Orientation You will be moved to a treatment unit once you've been cleared medically. A " buddy " from your unit will be assigned to you to help you learn the routine and show you around. You will attend orientation groups where you will learn about substance use and what Hazelden Betty Ford expects of you and other patients. Your treatment experience will include individual and group counseling, family counseling and continuing care planning. You will learn how to apply the Twelve Steps of AA through lectures, literature, " Big Book " meetings, guest speakers and orientation. Hazelden Betty Ford functions as a community. All patients live and work together in a cooperative environment. You benefit by being open with other group members and by spending your free time with them in the community areas or by participating in recreational activities. Other patients may need encouragement to participate so feel free to talk to them and help them feel part of the group. How much you get from this program is directly related to how much you put into it. At the heart of our philosophy is our belief that you are a capable person.
