Holon Health, a primary care and psychiatry provider that bridges gaps in care for people with substance use disorder (SUD) and/or mental health conditions, announced that West Huddleston — one of the nation’s top leaders in justice reform and behavioral health — has joined its leadership team as the Chief Growth Officer.

With more than three decades of leadership at the intersection of public safety, justice, and behavioral health, Huddleston has authored over 35 prominent works, served as a keynote speaker at national justice events, testified before the U.S. Congress, state legislators, and international parliaments, executive produced the documentary, 25 Years of Drug Court: The Beginning, and played a key role in developing the modern treatment court movement. Also featured on NPR, CNN, C-SPAN, and in The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today, West’s contributions resulted in his induction to the Judge Stanley Goldstein Drug Court Hall of Fame at the 2015 NADCP Conference alongside other honors including the White House ONDCP Director’s Award, U.S. Congressional Horizon Award, AATOD Friend of the Field Award, and America Honors Recovery Award.

“West Huddleston’s life’s work has shaped national policy and created new pathways to health and justice for Americans,” said Jason Herzog, Holon Health’s CEO, “His exemplary track record of driving change across the justice system is exactly the bold leadership Holon needs.”

Huddleston most recently served as an executive at SCRAM Systems, before that serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (AllRise) from 2006-2015, where he transformed the organization into the world’s largest justice and behavioral health trade association. While tenured, he also founded and served as the Executive Director of Justice for Vets, the nation’s only organization focused solely on justice-involved veterans. From 1998-2006, he was the founding Director of NADCP’s National Drug Court Institute.

“I sought out Holon Health due to their innovative approach to physical, mental, and behavioral healthcare for those involved in the justice system–a forward-thinking approach that’s long overdue, with remarkable results including improved client engagement, increased sober days, and decreased recidivism and unnecessary ER visits,” West Huddleston shared. “This team understands that health equity depends on dismantling the silos between whole-health and justice, and I’m honored to help lead that work.”

In addition to his new role at Holon, Huddleston continues to serve on the Advisory Board of the Division on Addiction at Harvard Medical School and chairs the board of WarriorNow, a nonprofit supporting justice-involved veterans.

With Huddleston’s leadership, Holon Health is poised to accelerate its impact, expanding to several states in the next 6 months, furthering the commitment to innovative healthcare services, justice-system support, and hope for communities across America.
