THE MEADOWS HONORS JOHN BRADSHAW FOR A LIFETIME OF WORK IN THE FIELDS OF ADDICTION AND RECOVERY.
On January 22, 2011, The Meadows, America’s premier center for the treatment of addiction and trauma, honored senior fellow John Bradshaw by dedicating a lecture hall in his name. Panels lining the walls of the John Bradshaw Lecture Hall illustrate the important contributions made by this extraordinary individual to the fields of addiction, trauma and family systems.
Leading the dedication ceremony was The Meadows CEO, Jim Dredge, who said, “John Bradshaw has touched the lives of millions of people around the world through his ground-breaking work and teachings. We are honored to have him as a colleague…and to know him as a friend.”
After the dedication Mr. Bradshaw, surrounded by The Meadows staff, guests and patients shared stories of his own personal journey in recovery.
John Bradshaw is a celebrated educator, counselor, motivational speaker, theologian, author and one of the leading figures in the fields of addiction, recovery, family systems and the concept of toxic shame. He was recently selected by his peers as one of the “100 most influential writers on emotional health in the 20th Century.” Over the years, Mr. Bradshaw has written several New York Times bestselling books, including, “Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child,” “Creating Love” and “Healing The Shame
That Binds You.”
Mr. Bradshaw has been closely associated with The Meadows for over 10 years, giving insights to patients, speaking at alumni retreats and lecturing to mental health professionals at their numerous workshops and seminars.
The Meadows, with treatment centers in Arizona and Texas, has been an innovator and leader in the fields of addiction and trauma treatment since 1976.

Thirty-five years ago an idea was born—an idea to transform the way addictions were treated—an idea to create a revolutionary new therapeutic model that incorporated trauma resolution, 12-step traditions and the holistic healing of mind, body and spirit. That idea took shape as a small alcohol treatment facility for only seven patients, but quickly grew into what it is today—America’s premier center for the treatment of addiction and trauma with over 18,000 patients from around the world. Over the years, The Meadows has had an enormous impact on mental health industry, training thousands of therapists and treatment providers on the Meadows Model—widely accepted as one of the most advanced and effective methods of treating addiction and trauma. On this, our 35th anniversary year, The Meadows wishes to take time out to salute all the talented and dedicated people who helped make that idea a reality.
