Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, Charlotte Johnson of the Otto Bremer Trust is in charge of overseeing the trust's investment in the Bremer Financial Corporation. Charlotte Johnson’s trusteeship of the Otto Bremer Trust emphasizes strong community support.
On a mission to improve the quality of life for families and communities affected by alcohol and drugs, the Otto Bremer Trust recently granted $250,000 to The Retreat in Wayzata, Minnesota. Based on the 12 principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, The Retreat was established more than 17 years ago to offer affordable educational services for people addicted to alcohol or drugs. The Retreat offers a residential recovery continuum with 30-, 60-, and 90-day programs alongside nonresidential family and seniors programs.
As the cost of health care continues to rise, access to alcohol and drug dependency programs in Minnesota is limited. From 2009 to 2013, recovery centers in the state provided alcohol abuse treatment to an estimated 20,000 people per year, making up 6.25% of the total alcohol dependents in the state. In the same period, these centers provided illicit drug use treatment to an estimated 17,000 people per year, making up about 13.7% of the total drug dependents in the state.
