameful display all around, by all the boards involved. In any case, I'm happy to be done with it all.
And I thank GOD for hearing us and for the good result delivered. My only advice to people is to go and pay attention to what your elected officials are doing with your money. Otherwise, wolves allowed in the henhouse will wreck it, every time, without impunity, and then treat you as if you were not even relevant when you want to question them. Don’t allow that to happen again.
Get involved and stay that way.
