Hazelden Teams Up With Rebuild Resources to Support the Livelihoods of Individuals in Recovery

CENTER CITY, MN, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Recovery-theme apparel and gift items produced by the St. Paul based
not-for-profit enterprise, Rebuild Resources, will now be available to
consumers nationwide through Hazelden's online bookstore and popular
catalogs. Hazelden is the world's leading publisher of addiction recovery
resources.

Rebuild Resources provides meaningful, transitional employment for men and
women who want to become sober, self-sufficient, and of service.
Hazelden's online bookstore, www.hazelden.org/bookstore, and catalogs,
provide books, gifts, and other resources that inform, inspire, and
strengthen lifelong recovery from the disease of addiction.

The agreement between Hazelden's publishing division and Rebuild Resources
is described as a natural fit by Nick Motu, senior vice president and
chief operating officer of Hazelden: "Hazelden helps people reclaim their
lives from the disease of addiction through treatment services, publishing
resources, education, research, and advocacy. Our mission is to guide and
support people on the path to lifelong recovery, and having gainful
employment is a very real and important part of that journey."

Student employees at Rebuild Resources stabilize their lives and gain
tangible skills needed to bring value to prospective employers. Rebuild
Resources then helps each person secure a permanent job which creates room
for the next candidate.

All products designed exclusively by Rebuild Resources will be clearly
identified by their logo in Hazelden's online store and catalogs.

As part of the affiliation, Rebuild Resources will also join Hazelden's
Partners Program, linking customers of their online store,

Doubly connected

Hazelden's Fellowship Club in St. Paul, Minn., a transitional living
program for men and women in early recovery, has a longstanding
relationship with Rebuild Resources. For a number of years, Fellowship
Club residents have participated in employment training and job placement
through Rebuild Resources, which has led, in many cases, to long-term jobs
with livable wages in the Twin Cities. The Twelve Step philosophy and
supportive work environment of Rebuild Resources reinforce important
recovery principles and practices for Fellowship Club residents in
transitioning into their newly sober lives.
