The Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, part of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, stands as a testament to former First Lady Betty Ford's personal recovery journey and her commitment to addiction advocacy. Established in 1982, this renowned treatment center offers comprehensive care through a thoughtful blend of evidence-based approaches, holistic therapies, and 12-Step principles, with each treatment plan individually tailored to client needs. The center provides multiple levels of care, including inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient services, specialized programming for professionals, intensive outpatient treatment, virtual outpatient options, and sober living arrangements. Treatment is delivered by a multidisciplinary team that includes on-site psychiatrists and physicians, while spiritual guidance and holistic activities complement the clinical work. Specialized programs address unique needs such as addiction with chronic pain, grief recovery, LGBTQ+ support, family healing, children's programs, and gender-specific treatment. Many clients particularly connect with the center's animal-assisted therapy program, often facilitated by Malcolm, the beloved goldendoodle therapy dog. Set on 20 acres near Palm Springs, the facility offers a healing environment with mountain views, a lake, swimming pool, and fitness center. The center maintains strong continuing care through nearby sober living options and comprehensive aftercare services, while also welcoming family involvement through Sunday visitations. The Betty Ford Center maintains the highest standards of care through Joint Commission accreditation, LegitScript monitoring, and membership in the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP).
