A SHARED VISION
More than three decades ago, former First Lady Betty Ford
consulted closely with Hazelden’s pioneering president,
psychologist Dan Anderson (right), in developing the
Betty Ford Center. Also shown is Hazelden administrator,
historian, and author Damian McElrath (left).
Together, we’re building a legacy of hope.
Dear Friends,
If ever there were a “meant to be together” story, the merger of Hazelden and Betty Ford Center
fits the narrative. Both nonprofit organizations were founded by courageous leaders, unswerving
in their commitment to providing the most-effective help for individuals and families faced with
addiction—and unconditional in their resolve to show respect and compassion for every patient.
More than 60 years ago, Hazelden’s earliest leaders opened new doors to healing and hope
by developing the addiction treatment approach most widely used in the world today, known
originally as the Minnesota Model. And more than 30 years ago, former First Lady Betty Ford
opened the door to healing and hope even wider by revealing her personal story of addiction
treatment at age 60 and subsequently establishing the Betty Ford Center to help others find new
life in recovery.
Mark G. Mishek
President and CEO,
Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation
You could say Hazelden and the Betty Ford Center were united in mission, vision, and values
decades before our formal merger took place in 2014.
Today, as the nation’s largest nonprofit addiction treatment provider, the Hazelden Betty Ford
Foundation stands united and unwavering in ensuring the most-effective care and support for
individuals, families, and communities devastated by addiction. As illustrated by the stories
we share in our 2014 Gratitude Report, our commitment takes shape on many different levels,
whether we’re
• embracing and empowering children raised in families with addiction;
• educating medical professionals to identify early warning signs of addiction;
• building vibrant communities of recovery help and support;
• walking further with patients and families to inspire recovery that lasts.
Hon. Susan Fox Gillis
Chair, Hazelden Betty Ford
Foundation Board of Trustees
Wherever, however, whenever we can help one more person find freedom from addiction—that’s
where we’ll be and what we’ll be doing.
We have the privilege of seeing hope up close and in action every day at the Hazelden Betty Ford
Foundation. We see that treatment works. Families heal. Recovery lasts. And life gets better. And
it’s only because of your commitment and support as donors that we can reach out with open
arms and the most-effective care and support to the next person who needs our help.

A New Chapter
for Children
Madeline Redstone wants to change the story line for
children raised with addiction in the family
6 ▪ HazeldenBettyFord.org
Meet Madeline Redstone
Madeline Redstone entered treatment at the Betty
Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, as a
grandmother, thinking she had done a pretty good job
of hiding the disease that was consuming her. She left
with an unimaginable new life in recovery—and an
unwavering resolve to open the door of healing and
hope for future generations.
“Addiction remains such a taboo subject in our
families, our schools, and our communities,” says
Redstone. “We’re never going to break the cycle unless
we open up about what’s going on and start talking
with each other.”
Reaching out to young children—“the innocents,” in
Redstone’s words—quickly became her focus.
In every neighborhood and across all socioeconomic
settings, millions of children today are growing up in
homes with addiction. “Not only do these children
face the enormous stress and chaos of addiction in
their daily lives, they’re at far greater risk of eventually
developing addiction themselves,” explains Redstone.
Help for today, hope for tomorrow
The one-of-a-kind Children’s Program at the
Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation helps kids ages
7–12 gain a healthy understanding of how they’ve
been affected by their loved one’s addiction. “It sets
a new course for children,” says Redstone, a leading
champion and foremost fundraiser for the program.
Learning to open up, reach out, and ask for help are
lessons that will serve children well throughout their
lives. And they are lessons Madeline Redstone values
and practices as a woman in recovery.
Through the generosity and compassion of Madeline Redstone
and other big-hearted donors, no child is ever turned away
from the Children’s Program due to lack of funds.
The Children’s Program teaches boys and girls that
they didn’t cause their loved one’s addiction, and they
can’t fix their loved one’s addiction—but they can
learn to cope with the challenges they face at home in
safe and healthy ways.
“Children raised with addiction learn to keep secrets.
So every child thinks he or she is the only one dealing
with these situations,” says Redstone. “What a relief
it is when they discover they’re not alone; when they
feel safe enough to share the fears and worries they’ve
been keeping locked up inside.”
“Admitting we need help and asking for help are
difficult for all of us, at any age and under any
circumstances. But it’s a necessary start for the
healing process,” Redstone says.
Redstone points to the courageous example of former
First Lady Betty Ford who, nearly four decades ago,
spoke openly about seeking treatment for addiction to
alcohol and prescription medications. It’s a legacy of
candor and compassion Redstone proudly passes on
to the next generation.

Beamer Awards celebrate children’s courage and resilience
Getting help with addiction begins with getting
things out in the open, which is the bright idea
behind “Beamer,” the loveable bulb boy mascot for
the Children’s Program at the Hazelden Betty Ford
Foundation. As a cartoon character, Beamer connects
with children in a nonthreatening way about the
disease that has traumatized their home life.
Live fame headlined the third annual Beamer Awards,
held at the Ritz Carlton in Rancho Mirage, California,
in January. The event raised more than $1 million to
help underwrite the program. Through the generosity
of donors, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation never
turns a child away from the Children’s Program due to
inability to pay.
The affable little guy also takes center stage at the
star-studded Beamer Awards, an annual fundraising
gala benefitting the Children’s Program. Awardwinning comedian Dana Carvey of Saturday Night
In 2014, more than 1,100 children ages 7–12 took part
in the Children’s Program, which is offered in three
states: California, Colorado, and Texas.

Meet Jay and Mimi Bonds
Ten years ago, Jay and Mimi Bonds sponsored a medical
student from the University of North Texas Health
Science Center to attend the intensive, weeklong
Summer Institute for Medical Students (SIMS) program
at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California.
“Our only condition was that the medical student
share her observations with classmates when she
returned,” recalls Jay Bonds.
Turns out, the student couldn’t contain her enthusiasm.
“She returned absolutely on fire with what she had
learned about addiction and recovery at the Betty Ford
Center,” Bonds recounts. “Her classmates were extremely
moved by what she described, and I was, too.”
While primary care physicians are on the frontlines
of assessing and addressing addiction, most lack an
in-depth understanding of the disease. On average,
medical students receive only 2–10 hours of education
about addiction—a disease that strikes 1 in 10
Americans over the age of 12. The SIMS program aims
to fill that knowledge gap by placing medical students
on treatment units, alongside clinicians and patients
alike. Learning about addiction becomes a profoundly
interactive experience.
“Most primary care physicians don’t realize they
might have a person with addiction sitting in front of
them in the exam room,” explains Bonds. “And even
if they think alcoholism or other drug addiction might
be an issue for a patient, too many doctors are unsure
what to do about it,” he adds.
“Addiction carries more stigma than other deadly
diseases, so much so that death certificates show
heart attack or stroke as a person’s official cause of
death, not the fact that he drank a quart of bourbon
and smoked two packs of cigarettes every day,” says
Bonds. “We can make great strides against addiction
Through the generous giving of Jay and Mimi Bonds and other
like-minded donors, a new generation of physicians and other
caring professionals stands ready to address addiction.
Since 2009, Jay and Mimi Bonds have been instrumental
in underwriting SIMS program participation for more
than 130 medical students and faculty members from
the University of North Texas Health Science Center
and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. The
couple wants to make sure primary care physicians are
well versed in the dynamics of addiction as a disease
and well prepared to provide patients with the mosteffective help—which often begins with a difficult but
necessary conversation in the doctor’s office.
by simply preparing physicians to talk candidly and
compassionately with patients about symptoms,
behaviors, and concerns,” Bonds adds.
Medical students who participate in the summer
institute often describe it as “a life-changing
experience.” For Jay and Mimi Bonds, the lifechanging experiences of medical students today are
the best investment in lifesaving care for tomorrow.
Up close and personal
Professional education programs put a face on the disease of addiction
The earliest leaders of the Hazelden Betty Ford
Foundation believed there were too many people
suffering with addiction to keep our institutional
knowledge and experience to ourselves. That’s why
the Foundation’s doors have always been open to
students, treatment providers, and other professionals
for education and collaboration—powerful learning
experiences made possible through donor support.
In 2014, 112 medical students participated in the
Summer Institute for Medical Students (SIMS) program
at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California.
8 ▪ HazeldenBettyFord.org
In addition, the Foundation offered a two-week
rotation on addiction for family medicine residents at
our campuses in Minnesota and California, and a oneyear accredited Addiction Medicine Fellowship at the
Betty Ford Center in California.
Through our Professionals in Residence (PIR) programs,
health care providers, social workers, clergy members,
and other visiting professionals gain an up-close look
at the challenges of addiction and the effectiveness of
treatment as well. In 2014, more than 500 participants
enrolled in our PIR and Medical Education programs.
Life-Changing Lessons
for Medical Students

The importance
of being there
Zach Levin is part of a selfless community where no one
stands alone against addiction
10 ▪ HazeldenBettyFord.org
Meet Zach Levin
When Zach Levin began working as an on-call
chemical dependency technician at Hazelden’s
sober residence in Chicago three years ago, he was
frequently assigned the midnight to 8:00 a.m. shift.
“Those of us in recovery will tell you that getting sober
is relatively easy compared with staying sober,” he
says. “A key to lasting sobriety and healthy recovery is
letting someone else in on your struggles.”
It was Levin’s introduction to a culture he describes
as “dedicated entirely to improving people’s lives”—
where treating addiction is, quite literally, an aroundthe-clock, all out endeavor.
As a sober coach, Levin knows he’s making progress
when clients tell him about how they’re coping with
a problem by calling their sponsor or confiding in a
sober friend or somehow utilizing their new network
of recovery support.
“Hazelden is a place of compassion, where there’s no
such thing as ‘I’m too busy to help you right now,’”
Levin explains. “It’s a place where people receive
the help they need. It’s a place where people feel
understood and respected.”
Better together
Today, in his work as a sober coach at Hazelden, Levin
counsels men and women during primary treatment
and throughout their subsequent 3–18 months of
continuing care. Personally and professionally,
through his own hard-won sobriety at age 17, his
volunteer recovery activities and advocacy, and his
career in counseling others, Levin recognizes the
importance of community in sustaining recovery.
Levin sees many former patients return to Hazelden
as grateful alumni, wanting to stay connected and give
back to the community where they found new life
in recovery. Every week, Hazelden in Chicago draws
hundreds of alumni and friends for the 38 different
Twelve Step meetings that take place on-site.
“We have a huge and active alumni base,” says Levin.
“Our alumni feel inspired to be involved, to be of
service, and to help carry the message.”
Through donor support, alumni involvement, and staff members
such as Zach Levin who also give back by volunteering their
time, Hazelden in Chicago serves as a vibrant hub of recovery
support and activity.
“Living in recovery doesn’t mean all of your problems
go away,” Levin says. “Serenity is not the absence
of conflict; it’s the ability to work through your
challenges without isolating yourself and falling back
into unhealthy behaviors.”
From employees to patients to alumni to family and
friends, a spirit of selflessness permeates the culture
of Hazelden in Chicago.
“We look out for one another,” Levin says. “We’re there
for each other, and it shows.”
All together now
Chicago-area alumni celebrate unity and growth
This June, alumni of Hazelden and alumni of the
Betty Ford Center from the Chicago area gathered
for a first-ever combined event, a BBQ held in the
courtyard of Hazelden’s stately Gold Coast property.
At an all-are-welcome alumni meeting following
the festivities, volunteers assembled to plan future
events and activities. They will be busy, says Ramsen
Kasha, executive director of Hazelden in Chicago,
who outlined program expansions underway at that
location in 2015, including:
•T
argeted treatment and recovery services for
adolescents and young adults
• Special focus treatment programming for
professionals
• Increased mental health services
“We’re looking forward to reaching out with healing
and hope to more people and in new ways in 2015,”
says Kasha. “Thanks to the enthusiasm of our alumni,
staff, donors, and friends, we’re home to a vibrant and
growing recovery community.”
Hazelden in Chicago is a lively center of recovery
support and activities, with 38 different Twelve Step
meetings held on-site each week.

Meet Mary Allen
Mary Allen’s first trip to the Dan Anderson Renewal
Center took place 25 years ago, when she was new
to recovery and struggling mightily with emotional
challenges that often come with the territory.
Although she wasn’t familiar with the Renewal
Center, Allen overheard a woman at a Twelfth Step
meeting describe her recent weeklong recovery
retreat as “life-changing.”
The words caught Allen’s attention. Could this be what
she needed?
journey ever since, including a turning-point moment
while out for a walk in the surrounding woods. It was
a chilly fall day, and Allen was hiking alone. Feelings
of anxiety and dread weighed heavily. At one point,
she realized she’d stopped in her tracks. Looking out
at the trees and lake before her, she cried out, asking
for strength.
Time and time again through the years, Allen has
returned to the Renewal Center and to its woodland
trails. This unknown destination of her searching, early
recovery has become Allen’s “sacred retreat.” Twelve
Step–based presentations, individual sessions, alumni
lectures, wonderful meals, fellowship, and plenty of
personal time for reflection are all part of the Renewal
Center’s rich and relaxed hospitality.
In short order, Allen arranged care for her children
and drove six hours to Hazelden’s campus in Center
City, Minnesota, filled with cautious optimism that
she wasn’t chasing after false hope.
Through her inspired and enduring generosity, Mary Allen
ensures others will find the renewal and support they need
throughout their recovery journey.
“I knew I’d made the right decision as soon as I walked
through the front doors of the Renewal Center,” Allen
recalls. “I was welcomed with open arms, by people
who understood my pain. I felt an immediate sense of
security and belonging. This was where I needed to be.”
“I had an awakening, a spiritual reconnection,” Allen
recounts. “I felt deep solace and comfort all alone on
that trail, embraced by the beautiful surroundings.”
Experiencing nature’s embrace
During her initial stay at the Renewal Center, Allen
made discoveries that have enhanced her recovery
The encounter led Allen to recognize that being
outdoors, amidst the hum and splendor of nature, is
where she—in her words—finds her “best self.”
“Where else can one find such resources to nourish the
mind, body, and spirit—all in one place?” Allen asks.
In deciding to make a legacy gift in support of the
Renewal Center, Mary Allen has safeguarded this
singular, transformative retreat for recovery’s next
generation.
Be transformed. Again.
The importance of renewal in ongoing recovery
12 ▪ HazeldenBettyFord.org
As anyone who’s been through addiction treatment
knows, recovery is an ongoing process of
transformation, a new way of living that takes practice
and attention.
Center is a haven for Twelve Step recovery support
and contemplation. Guests rediscover their recovery
through weekend retreats and the year-round Lodge
Program.
From recovery retreats and structured support
programs to social networks, mobile apps, and
e-books—and through the generous support of
donors—the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation makes it
easy for alumni and friends to find answers and help,
wherever their recovery journey may lead.
“We see guests who are transitioning from treatment
to home, working to reinvigorate recovery during
difficult times, seeking a more meaningful recovery
experience, or celebrating a recovery milestone,”
says Janelle Wesloh, executive director of Recovery
Management. “We help guests find the inspiration
they need to keep moving forward and thrive in their
recovery journey.”
