Your Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Experts

We understand that you want the best for your child and your family. We do too. Your teen's health and well-being are at the heart of everything we do at Hazelden Betty Ford:

• Age-Specific Programs - With separate, specialized tracks for teens (ages 12-18) and emerging adults (ages 18-15), our treatment programs provide the most relatable, relevant content along with the opportunity to learn, grow and form relationships with others in similar situations. This strong peer connection helps teens build an important post-treatment support network.
• Highly Specialized Expertise – Our psychiatrists, therapists and counselors are specifically licensed, credentialed and trained in adolescent behavioral health
• Family Focus – Family involvement and frequent touchpoints are built into our care because we see your collaboration as integral to the treatment/healing process
• Personalized Approach – We develop a treatment plan for each patient, addressing their unique challenges, strengths and goals and the underlying causes of their mental health/substance use issues
• Safe and Supportive  – We're a tight-knit community where everyone is seen,  heard and called by name. Our facilities and amenities are designed to foster a sense of belonging, encourage positive change and support personal growth and healing
• Evidence-Based Practices – We use only evidence-based therapies that have been proven effective in helping teens/young adults

Absolutely. We've built family participation/frequent touchpoints into our treatment approach because we see family communication and relationships as central to the healing process—during and after treatment.

We're here to help you and your whole family work through things together. Rebuild trust, communicate more effectively and strengthen your relationships with one another through:

• In-person and virtual family programs
• Support groups
• Coaching
• Mental health counseling
• Mobile app/information/resources

Families don't "cause" addiction issues or other mental health conditions, but all family members, including siblings, can be a big part of the solution. Learn more about help available for your family.

You can use nicotine/tobacco/disposable vapes if you're 18 or older.  If you're interested, we can adjust your treatment plan to incorporate nicotine cessation counseling, aids (gum, lozenges) and support groups. Our medical staff can help with nicotine withdrawal symptoms and prescribe anti-craving medication if needed.
