Addiction Treatment Partnership

You are not alone. An extraordinary number of people are seeking addiction treatment for the first time or are relapsing as a result of the stress, anxiety, and social isolation that comes with the COVID-19 pandemic. Professional athletes and their families aren’t immune – addiction is a disease impacting people of all walks of life.

No one understands that better than Derek Price, Desert Hope Treatment Center’s CEO and former tight end for the Detroit Lions. Every day he helps people transform their lives by providing a path to recovery. That’s why Desert Hope has teamed up with the NFL Alumni Association to provide discrete addiction treatment to NFL alumni and their family members.

Please be assured that your privacy and confidentiality will be honored at all times.
