Family Integration at Every Step

 

Recovery works best when families are part of the journey. Hazelden Betty Ford actively involves parents and caregivers throughout treatment with regular family meetings, education, support, and opportunities to strengthen communication and relationships. Whether your child is an adolescent or an emerging adult, our team helps families understand the recovery process, address challenges together, and build the skills needed to support long-term healing well beyond treatment. 

Emphasis on Mental Health

 

Substance use and mental health are often deeply connected, which is why our Center for Teens and Young Adults integrates mental health care into every stage of treatment. Patients receive support for challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationships, and self-esteem alongside addiction treatment. Through evidence-based therapies, mindfulness practices, and skill-building groups, young people learn healthier ways to cope, communicate, and thrive in everyday life. 

Full Continuum of Care

 

Recovery is a journey, not a single event. Hazelden Betty Ford offers a full continuum of care that supports young people through every stage of treatment and recovery, from intensive residential services to outpatient care and ongoing support. This seamless approach allows patients to transition between levels of care as their needs change, while maintaining continuity with a team that understands their goals, progress, and long-term recovery plan. 

More Resources

Whether you're exploring insurance coverage, treatment options, or admissions steps, you'll find the information you need to feel confident seeking care for yourself or a loved one at Hazelden Betty Ford.

What to Expect

Step 1: It Starts with a Phone Call

If you're concerned about your own alcohol or drug use—or worried about a loved one—your first step is a free, confidential phone call with one of our caring patient access coordinators. We'll help you understand what's going on and what support options are available.

Step 2: Understanding Your Needs

During your initial call, we'll determine if a more in-depth assessment is needed. If so, we'll schedule a substance use or mental health evaluation with a Hazelden Betty Ford clinician or refer you to trusted providers in your area. We also check insurance during this step, verifying whether your insurance is in network or out of network.

Step 3: Assessment and Recommendations

Through various assessments, we gather important details about your health history and current symptoms. This helps us determine an initial level-of-care recommendation based on your individual needs. With your permission, we may also speak with your healthcare providers or family members to better understand your situation. We will never contact anyone without your explicit consent.

Step 4: Financial Advocate

If treatment is recommended, you will be paired with a financial advocate who will work directly with your insurance provider. Hazelden Betty Ford is in-network with most major insurers (excluding Medicare and Medicaid). Your advocate will explain your benefits and any out-of-pocket costs.

To help with any out-of-pocket expenses, we offer internal financing options, as well as longer term payment plans through ClearBalance, our patient financing partner.

Step 5: Starting Treatment

We will work with you to schedule your admission date and guide you through the intake process.

  • Intake for residential treatment: You will start by completing paperwork, touring the facility, and beginning care in our medical detox unit to ensure your comfort and safety. Then, you will transition to your treatment unit and meet your care team.
  • Intake for outpatient treatment: You will receive a personalized schedule and complete intake paperwork. If you choose to stay on-site, we'll help you get settled. For virtual services, we'll walk you through the platform setup.
  • Integration of mental health services: If your treatment plan includes mental health services, your care may involve:
    • Individual and group therapy
    • Behavioral assessments
    • Medication coordination
    • Family or couples' therapy
    • Educational resources and referrals
    • Adolescent screening and early intervention (if applicable)
