Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Rehab in Rancho Mirage, CA

About Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Based in Rancho Mirage, California, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is a nonprofit accredited drug rehab and mental health center that provides addiction treatment to adults aged 18 and older and their families, including LGBTQIA+ folk, and those with concurrent mental health conditions. Many commercial health insurance providers are accepted. Financial aid is offered to those eligible.

Founded in 1982, this facility offers clients comprehensive services and programming to tackle complex substance abuse and mental health issues. Primarily an inpatient treatment facility, they also have a detox center to help clients at the beginning of their journey through challenging and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

Clients are issued personalized treatment plans. These plans take into account medical history and incorporate care for any co-occurring or mental health conditions. Some clients may begin with the center’s medical detox services to get sober. For those who may have undergone detox at another facility, residential care may be the most logical place to start.

Their inpatient treatment program begins with thorough assessments to meet clients where they’re at and better understand their needs. Clients can then access addiction-focused individual, group, family, and couples therapy. Medication coordination, integrated mental healthcare, and ongoing medical care are also included.

Outpatient support is also available here, with clients also accessing telehealth services. This option is ideal for those with limited mobility, or indeed anyone unable to easily get to the center regularly for in-person sessions. Post-rehab aftercare treatment groups are also held here for anyone in need of prolonged support and community after completing either of their addiction treatment programs. The center also provides nearby homes clients can stay in while attending outpatient sessions, as they find their feet ahead of finding stable living arrangements.

I spent $300 on a care package for a patient who was here. It was delivered and the staff signed for it, however, it never got to the addressee/patient. Employees must be stealing patient s deliveries. Appalling.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

Medically Assisted Detox

When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Aftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.

12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

24-Hour Clinical Care

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

Treatments

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

California's mental health and substance abuse rehabs provide dual-diagnosis treatment options for individuals looking to address co-occurring disorders. These programs are usually offered on either an inpatient or outpatient basis. You can usually expect a mental health assessment and personalized treatment plan, evidence-based therapies, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential therapies like equine therapy, skills groups, and counseling to simultaneously address both mental health and substance abuse and drastically increase your chances of long-term sobriety.

Programs

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.

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.

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.

Clinical Services

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.

The goal of couples therapy in California is to strengthen the couple's relationship. The therapist may take one or more approaches to counseling which may include the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy, behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic couple's therapy.

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

Detox was comfortable, I felt the nurses went out of their way to make things easy. Once I left detox, a nurse helped me find my unit and I was introduced to the men in my unit at lunch. I sat down and during this first lunch sat uncomfortably as sexist and homophobic jokes were tossed around. When I get back to my unit, I learn my assigned counselor was out on leave and that there was no plan or schedule to have me meet 1on1 with a counselor during my first week. I m told my buddy and roommate could help me navigate the facility and the schedule. My first few days relied on the support from another patient who had no interest in helping me. In the evening 10th step, I learned I was the only non-alcoholic and no one in my unit could offer any insight beyond alcoholism. Every session and every group meeting gave me the impression that unless I embraced a Protestant God that I would have a hard time. Every concern I had about step 3 I brought up to my group or the on call nurse was brushed off. I left after 3 days and found a smaller facility that didn t feel like such a machine. BFH play a numbers game and it seems if you re 50 years old or older, straight, Christian alcoholic, that this facility could be a good fit for you. But if you don t fit that mold, I d recommend looking elsewhere.

Thanks for your review, Michael. You've outlined some concerning issues and we would like to learn more from you. Please reach out to socialmedia(AT)hazeldenbettyford(DOT)org to connect with Betty Ford Center leadership.

A unique experience. I was there for almost 3 months and i highly disagree with being in a coed atmosphere not being able to talk to the opposite sex. Not realistic, not real life. Other then that i met some great people. I highly advise going to Daisy Lane which was a better experience than living on the campus.

Nice staff and facility. Issues with medications and outdated methods.

Betty Ford was absolutely amazing. Communication between staff could be a little better but my experience there was life-changing Daisy Lane was definitely a must in my recovery. The difference between residential and Daisy Lane is so different. The two hour process group a day was definitely my favorite and most beneficial it treats the root of your problems not just the addiction. Also having freedom to go have sober fun with peers is a nice way to ease yourself back into going home. I was cash pay being my insurance did not work outside of my state unless it was an emergency. I chose to cash pay anyways to get the best treatment possible. They were very respectful and I definitely had more say in how long I stayed. I ended up staying an extra week and I am so glad I did. Betty Ford was worth every penny. I can t wait to go back for the alumni reunion in November and see some of my sober friends that I made there. But I will say you get out of rehab what you put in. The relapse rate is so scary and real. So you have to go for all the right reasons and you have to want it or no rehab will help you. The hard work starts when you get home and out of the Betty Ford bubble. Rehab will help you start your new sober path but only YOU can fix YOU!!!
