Inpatient Mental Health & Addiction Recovery

Donation protected
Hello friends, family, and brothers of Delta Tau Delta from Ball State,

Today, we come together for a cause that is both urgent and close to our hearts. Eric DeRolf, a beloved friend, brother, and family member, has been battling severe depression and bipolar disorder for over two decades. His journey has been one of resilience and struggle, as he has tried to manage his condition through many years of psychiatric medicine and recently turned to self-medication, using opiates, marijuana, and alcohol to survive. But now, Eric is ready to take a significant step towards healing and recovery.


Eric has made the brave decision to seek professional help and is preparing to enter the Alternative to Meds Center, a renowned inpatient facility specializing in detox and recovery from medication dependency. This facility located in Sedona, AZ offers a holistic approach to treatment, focusing on underlying issues and sustainable recovery methods.



The road to recovery is not just challenging but also costly. The expenses for treatment at Alternative to Meds Center are substantial (approx $35k a month for 3 months), and unfortunately, not fully covered by insurance. This is where we need your support. We are reaching out to you - Eric's family, friends, and fraternity brothers - to help him in this critical phase of his life.

Your donations will directly contribute to covering the costs of Eric's treatment, including medical care, therapy, accommodation, and other necessary support services during his stay at the facility. No amount is too small, and every contribution brings Eric one step closer to a healthier, happier life.

This is more than just a fundraiser; it's a lifeline for Eric, a chance for him to break free from the chains of addiction and mental health struggles, to rediscover his true self, and to live the life he deserves.

We believe in the power of community, in the strength of coming together for a common cause. Let's show Eric that he is not alone in this fight. Your generosity can make a real difference in his life.

Please donate and share this page with others who know and care for Eric. Together, we can help him embark on this courageous journey towards healing and recovery.
