Bob ForrestHOST
No, it's serious.
Bob ForrestHOST
It's time to get down to brass tacks like ASAP used to, like Cry Help does, like Impact does, like Hazelden did.
ChuckHOST
I do love that when somebody will come in and I'll go, okay, man, so I'm glad you made it back here.
ChuckHOST
I'm glad you didn't die.
TiffanyGUEST
And so I think it was, it was October of 2021, and I hadn't, you know, hadn't been drinking, but the Xanax became a problem really quickly, and I knew I needed help with the trauma, and my sister suggested the treatment facility she had gone to, um, a couple of years prior.
TiffanyGUEST
And so I went to Hazelden Betty Ford in Newber- Newberg, Oregon.
Kevin LanningHOST
Mm.
TiffanyGUEST
Um, and the thing I was most excited about was they had a three-day trauma workshop, and I was just, from the second I got there, that's, "This is what I wanna do." And you have to have a certain number of days in to be allowed to participate, and they had one coming up like that fell right around the time I would've, you know, been ready to do it.
Rachel UchitelHOST
Yeah
Ann Marie FarinoGUEST
... and we asked if he could leave the state to go to Hazelden in Minnesota.
Ann Marie FarinoGUEST
It's a place I always wanted him to go.
Ann Marie FarinoGUEST
And the judge offered him an e- there's an eight-month rehabilitation program in Chicago.
RajeshGUEST
Everything.
RajeshGUEST
And she said, "You might need to go to Hazelden." I said, "No.
RajeshGUEST
No. Me? No." She goes, "Why don't you call them up and tell them everything you just told me, and then see what they say?" Um, I did go to Hazelden.
RajeshGUEST
But before that, I went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
RajeshGUEST
And at that meeting, I had an out-of-body experience where they asked if there was anyone new here.
RajeshGUEST
I feel like the guy who's, like, won the jackpot of giving an AA talk because, like, I'm, like, basically sober, and I've still got fifteen minutes to go.
speaker_6UNKNOWN
[laughing]
RajeshGUEST
Uh, so, so I went to Hazelden, and did you know that if you check into a treatment center, you don't have to check in sober? That was totally news to me.
Chris HawkeyHOST
I was asking questions as well during that break.
Chris HawkeyHOST
I should have been getting ready for my Hazelden Betty Ford spot, so I remembered the phone number, but instead I was asking Zach very odd questions.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Oh.
Chris HawkeyHOST
But there are questions I wanted to ask, and I can't do it person to person, so I have to go on social media to do it.
Patrick KrillGUEST
So thank you both for the invitation to be here, and I'm really pleased to be talking about this research because it's been y- a very large undertaking, a labor of love, but I think that it offers a lot of very valuable information and, and numerous insights for the profession.
Patrick KrillGUEST
So as you noted, it was intended to be a 10-year update to the 2016 ABA Hazelden Betty Ford study, which at the time, that was the largest national, and it was the first national study of, of lawyer mental health and substance use and wellbeing.
Patrick KrillGUEST
As we all know, the world's changed a lot in 10 years, and so we really did want to capture current data to identify anything that maybe has changed, improved, or worsened, but also to improve upon the methodology from that prior study.
Patrick KrillGUEST
So when we did that research, it was conducted in 2015, published in 2016, we did the best we could in achieving a sample that was intended to look like the profession.

Patrick KrillGUEST
Well, I think the work that LAPS, Lawyer Assistance Programs, do around the country is vitally important, and it is such an integral part of how the profession can and should be responding to the challenges that we have around mental health and wellbeing.
Patrick KrillGUEST
Um, it's no exaggeration or overstatement to say that lawyer assistance programs save lives, and they're there often as a safe harbor or some sort of life-saving resource for lawyers who really are in distress.
Patrick KrillGUEST
Um, and so I've had the opportunity and the pleasure of working and collaborating with lawyer assistance programs, you know, predating what I do now, going back to the, to my time at Hazelden Betty Ford when I used to direct a treatment program there for legal professionals.
Patrick KrillGUEST
And so I've seen the work that you do up close and personal, and I just think it's, I think it's essential.
Dave AndersonHOST
Yeah
Molly Jong-FastGUEST
... went to Hazelden, to the young adult in-
Dave AndersonHOST
Yeah
Molly Jong-FastGUEST
... actually, I went to the adult inpatient at Center City, but I was 19, so I was, like, one of the youngest people there.
Matt GraceGUEST
I'm, uh...
Matt GraceGUEST
Listen, if you wanna stop using, you can get sober at the Salvation Army or you can get sober at Hazelden, right? And, and so one of the things that I'm really passionate about is that there's a message, "Oh, well, you should leave your hometown and go to a new environment." Well, most people can't just pick up.
Matt GraceGUEST
They have one or two jobs, right?
PeteHOST
Mm-hmm.
Rachel Kerr SchneiderGUEST
Try to find a rehab that will handle a young person.
Rachel Kerr SchneiderGUEST
You know, and we lived in Minnesota where Hazelden, that's the heartland of rehab, right? Everybody knows about Hazelden.
Rachel Kerr SchneiderGUEST
We did inpatient.
Rachel Kerr SchneiderGUEST
We did outpatient.
BillHOST
And when, which was my revelation, when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
BillHOST
And then there's a, the thing that I pulled up here has a, just a short paragraph from Hazelden.
BillHOST
It's in, it's an ongoing daily practice of self-reflection, emotional accountability, and quick correction designed to protect your recovery progress, which I thought that's kind of interesting.
BillHOST
I mean, there's, there's all different definitions of how it can, or further definitions of what, what it could be.
