Hazelden's Health Care Professionals Program, offered at its Springbrook facility in Newberg, Oregon, is designed specifically to help health care professionals recover from addiction and regain their lives. Teams of experienced medical and clinical professionals develop treatment plans based on the unique recovery needs of each patient.

The Health Care Professionals Program includes:

• Group sessions on topics related to recovery.
• Peer-to-peer interaction as a critical component of the recovery process.
• A focus on the prevention of relapse.
• Tips for re-entry into the workplace after treatment.
• One-on-one sessions with health care professionals who are in recovery.
• Lectures on scientific and medical aspects of alcoholism and drug dependency and much more.

Clinically integrated, collaborative care

It starts with an evaluation
For many, the treatment experience begins with Hazelden's comprehensive residential evaluation. The evaluation takes place over three days on our campus. Health professionals undergo an evaluation and diagnosis, complete medical assessment and examination, psychological assessment, drug and alcohol assessment, spiritual assessment, and psychiatric assessment. At its conclusion, we discuss our recommendations with the patient, referent, and family as appropriate.

Residential treatment
Hazelden's program for health care professionals incorporates many services: group therapy, mental health, spiritual, family, and individual counseling. Through ongoing sessions with the program physician and clinical staff, patients address issues related to professional licensure, employment status, professional practice, and participation in formalized health care monitoring programs.

Toward lifelong recovery
Along with our extended care program, our patients also benefit from Hazelden's interactive online My Ongoing Recovery Experience (MORE®) program through which patients stay connected with Hazelden for the first 18 months of recovery and participate in online educational modules, assessments, and regular contact by a licensed counselor "coach" to continue progress made in treatment.

Regaining your professional status
Hazelden has longstanding relationships with diversion, well-being, and monitoring programs as well as other experts who provide resources to recovering health care professionals. From admission and assessment through treatment and continuing care, Hazelden staff work closely with these agencies. Following their treatment, we refer licensed professionals to the appropriate monitoring program for ongoing support.
