About Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation
The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation’s Rancho Mirage location, historically known as the Betty Ford Center, sits at 39407 Vista del Sol in Rancho Mirage, California, in the Coachella Valley. The center carries one of the most recognized names in American addiction treatment, co-founded by First Lady Betty Ford with Leonard Firestone, and operates today as part of the nonprofit Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. The Rancho Mirage campus holds Joint Commission (JCAHO) accreditation.
Clinically, the Rancho Mirage campus offers a complete continuum of care for adults 18 and over. Medical detoxification is available for clients managing withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, or other substances. Inpatient addiction treatment delivers 24/7 residential care, with outpatient addiction treatment and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs supporting clients in step-down phases. Community-based sober living provides a longer ladder back into independent life, and outpatient mental health services address depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric concerns that often accompany substance use.
The Hazelden Betty Ford approach is built around evidence-based treatment integrated with the 12-step model that helped define modern addiction recovery. Cognitive behavioral therapy is identified as a core clinical modality, and the program is one of the most established practitioners of family programming in the field, with Family and Children’s Services explicitly built into the continuum. Recovery coaching and monitoring extend post-discharge support, and the foundation also provides virtual treatment options for clients unable to travel.
Hazelden Betty Ford partners with most major commercial insurance providers and explicitly accepts TRICARE West, TRICARE East, TriWest, and United Behavioral Health, among many other plans. The foundation does not accept Medicare or Medicaid. The Rancho Mirage campus is the foundation’s flagship California location, with additional Hazelden Betty Ford sites in San Diego, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin.
