Support for families available at no cost.

New virtual family program now available nationwide

With addiction and mental health needs growing amid the pandemic, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation has launched a new education and support program for families—accessible at no cost right in the home.

Delivered virtually as part of our RecoveryGo behavioral health service, this one-day session is based on Hazelden Betty Ford’s world-class, on-site family program and recognizes that when one family member has a substance use disorder, everyone is affected. By attending any of the four weekly offerings below, the patients and clients you serve will learn valuable skills for working through the chaos of addiction in the family, setting healthy boundaries and rebuilding trusting relationships. (Click to register. Individual registration is required for each family member/attendee.)

How far is the reach of RecoveryGo?

Just two months ago, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation’s outpatient addiction treatment and mental health services were available in 15 cities. Today, those high-quality, insurance-eligible services are available to people in 7,648 cities—and every rural area in between—across eight states, and counting.

Our care is no longer limited to the places where we have rooms, walls, chairs, flip charts and licensed clinicians physically located. Thanks to Hazelden Betty Ford’s growing virtual service options, your patients and clients can get help from the nation’s leader in addiction and co-occurring mental health treatment no matter where they live in California, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon or Washington. From Green Acres, CA, to Cooperstown, NY, we are there.

While Hazelden Betty Ford will be expanding virtual outpatient and mental health services to even more states soon, many of our other RecoveryGo telehealth solutions—like the new one-day, no-cost virtual family program—are already available to everyone in every state, and beyond. Together with you, we look forward to helping spreading recovery to every corner of the country.

If your patients and clients are in need of outpatient addiction treatment, mental health or family programming, please reach out to us to learn more. Visit our website: [link removed] or call a patient access coordinator at 1-800-257-7800: tel:+18002577800 .

Dr. Schmidt will also discuss emerging evidence on the interaction between stigma and shame.

Help Us Advocate
Hazelden Betty Ford is part of a broad coalition of behavioral health organizations and patient advocacy groups asking Congress for crisis funding to help ensure patients in need continue to get services during the pandemic. We are working with our trade association, the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, to advocate for <a href="[link removed]">$38.5 billion in proposed direct payments</a> to organizations providing mental health and substance use disorder treatment. U.S. House leaders are looking to pass another pandemic relief package as early this Friday. At this time, the <a href="[link removed]">proposal</a> does not include all of the funding that our coalition is seeking. You can help by thanking your own U.S. Senators and Representative if they have <a href="[link removed]">signed on in support</a> of the $38.5 billion in emergency funding for behavioral health organizations or by asking for their support.
