"The Haven at College" Joins Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's Innovative Patient Care Network

"We know that longer-term engagement with recovery services and opportunities to learn and build life skills are keys to successful recovery from addiction to opioids, alcohol and other drugs," said Bob Poznanovich, executive director of business development for the national nonprofit addiction treatment provider Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. "The Haven at College shares our strong commitment to addressing the addiction crisis, and our new clinical collaboration will help provide the critical combination of care and education to many more young people across this country."

"The Haven at College has deeply valued the collaboration we've had with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in the past in developing innovative solutions to address substance use disorders on college campuses" said Sharon Weber, co-founder of The Haven at College. "We are honored to be part of this leading-edge network of healthcare providers who are as passionate as we are about helping individuals reclaim their lives from the disease of addiction."

Members of the Hazelden Betty Ford Patient Care Network like The Haven at College gain access to tools, resources and collaborative consultation for their organization's leadership, staff, patients, families and communities.
