ounded in 1982 by former First Lady Betty Ford—who publicly shared her own recovery journey—the organization was built on the belief that addiction is treatable with compassionate, structured care.

Animal-assisted therapy is also incorporated, helping clients find comfort and emotional connection during treatment.

FAQ's of Betty Ford Center Rancho Mirage
The Betty Ford Center opened in Rancho Mirage, California, in 1982. The center’s cofounder and namesake, former First Lady Betty Ford, became synonymous with addiction recovery when, at age 60, she openly sought treatment for dependence on alcohol and prescription medications. In 2014, the Betty Ford Center merged with the Hazelden Foundation, established in 1949 and headquartered in Center City, Minnesota, to form the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. Today, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is recognized as the nation’s foremost nonprofit provider of comprehensive behavioral health care, harnessing science, love and the wisdom of lived experience to help individuals, families and communities affected by substance use and mental health conditions.

Then, medical care will remain an essential component of your comprehensive treatment program throughout your Hazelden Betty Ford stay.
