By the end of the decade the agency had grown to 48 paid staff members with a budget of 1 million dollars. 

Through state funding, community support and a strong desire to help our community, Head Rest continued to add programs and staff. They also shifted their focus from programs reacting to issues in our community to a broader, educational approach aimed not only at young drug abusers, but the whole family. Additional programs included the Ombudsman program in schools, the Juvenile Diversion program, Hutton House, several educational workshops, employment training programs, and personal growth groups.
