Hazelden Betty Ford Naples

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who need treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions; are medically stable and post-detox; want 24/7 residential support with step-down outpatient care; value daily therapy, group-based treatment, and psychiatric support; may benefit from specialized groups for adults 50+; have private insurance or can self pay.

• Not a fit if: Need acute, hospital-level care or medical detox; prefer a non-12-Step treatment approach; are unwilling to participate in structured clinical treatment; want a fully self-directed treatment approach; rely on Medicare or Medicaid for coverage, or are uninsured and unable to self-pay.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Needs assessment: Before admission, care navigators help in assessing personal needs, explain treatment options, and guide clients through next steps that include the appropriate level of care to get started.
• Individual plan creation: After admission, clients work with a primary counselor to develop a personalized treatment plan based on their medical, mental health, and substance use needs. Plans are reviewed during weekly sessions with the primary counselor and adjusted as needed based on progress and engagement.

Who you will meet with

• Addiction counselors: Clients are assigned a primary counselor and meet regularly for individual support and treatment planning. Counselors also lead group therapy and recovery-focused sessions.
• Psychiatrists and therapists: Licensed mental health professionals provide assessments, therapy, and medication management as needed for clients with co-occurring mental health conditions.
• Nurses and medical professionals: Nursing and clinical professionals monitor and support physical health needs throughout treatment and may prescribe medications as appropriate.

Typical schedule

• Structured daily programing: Treatment follows a structured schedule that typically runs morning to evening, approximately 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Daily activities can include group therapy sessions, individual counseling, and wellness activities such as meditation and fitness.
• Skill-building and relapse prevention: Programming emphasizes coping strategies, relapse prevention, and life skills to support long-term recovery. This is accomplished through education, group work, and 12-Step-based meetings as part of the daily routine.
• Dedicated groups: Group recovery sessions are offered for adults over 50 to address issues like career changes, chronic pain, family, physical health, and identity. Specialized groups are also provided for first responders and clients with opioid use disorder.

Living experiences and amenities

• Condo-style accommodations: While undergoing treatment, clients live in shared, fully furnished condominiums, typically with up to three roommates. Condos have full kitchens, in-unit laundry and private outdoor terraces.
• Independent daily living: Groceries are delivered to each condo twice a week, and clients plan and prepare their own meals. Cell phone using is allowed on a monitored basis.

Aftercare

• Continuing care options: Clients can transition into outpatient or intensive outpatient (IOP) programs to maintain progress after residential treatment.
• Long-term recovery support: Additional resources include alumni programs, recovery coaching, community referrals, and continued care planning to support ongoing recovery after discharge.

Pre-admissions experience

We conducted a series of pre-admissions calls, the most recent on April 3, 2026, to evaluate response time, transparency, and patient experience.

When we reached out to Hazelden Betty Ford, the admissions team was patient and knowledgeable. They walked us through clinical approaches, accommodations, and details of the treatment team. The conversation felt transparent and empathetic, with clear explanations around current availability and client involvement in treatment planning.
