Images of the original wood-paneled library, gracious dining room and bright sunroom filled me with a sense of nostalgia and connection. But what really captured my attention was a statement accompanying those photos. It reads: “Alcoholism is recognized at Hazelden for what it is—a disease—and not a moral deficiency.” Remember, this was 70 years ago. While the idea of creating a humane, therapeutic HELPING MORE PEOPLE environment for people with addiction doesn’t RECLAIM THEIR LIVES FROM seem a remarkable concept today, it was almost ADDICTION, WITH EACH unheard of in 1949. In those days, people with NEW DAY addiction were seen as lacking character and willpower. Two options existed for “the chronic inebriate”: a psychiatric ward where addiction was viewed as more of a complicating factor than an actual disorder, or the institutional environment of a state hospital. By contrast, Hazelden opened on the banks of South Center Lake as a refuge for “the convalescent alcoholic”—a place of nature strolls, easy chairs, long conversations over coffee and a holistic approach to healing the body, mind and spirit. This year, as we mark the 70th anniversary of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, I am reminded that this organization came to be because our founders had the courage to do things differently. From instilling dignity and respect into the treatment experience, to establishing one of the nation’s first treatment centers for women, to pioneering a program of education and support for families, to creating specialized care for children hurt by addiction, to developing the leading evidence-based treatment protocol for opioid use disorder, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation has, with each new day, stepped up to the challenge of helping more people reclaim their lives from addiction. Together, let’s keep pushing forward, united in our vision that no one need suffer or die from a disease that can be treated, managed and overcome. Mark G. Mishek President & CEO, Hazelden Betty Ford oundationF TOGETHER SPRING 2019 HazeldenBettyFord.org 3 REACH AND IMPACT PASS IT ON Sharing what works so more people can heal from addiction What started as an unassuming experiment in Over the years, the Hazelden Betty ordF Foundation has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals and families overcome alcoholism treatment in 1949 set into motion addiction, impacting entire communities.

  • 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.

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. And there were times when he picked her up from play dates with alcohol on his breath. He knew, deep down, he needed help. He called Hazelden. “I was honest about my drinking for the first time. Something happens when you’re honest,” recalls Ben. “I remember telling the counselor I’d do anything he said—I’d wear red clown shoes and jump up and down if I could take a shower in the morning without, halfway through, wondering what I was going to drink and how I was going to hide it.” “Treatment allowed me to draw a line in the sand—to say, ‘From this point forward, things are going to be different.’” Now, at age 38, Ben takes life one day at a time—without alcohol or other drugs—grateful to a be part of his young family in a way he never could when beer and gin comprised his priority list. “I’m learning to be present for my family,” says Ben. “I finally understand what that means, and it’s something I strive to do every day: Be home for dinner, cook dinner, serve them, pick up the house and set an example for my kids.” His enthusiastic and lasting sobriety landed Ben a job coordinating recovery services for young adults who either attend or want to attend the College of St.
