Hazelden, among the planet’s biggest and most recognized independent, nonprofit alcohol and drug addiction treatment centers, announced today that it’s going to enlarge it’s out-patient drug addiction treatment and psychological medical treatment offerings to Chaska, Minnesota, in a drug rehab center that will assist adults along with youth as early as 12.

“Addiction affects people of all ages, and Hazelden understands the growing need for outpatient treatment for busy families,” says Mark G. Mishek, president and CEO of Hazelden. “In addition to expanding services for adults, Hazelden is reaching out like never before to young people. We don’t want them missing out on the good stuff of growing up: being with friends they can count on, figuring out what they’re good at and achieving their academic goals.”

Hazelden in Chaska is likely to throw open its doors to adults about March one, and to youth on April one. The center is located within the 3rd floor of the Hazeltine Gates building, 1107 Hazeltine Blvd., having very easy access from Highways 212 and 41. The 5,400-square-foot alcohol treatment center features separate areas for youths and older people, including a get together area for younger people that helps bring about peer connection and kinetic learning.
