Betty Ford Center

About Betty Ford Center – Rancho Mirage, California

The Betty Ford Center is a rehabilitation facility for men, women and adolescents in Rancho Mirage, California. The center has been in operation since 1982. Clients can receive inpatient, outpatient and telehealth treatment. They also provide drug and alcohol detox as well. In addition to these services, clients can benefit from a variety of resources from mobile apps and web tools to virtual and phone based coaching. The Betty Ford Center takes a holistic approach to treatment and focuses on providing patients with evidence based care that is patient centered. They accept a variety of private health insurance providers to help with payment.

The facility stands out for being recognized as one of the top addiction treatment centers in the country. Their residential program is staffed by numerous licensed team members including physicians, psychiatrists and nutritionists. Patients undergo 24 hour monitoring during detox and are given medication if needed. After detox is complete, clients can begin rehab treatment. Clients participate in individual and group therapy, wellness and fitness activities and medical appointments. The facility also provides nutritional assessments, spiritual care and other helpful program services.

Another thing I like about this facility is the extensive therapeutic approaches used. Therapists treat patients with approaches such as acceptance commitment therapy, mindfulness based cognitive therapy and psychoeducational groups. Clinicians determine the length of stay for clients based on the milestones that they meet. The Betty Ford Center also offers different levels of outpatient treatment including intensive, low intensity and day treatment. They also have specialty programs for LGBTQ+ individuals. They encourage families to get involved through family therapy, education and other resources provided to help them work through the effects addiction has had on them.
