What is treatment like at Hazelden?
Hazelden programs approach treatment with several things in mind. First, we treat each person who comes to us with dignity and respect and we provide a safe place in which to start the healing process. Next, we want to be very accurate in any diagnosis so the assessment and evaluation processes are very thorough to ensure that the person is clinically appropriate for our level of care. Our treatment philosophy is based on the recognition that addiction is a disease and that abstinence is the only way to manage the disease. We approach each person in a holistic way, working with mind, body and spirit as integral components of a healthy life.
