Schick Shadel Hospital
Schick Shadel Hospital is an addiction treatment hospital that uses a counter-conditioning technique called aversion therapy. It is the only hospital currently in operation in the U.S. that uses Aversion Therapy.
History[edit]
In 1935, Charles Shadel turned his colonial mansion in Seattle into the Shadel Sanatorium where he began treating alcoholics for their substance use disorder.[1] The hospital was launched with the help of gastroenterologist Walter Voegtlin and psychiatrist Fred Lemere. Together, they created a medical practice that exclusively treated chronic alcoholism through Pavlovian conditioned reflex aversion therapy.[2]
