How do I know if I even need treatment?
If you're asking yourself this question, chances are you're experiencing some negative consequences from your substance use. Like relationship issues. Or an accident. Or medical complications? These are just a few signs that your alcohol or drug use could be affecting your functioning and that you could benefit from outpatient or inpatient treatment.
Hazelden Betty Ford care navigators are here for you—to assess your situation, discuss the types of care and support available, and help you determine the next steps for admission.
What happens at drug and alcohol detox centers?
Withdrawal from alcohol and/or other drugs can feel complicated and unpredictable. At Hazelden Betty Ford, detox is medically managed and monitored to ease withdrawal symptoms and relieve cravings. This ensures a safe and comfortable withdrawal process so you're in a better place physically and emotionally to begin inpatient alcohol rehab or inpatient drug treatment. We offer drug and alcohol detox services for patients aged 18 and older at our Center City location.
Does telehealth or virtual care work for addiction treatment?
Online healthcare technologies have opened the door to addiction and mental health treatment for more people than ever. For many Hazelden Betty Ford patients, virtual care options have improved participation rates because attendance is more convenient.
Online counseling sessions can be an ideal alternative if you have accessibility or mobility challenges or if you're not located near our Center City, Minnesota campus. Our virtual addiction treatment programs are built with the same evidence-based interventions as our in-person rehab programs.
Integrated Care for Co-occurring Disorders
Substance use issues are typically accompanied by other mental health conditions. The mix and complexity of symptoms can make diagnosis and treatment challenging. For example, the symptoms of depression can become more severe with drinking or other drug use. Likewise, substance use issues can intensify as symptoms of depression worsen.
Hazelden Betty Ford clinicians specialize in dual diagnosis and treatment of co-occurring disorders. Mental health care is fully integrated into your individualized treatment plan and is provided by psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and addiction counselors who have expertise in treating co-occurring disorders.
Outpatient Mental Health Services
Substance use issues are typically accompanied by other mental health conditions. The mix and complexity of symptoms can make diagnosis and treatment challenging.
Mental health services at Hazelden Betty Ford are available to individuals 12 years of age and older on an outpatient basis.
Our licensed mental health team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors. We provide the following mental health services:
- Screenings and assessments
- Individual therapy and counseling
- Special-focus group therapy
- Medication coordination
