Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation - Beaverton

Outpatient treatment to fit client needs

The facility’s outpatient programs are designed to allow clients to schedule treatment around their day-to-day responsibilities, including work, family, and education. Clients can live at home or in sober living accommodations while attending programming during the days or evenings. The IOP runs 4 days a week for 3 hours per day and offers morning and evening options. A completely virtual IOP is available for adults with substance use and co-occurring mental health needs who need to receive care entirely from home. The primary mental health PHP and IOP are offered in-person.

Assessments real-time plan adjustment

Staff give clients thorough assessments before treatment begins to make sure they are placed in the right level of care. This starts with a short preliminary questionnaire completed by phone, after which a 60-to-90-minute phone assessment with a licensed addiction counselor is scheduled. This assessment covers clinical history and other client needs and is used to help clinicians recommend the program duration that will fit best. The IOP may last between 4 and 10 weeks, with the duration assessed continually as clients progress. As they move forward in treatment, clients can step down to less intensive levels of care.

Mental health integration, trauma, and opioid use recovery

Adults who are receiving treatment for substance use also get assessed for co-occurring mental health needs, which are treated at the same time if relevant. The center offers a trauma-specific day program that addresses substance use and trauma together through education, emotional regulation and resilience skills, medication management when needed, and relapse prevention strategies. Clients who have opioid use disorder may be prescribed medications for addiction treatment (MAT) to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

Care methods

Treatment is based around a 12-Step foundation and emphasizes peer support, sponsorship, and long-term meeting attendance. Each client is assigned a dedicated substance use counselor for one-on-one therapy, aftercare planning, and guidance with 12-Step work. Continuing care includes recovery coaching, long-term groups, and online spaces for program graduates to stay connected to one another.

Pre-admissions experience
