  National survey reveals bias against recovering alcoholics and addicts
According to a national survey by the Hazelden Foundation, the majority of Americans say they accept alcoholism as a disease (79 percent); yet when presented with a practical situation, many people reveal a bias against the recovering alcoholic or addict.
Hazelden has been waging this battle against public opinion for 50 years, and while great strides have been made, there is clearly more work to be done.
In fact, when the Hazelden survey results are compared with previous national Gallup polls, the percentage of people who think alcoholism is a disease has decreased over the past decade.

 Saying Yes to Drugs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Great Coffee Debate at the Hazelden Foundation, in Canter City, Minnesota, was the type of controversy that is dear to historians, a seemingly trivial event that illuminates larger issues and trends.
The models for the arduous transformation of self that Hazelden demands are the counselors, most of whom are recovering addicts themselves, and former Hazelden patients who return to Center City in the evenings to talk to the current residents.
One reason that Hazelden may find it difficult to accommodate the new drugs that people like Alan Leshner claim will revolutionize the treatment of addiction is that the AA philosophy fervently rejects the idea of a "cure." Addicts are always "recovering," or "in recovery," regardless of how many years of sobriety they have attained.
