Hazelden Betty Ford

About Hazelden Betty Ford

Hazelden Betty Ford is a national addiction treatment provider operating a residential campus in Plymouth, Minnesota, and a day treatment center with on-campus sober housing in Saint Paul, both within the Twin Cities metro. The organization combines clinical treatment with the housing that keeps some residents on site while they work through it.

A National Recovery Housing Provider With Minnesota Roots

Hazelden Betty Ford traces its origins to Minnesota and remains headquartered in the state, now operating locations across the country. Its Minnesota campuses pair licensed clinical treatment with structured housing, which sets it apart from Minnesota's smaller, community-run sober home operators: the clinical license and the housing sit under one roof and one organization.

Residential Treatment for Teens and Emerging Adults in Plymouth

The Plymouth campus runs residential and day treatment programs on a fourteen-acre site, with separate tracks and dorms for teenagers and for emerging adults in their late teens and twenties. Residents live on campus during the residential phase, with a full daily schedule of individual and group therapy alongside recreational space that includes a gym and a climbing wall.

Day Treatment and On-Campus Housing in Saint Paul

The Saint Paul location, at 680 Stewart Avenue, offers day treatment with an optional on-campus sober housing component, alongside intensive outpatient care, medication management and mental health therapy delivered in person or virtually. The optional housing lets a resident keep the structure of a supervised address while attending treatment during the day, without requiring a full residential stay.

Specialized Programming for the LGBTQIA+ Community

Hazelden Betty Ford's Saint Paul programming includes services specifically for LGBTQIA+ adults, a population that often has a harder time finding recovery housing that fits. Folding that programming into an existing day treatment and housing site means a resident does not have to choose between specialized care and a stable address.

How Minnesota Certification Applies to Clinical Providers

Minnesota's Minnesota Association of Sober Homes certifies community recovery residences under NARR standards, a voluntary program distinct from the clinical licensure that governs a treatment provider like Hazelden Betty Ford. A campus that is not on the MASH roster is not a red flag: it is operating under a different, and in this case more extensive, regulatory framework.

A Statewide and National Referral Network

Because Hazelden Betty Ford runs locations well beyond Minnesota, including its founding Center City campus, a resident who starts treatment on one campus can be referred to another Hazelden Betty Ford site for detox, residential care or aftercare without starting over with a new provider.
