About Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation
Before arriving at 15251 Pleasant Valley Road in Center City, Minnesota, callers should verify which level of care matches their clinical needs and which payment options apply to their situation — details that shape everything from intake logistics to length of stay. Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation sits in Chisago County and carries dual accreditation from the Joint Commission and CARF, two of the most widely recognized quality standards in behavioral health. Those credentials matter when families are making urgent decisions about where a loved one will begin withdrawal management.
The facility provides three distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. Medical detox — the most acute level — addresses the physiological dimension of stopping substance use under clinical oversight, and it represents the starting point for people whose withdrawal carries meaningful medical risk. Residential treatment follows for those who need structured, immersive support beyond the detox phase. The outpatient program extends access to care for people who have completed a higher level of treatment or whose circumstances make full-time residential placement impractical.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of the therapeutic framework here, giving patients structured tools for identifying and shifting the thought patterns that drive addictive behavior. The facility also addresses trauma and PTSD alongside addiction, as well as co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis — conditions that, when left unaddressed, often undermine recovery from substance use alone. English is the language of service delivery.
Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation serves men, women, seniors and older adults, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. On the financial side, the facility works with private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance programs, and self-pay arrangements.
