Hazelden’s CEO on the evolution of addiction treatment
Manage episode 436670324 series 2939763
Addiction was seen as a moral failing in 1949 when what’s now the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation opened its sanctuary for alcoholic men in Center City, Minn.
In the 75 years since then, much has been learned about what leaves people vulnerable to substance use disorders. At least some of the stigma connected to addiction has lifted. And, there’s more understanding about what helps people through addiction — including medications and a strong community.
MPR News host Angela Davis talks with Hazelden’s CEO Dr. Joseph Lee as the organization marks its 75th anniversary about how treatment and attitudes toward addiction have changed and about how people can get help today.
Guest:
Dr. Joseph Lee is the president and chief executive officer of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation based in Center City, Minn. He’s a child and adult psychiatrist and board certified in addiction medicine. He previously served as medical director for the organization’s National Youth Continuum. He’s also the author of “Recovering My Kid: Parenting Young Adults in Treatment and Beyond,” a practical guide for parental leadership in times of crisis.
