“We stand ready to help the people, families and communities of Montana affected by addiction concerns,” said Hazelden Betty Ford President and CEO Mark Mishek. “Our virtual care and other telehealth resources and services are proving to be effective and convenient, and have enabled us to expand access to help as substance use concerns soar amid the pandemic.”
Sandra Collins-Jackson, a licensed professional counselor in Kodiak, spent years standing up for Kodiakâs most vulnerable residents. Now, the coronavirus pandemic has given her an opportunity to help her community in a different way.Â
After the virus reached Kodiak last year, she began to research complicated, ever-changing COVID-19 information and post her findings on social media. She pored over medical journals and listened to Gov. Mike Dunleavyâs daily briefings, and shared her findings on Facebook.Â
Collins-Jackson knew that many people who worked full time and were raising families had limited hours in a day to parse COVID-19 information, which changed day by day.Â

Talk to anyone who works with those who are battling addiction and they will tell you that only through understanding all of the unique circumstances someone faces can you determine which treatment methods have the best chance of leading to long-term sobriety and health.
The renowned Minnesota based Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation has taken that approach in treating its patients, but recently its leaders realized they had not applied that same thinking to the hundreds of thousands of patient records accumulated at its facilities over the years.
To do that, they turned to the Carlson School’s Analytics Lab. During a semester-long project, a team of five Masters of Business Analytics students used artificial intelligence to analyze more than 250,000 records in search of data patterns.
