THE PREEMINENT MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT PROGRAMS FOR ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS

JAMIE HAZELTON

Executive Vice President

As Executive Vice President, Jamie oversees daily operations and spearheads the effort to build bridges between Turnbridge and other high quality treatment programs across the country. Maintaining close ties with other centers gives Turnbridge two distinct advantages. First, knowing the people, philosophies, and practices of other centers makes the process of integrating new residents from these centers smoother and easier. Second, by understanding the specialties of other centers, it allows Turnbridge to recommend the best care option when Turnbridge may not be their best solution. Jamie has helped hundreds of families navigate the difficult road of choosing a treatment program that best suits their loved one’s needs.

Himself a Turnbridge graduate, Jamie offers a compassionate ear and first-hand knowledge of the Turnbridge program and its unique benefits. Before joining Turnbridge, Jamie attended college for nursing, and has extensive experience caring for people in need including his work with veterans for the American Red Cross. Jamie continues to live his passion for helping others as a Turnbridge Leader.

Admissions Manager

Matthew understands that a call to Turnbridge often means a family is in crisis. As Admissions Manager, Matt’s primary goal is to offer a calming presence and clear direction to families during these difficult moments. In addition to his direct work with families, Matt supervises a team of admissions and intake coordinators and oversees the logistical aspects of the enrollment process, from insurance verification to physical admission.  As a certified recovery coach, Matt understands there are multiple pathways to recovery and truly believes that a young person’s journey towards wellness is a personal one that requires a multi-disciplinary approach.

Matt graduated from Temple University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts and subsequently worked as a legal assistant for a criminal defense attorney.  He went on to hold several different positions within the Pennsylvania judicial system.

Matthew has been a part of the Turnbridge family since early 2014 when he entered the Turnbridge Young Men’s Program as a client. Upon completing the Turnbridge program, Matt was hired as a support staff member and eventually went on to become a Case Manager. He has grown tremendously, both professionally and personally, since that time and is forever grateful for the support of the people at Turnbridge that work tirelessly to help young adults and adolescents build a life worth protecting.

Matt is a doting father and fiancé. During his free time, Matt enjoys playing baseball, softball, and taking weekend trips to visit his family at the Jersey Shore.
