Hunterdon Prevention Resources was incorporated in 1971 as a private non-profit charitable organization.  HPR was known then as the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence, Inc. of Hunterdon County.  It was a community based information and referral service.  Developed by local residents responding to the needs of individuals, family members, and friends, it focused on its primary goal of prevention, education, information, and referral.

In 1998, Hunterdon Prevention Resources developed its new name, expanded services and implemented its comprehensive holistic program dedicated to the prevention of alcohol and drug abuse, treatment through education, training, intervention, community awareness, information/referral services, and counseling.

Hunterdon Prevention Resources is the Hunterdon County member of the New Jersey Prevention Network, a state-wide model organization of county agencies dedicated to the prevention and education of substance abuse and related issues.

In the new millennium, Hunterdon Prevention Resources, a multifaceted public health service agency, continues to respond to and meet the diverse needs of its community members by recognizing the severity of chemical dependency and related issues.  This insidious disease touches the lives of our parents, grandparents, and children from all economic and cultural backgrounds.  Our dedication to fighting the effects of addictions has not waned since 1971.
