Why Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Stands Out
Comprehensive Treatment
Hazelden Betty Ford offers a range of tailored treatment options, including residential care, outpatient programs, and specialized services for professionals and young adults. Our evidence-based treatments are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual, maximizing the chances of successful recovery.
Experienced and Compassionate Staff
Our team of addiction specialists, medical doctors, and licensed therapists work together to create personalized care plans. They provide emotional, psychological, and physical support throughout the recovery journey, ensuring patients receive comprehensive care.
Holistic Approach
We believe in treating the whole person, not just the addiction. Our treatment incorporates therapies such as mindfulness, exercise, nutritional counseling, and spiritual support, helping individuals regain balance and maintain sobriety long-term.

Recovery continues after treatment. Our aftercare programs, including support groups, alumni networks, and continued therapy, ensure patients have ongoing support to stay connected and prevent relapse.
Effective Alcohol Treatment Methods at Hazelden Betty Ford
Residential Treatment
For those who need intensive, 24/7 support, residential treatment provides a safe, structured environment where patients can focus entirely on their recovery. This program includes group therapy, individual counseling, and holistic treatments.
Outpatient Programs
Our outpatient services allow individuals to continue working or attending school while receiving treatment. Patients participate in therapy sessions during the day or evening, ensuring flexibility while still receiving essential care.
12-Step Programs
Incorporating the 12-step philosophy, Hazelden Betty Ford encourages patients to work through the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), building accountability, support, and a strong recovery community.
Mindfulness and Holistic Therapies
We integrate mindfulness-based therapies to help individuals manage cravings and stress. Practices like yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises provide valuable tools for emotional regulation and relapse prevention.
