The center is a nonprofit and accepts many insurance plans. They’re in network for most of the major insurance providers. Their programs are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid. They do offer limited financial assistance to those who qualify.

Their treatment programs include residential drug rehab. While in this program, you’ll receive individual and group therapy with integrated services for co-occurring disorders. There are also onsite education options that can coordinate with your home school.

You’ll participate in recreational and wellness activities. They also do special groups for learning resilience, coping skills and accountability.

The staff uses a targeted approach for opioid use disorder which incorporates the 12 Steps. This includes lectures, group and individual therapy as well as medications if necessary.

An intensive day treatment option offers a high level of outpatient care with 20 to 30 hours a week of activities and appointments. This type of care is a bridge between the inpatient and less intensive outpatient program.

Some former clients expressed frustration with the rules at the facility, but most felt the center was life saving.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient treatment varies slightly in frequency and intensity across the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, but an abstinence-based, Twelve Step approach built on evidence-based practices is core to all of our drug and alcohol rehab programs. The outpatient addiction treatment programs meet during the day or evening so the client can take care of work, family, or other responsibilities. Plus, outpatient treatment is in-network for many insurance providers, making it a readily accessible addiction rehab option.
inpatient iconInpatient
Clients typically enter inpatient rehab after they complete detox. Inpatient care is also designed for clients who are experiencing a crisis and are at an increased risk of relapse. Clients reside at the treatment center for the duration of their program. Clients engage in intensive addiction counseling, often using CBT, DBT, RBT, motivational interviewing or other proven modalities. Many inpatient rehabs offer recovery-focused life skills training. Evidence-based complementary therapies, such as meditation and yoga, may be included.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
With flexible daytime or evening scheduling, their Intensive Outpatient Programs usually meet four times a week for three-hour sessions, but decreases in frequency as clinical milestones are met. With intensive outpatient drug and alcohol rehab, have the support of their counselor and treatment peers as you navigate the everyday challenges of early recovery.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) can provide supportive and structured care to those who don't require 24/7 supervision. It can be used as a "step-down" option after you're released from the hospital or a residential program. PHP treatment integrates evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). The duration of a partial hospital program is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals but averages 90 days.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
When individuals first enter rehab, they may be malnourished due to substance use. They may also suffer from illness, organ damage, or other medical issues. 24-hour clinical care in Minnesota provides on-call staff who can monitor these conditions and provide appropriate treatment 24/7. This setting helps individuals who need substance use disorder treatment get the physical as well as psychological support they need.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug addiction is defined as an inability to stop using drugs even though it causes negative consequences in your life. Drug rehab in Minnesota provides treatment for drug addiction in a variety of settings including inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Therapists often use cognitive behavioral therapy in Minnesota to treat substance use disorders because it can help clients quickly identify challenges and ways to cope with them. Its structured, specific methods require fewer sessions than other types of therapy.

Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on four skills: emotional regulation, mindfulness, acceptance and distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Treatment involves individual sessions, as well as group sessions where you can start applying the skills you learn.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

When conducting motivational interviewing in Minnesota, the interviewer encourages clients to discuss their reasons for making changes and their need for change in their lives. The interviewer's role is to listen and reflect, to evoke conversation about commitment to change.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Family members age 13 and older have the life-changing opportunity to learn about the disease of addiction and how they've each been affected by it. Their intensive, three-day Family Program provides education and support. Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

This place sucks. I had so much faith in them. Sent my boyfriend there with the highest hopes. They released him after 2 weeks for insurance reasons. Saying, he isn t suicidal or withdrawing. I told his councilor, Cory that he wasn t close to ready to leave and so did my boyfriend. Cory could have cared less, saying it was an ethical thing and that he couldn t bill insurance ??? Was it ethical to send someone home who wasn t ready and didn t want to leave? It wasn t like he did the full 28 days and wanted to stay. He made it 2 days sober (maybe). Good job Cory!! I am hoping you don t get employee of the month because YOU FAILED, your patient and he may die because of it. The majority of your patients think you re a dink and not easy to talk with (learn to pretend you care at least) . Maybe get to know your patients before writing your little notes to insurances companies considering the majority of your patients are in life or death situations. Hazelton you detoxed him for a week and gave him a week of classes and minimal counseling. Shame on you. This place is about numbers and turning over beds. Disgusting

Food was wonderful and the amenities were top notch. The treatment was terrible. If you're looking for a quick spin dry and you love AA in a country club setting this is the place for you. Just plan on returning again and again. I checked in 8.5.24 and checked out 8.9.24. I checked into an actual treatment facility the afternoon of 8.9.24. I completed 28 days there and received help from staff with licenses not from peer led groups. If you're serious about getting better stay away from H/BF they just want your money.Edit 10.12.24Still sober and feeling great after leaving Hazelden and checking into a different treatment center for 28 days. One thing I left out of the above review was the actual disregard shown by HBF for my well-being. I detoxed in Ignatia which was generally a positive experience. They had me on phenobarbital. Which required a 10 day taper. That was not great but they assumed I was cross addicted to benzos because of a PRN Rx that I have...fair enough I suppose. The real problem is that when I left on a Friday I did not receive any discharge paperwork nor instruction on how to continue the taper. When I arrived at the next treatment center I signed an ROI so they could get the protocol from HBF. They never received a reply after phone and email and possibly fax(!) attempts. I mean it was a Friday afternoon so I guess it's possible the staff at HBF took off early for the weekend. So without knowing the taper protocol the new facility couldn't just give me phenobarbital willy nilly. I suppose that's because they have strong moral and ethical standards that they adhere to. Anyway my primary Dr. was finally able to get the paperwork from HBF on Monday afternoon. By that time I had basically cold turkyed my way off of the phenobarbital. In the end I came through it ok but this might not be the case for the next person. Hopefully HBF's team of lawyers will see this and call a staff meeting.

Hazelden Betty Ford in Minnesota is an amazing facility! I received total, wrap around care. They assessed me for mental health issues, and placed me in an appropriate group, aside from the normal programming. So, this was an extra group for people interested, or diagnosed with mental unhealth. They also recommended a very good Psychologist on their staff to do additional therapy, ART therapy. The doctor who performed the ART treatments was very knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and thorough. I ve been to treatment four times prior to becoming a patient at Hazelden, and no facility ever addressed my mental health, or childhood trauma. I can t say enough about Hazelden Betty Ford, their services are head and shoulders above every place I ve ever been!In my opinion, other facilities should should be required to implement the modalities, and complete care approach that Hazelden provides.
