Welcome to the Betty Ford Center in West Los Angeles, part of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. We're glad you're here. We understand how painful and confusing it can be to face addiction. You may be worried about what others will think. How your family will be affected. What this means for your career or livelihood. But you've already taken the most important step by reaching out and accepting help. And you've come to the right place. You're not alone. For more than 70 years, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation has devoted each new day to helping more people reclaim their lives from the disease of addiction. We know from experience that recovery is stronger than addiction. Treatment works. Families heal. Life gets better. We put together this handbook as your reference guide to our programs, services, facilities and expectations-and to give you an idea of what to expect during your time with us. Our programs are designed to not only help you get well but to help you stay well as you embark on your new life in recovery. With you every step of the way. Thank you for trusting your care to all of us at the Betty Ford Center. We're honored that you've chosen to begin your recovery journey with us, and we're committed to providing you with the very best help and support, every step of the way. Congratulations on your new beginning. 2
