Background

The organizations have a long history together. Hazelden was founded in 1949, and Betty Ford visited its Minnesota headquarters in 1982 when she was planning to open the facility in Rancho Mirage.[3]

The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation bases its residential and outpatient services on a twelve-step,[4] abstinence-based treatment model for people addicted to alcohol and other drugs.[5]

The Foundation also includes the nation's largest addiction and recovery publishing house, a fully accredited graduate school of addiction studies, an addiction research center, prevention training, an education arm for medical professionals, family members, and other loved ones, and a children's program.[6]
