It offers assessment and primary residential addiction treatment for adults and youth, including extended care and intermediate care, as well as outpatient treatment, aftercare services and a family program.According to their mission statement, Hazelden helps "people sustain lifelong recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs.

History

Hazelden began as a simple farmhouse retreat called the Old Lodge in 1949. It was limited to male alcoholics. The original program designed by Lynne Carroll was based on Alcoholics Anonymous principles, especially the twelve steps. In the first 18 months 156 men were helped. In 1953, the Fellowship Club was established as a halfway house to provide additional help for patients after attending the Center City program. The Dellwood site was later moved to the Center City campus.

Dan Anderson was vice president of Hazelden from 1961 and president between 1971 and 1986. Ellen Breyer, formerly president and CEO, stepped down on April 4, 2008; a successor has not yet been named. [Hazelden, " [http://www.hazelden.org/web/public/ceo_resigns.page Hazelden President and CEO Ellen Breyer to step down April 4] ," press release, February 22, 2008 (accessed April 20, 2008).]

1999 saw the opening of the Hazelden Graduate School of Addiction Studies in Center City.
