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.

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-thecounter drugs to keep you emotionally stable and comfortable. 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 a licensed addiction professional. In-person assessments to determine whether treatment services are recommended and if so what type. A more lengthy assessment is available for those who have been court-ordered or who need assessment documentation. Free, confidential, self-guided, online alcohol and drug screening tool at aboutmydrinking.org. In-depth residential evaluation of psychological issues, spirituality, family relationships, physical health, social history, and chemical use. 3
Residential addiction treatment At Hazelden, we believe it takes much more than getting clean and sober to get well. 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 females. 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

You will get professional advice and counsel, take part in group discussions, and take time to read and reflect. And you will find a renewed sense of hope and a new set of life tools. 7
Recovery Management Completing treatment at Hazelden is just the start. Like any ongoing illness, recovery from addiction requires ongoing management. Whether you ve been clean and sober for a few days or a decade, we have invaluable resources to help you maintain your freedom from addiction. Our supporting programs and services will help you continue the progress you made during your initial treatment, reinforce good habits, and help you stay connected in your recovery community.
