We work together on your behalf and recommend an individualized, comprehensive program to help you achieve and sustain recovery. 1 Addiction and Mental Health Treatment Can you imagine your doctor saying, “We’ll wait to treat your diabetes until after we treat your heart disease”? Of course not. Likewise, it doesn’t make sense to treat addiction but ignore other issues such as depression or anxiety. If you need help addressing mental and emotional health issues, Hazelden has the breadth of expertise to treat the whole you. Not only does it make more sense, it improves your chances for lifelong recovery. Treatment that works With decades of experience and research behind us, we know what therapies work best for lifelong recovery. Though your treatment plan is never one-size-fits-all, you can expect Hazelden’s programs to use a variety of therapies that have been proven effective — they work. Medication management Hazelden’s psychiatrists and medical doctors take great care in monitoring your prescription and over-the- counter drugs to keep you emotionally stable and com- fortable. Our goal is to help you focus on treatment so you can pick up the business of being you. 2 What to Expect from Hazelden Treatment Programs and Services Because every person’s situation is different, we offer a variety of programs. Together, we can sort out the best approach for you. Chemical use assessments and evaluations When you reach out to us for help, we start from the beginning — we don’t make any assumptions about you. We’ll start by assessing your alcohol and other drug use and your mental and physical health. That helps us to decide if and what kind of treatment is needed. Many assessment options are available: • Free, phone-based assessments with • Free, confidential, self-guided, online a licensed addiction professional. alcohol and drug screening tool at aboutmydrinking.org. • In-person assessments to determine whether treatment services are recom- • In-depth residential evaluation of mended and if so what type.

Your treatment program will be designed with whatever therapies, medications, and mental health services are appropriate. Care for the mind, body, and spirit — that’s the plan — and our plans are always based on research and proven techniques. Primary care Some of those who turn to Hazelden will start in a primary care addiction treatment program (what many people call “rehab”). Our residential facilities are warm and welcoming and we work hard to ensure your peace and comfort during your stay. The length of stay depends on your treatment needs and the progress you’re making. Extended care We offer extended-care programs for those who have more complex recovery issues. These programs allow for in-depth attention to special issues, mental health complications, relapse prevention, and sober living skills. Extended care is our way of giving you the time you need to practice new recovery skills and understand what you need to succeed. Gender-focused care Since 1956, we have maintained separate residential programs and lodging for males and fe- males. This style of programming allows you to stay focused on your recovery and to explore sensitive issues while bonding with peers, giving you the best chance for success. 4 Specialized Addiction Treatment Programs Addiction treatment for health Addiction treatment for adolescents care professionals and young adults While caring for others is rewarding, it’s also Hazelden is reaching out like never before stressful, and we understand the challenges to help young people, who need and deserve better than anybody.

At home and at work Alum finds inspiration through service At age 33, Ben B. became a stay-at-home dad. Before he knew it, his alcohol consumption escalated, turning him into the dad he never wanted to be. Too drunk to take his three-year-old daughter to swimming lessons, he’d trek with her instead to the liquor store or plop her in front of the television for hours.
