CENTER CITY, Minn.,
Sept. 13, 2017
/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Haven at College, which offers
on-campus addiction treatment and recovery support services at
premiere universities across the U.S., will join the Hazelden Betty
Ford Foundation's innovative new Patient Care Network.
The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation launched its Patient Care
Network—the first of its kind in the addiction treatment industry—
last month, with the highly respected Avera Health system of
South Dakota as its first
member.
"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. This is especially timely as the nation's
opioid crisis places added pressures on young people and their
families. To learn more, visit

"This collaboration is all about helping more young people
succeed and extending our experience and expertise to each other,"
said Poznanovich. "A key part of our aim with the Patient Care
Network is to share knowledge with and among our like-minded
network members, and to foster strategic collaboration
opportunities that broaden our clinical expertise and improve
patient care. We are grateful to work with The Haven on providing
recovery support in educational environments."
