About Us
Individualized Approach & Evidence-Based PracticesIn recognizing addiction as a chronic disease and recovery as a new way of living, treatment at the Betty Ford Center is individualized, collaborative and occurs over the long term through a continuum of care and support. Our program goals and expectations are designed to ensure patients have the best opportunity to learn, change and heal–moving from clinical care to self-care. It is with this expectation in mind that we developed our programs to help patients learn about the disease of addiction and the need for an abstinence-based life, understand the principles of recovery management, learn and begin the practice the Twelve Steps and principles of Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous and understand and implement lifestyle changes necessary to maintain sobriety.
