  • Interview with John Schwarzlose President and CEO of the Betty Ford Center
    Published in abridged form in Counselor. Pioneer Series A Purposeful Life: An Interview with John Schwarzlose President and CEO of the Betty Ford Center William L. White, MA In April 1978, former President and First Lady Jerry and Betty Ford announced to the nation that Mrs. Ford had sought treatment and was recovering from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. It was a riveting moment in the history of addiction treatment and recovery in America, but the Ford family had further contributions to make to that history. On October 4, 1982, the Betty Ford Center opened on the grounds of the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California. When Mrs. Ford sought a leader for the treatment center that would bear her name, she chose John Schwarzlose. Since then, the Betty Ford Center has achieved international esteem under his leadership and has treated more than 80,000 patients (half of whom have been women). Through these years, the Center also developed specialized treatment for licensed professionals, innovative programs of focused continuing care, state-of-the-art family and children’s programs, and an independent Betty Ford Institute whose mission includes recovery-focused research dissemination, public and professional education, and policy advocacy. I have known John Schwarzlose as a valued colleague and friend for most of my career and welcomed the opportunity to interview him in between sessions of the 2010 annual meeting of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers. Join me in this sweeping discussion of John’s career and the work of the Betty Ford Center. Education and Early Career Bill White: John, let me start with the question all of us in this field are often asked: “How did you choose to work in this most unusual profession?” John Schwarzlose: Well, it’s an interesting story.

  • The Human Factor
    The Human Factor By Sally Satel Tuesday, July 10, 2007 Filed under: Big Ideas, Health & Medicine Drug abuse causes hundreds of billions of dollars in economic losses and untold personal heartache. How to limit the damage? SALLY SATEL suggests we start by ditching the ‘brain disease’ model that’s popular with scientists and focus on treating addicts as people with the power to reshape their own lives. Despite its own prejudices, an HBO series transmits just this message of responsibility and optimism. For nearly a century, the United States government has been waging one unsuccessful anti-drug crusade after another. Today, more than 20 million Americans abuse drugs and alcohol[1]. And while the users themselves pay a high price in stunted lives and heartache, the social and economic costs are staggering. The direct effects of addiction— homelessness, unemployment, and disease—and the costs of interdiction and incarceration are estimated at over $200 billion annually[2]. The annual burden in lost productivity in the workplace, mainly from absenteeism and accidents, is another $129 billion, and employees’ drug- and alcohol- related healthcare costs add $16 billion[3]. In all, that’s about 3 percent of our gross domestic product. Addicts and their families—and the rest of us who help pick up the pieces—have it hard enough. The last thing we need is a confusing public health message about the nature of addiction. Yet that is exactly what was purveyed earlier in the year by an ambitious television series on HBO about substance abuse. While much of the series preached an ultra-medicalized philosophy of addiction—one I find woefully misleading—the broader message, paradoxically, was powerful and accurate: namely, that addicts are endowed with the ability to change their own lives.

Although the panel reached an agreement on six recommendations for policy changes that can make help more accessible and expand treatment to more people. These recommendations are: (1) treatment for alcoholism and other drug addiction must be covered as a health benefit on an equal basis with treatment for other diseases; (2) limited access to treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction is a national crisis that calls for a broad-based national campaign to educate the public and build political support;(3) research on the nature and treatment of addiction and recovery should be expanded and the results made accessible to professionals, policymakers, and the public;(4) education and training on addiction and recovery should be required for all health, mental health, social service, and justice system professionals;(5) treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction must be monitored by independent treatment managers with no vested financial interests in order to ensure ongoing treatment effectiveness; and (6) diagnosis, treatment, and long-term recovery must be integrated into a coordinated community-wide strategy to reduce alcohol and other drug problems.

  • Women Who Made a Difference
    White, W. (2004). Women who made (and are making) a difference. Counselor, 5(5), 25-29. Women Who Made (and are Making) a Difference William L. White When I entered the field of addiction treatment in the 1960s, it was a man’s world, and it had been a man’s world for more than 175 years. It was a professional arena dominated by male service consumers, male service providers, male administrators, and male policy makers. Women filling such roles were an anomaly, not the norm. That world changed because women pioneers made significant contributions to the history of the addiction treatment field. The purpose of this article is to honor a few of these pioneers who made, and are making, a difference through their research, clinical innovation, public and professional education, public policy advocacy and through their philanthropy. Here are more than sixty women who made and are making a difference in the addiction treatment and recovery arena. Dr. Andrea Barthwell has served as the Deputy Director of Demand Reduction in the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Before assuming this position, she served as medical director of several addiction treatment programs and as president of the board of the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Dr. Barthwell is a passionate and articulate advocate for enhanced accessibility and quality of addiction treatment. Dr. LeClair Bissell is one of the modern pioneers of addiction medicine and the broader field of addiction treatment. Her contributions to the field are reflected in awards from the American Society on Addiction Medicine and the Christopher D.
