Twelve Step Retreats

As this unprecedented time in our lives continues to unfold, Hazelden Betty Ford is monitoring the COVID-19 health crisis very closely and implementing new strategies, protocols and procedures to minimize risks, reach people in new ways and continue providing high-quality, lifesaving addiction treatment and education.

In our continued efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, beginning at the end of day Friday, March 27, we will be temporarily suspending the daily Lodge program and weekend retreats at the Dan Anderson Renewal Center through the end of May 2020. We will re-evaluate this as the COVID-19 health crisis evolves. Please visit the website for updates and to check out the free support and online resources. Be well.

Wherever You Are on Your Recovery Journey, Welcome.

Stay connected with the freedom and joy of recovery at the Dan Anderson Renewal Center.

What's calling you?

Based on your Twelve Step experience and current situation, Renewal Center staff will help you determine retreats and other programming to best fit your needs.

From grief and forgiveness to meditation practices to relapse prevention, our topic-specific recovery retreats typically begin on Friday evening and end at noon on Sunday.

“This place is filled with grace. Step off the world for a while and soak it in. You'll be grateful you did."
