About Hazelden Betty Ford Chelsea
Based in New York City, Hazelden Betty Ford Chelsea is a former outpatient drug rehab and mental health center that provided treatment to adults aged 18 and older and their families, including LGBTQIA+ folk. Those with concurrent mental health conditions could also receive treatment here. The Chelsea location is closed, but they do have another clinic on 283 West Broadway that offers the same services.
This center’s primary form of care is its intensive outpatient programs. These offer individuals a range of support, including addiction education, mental health services, focus groups, 12 Step meetings, as well as group, individual, and couples therapy sessions. Their educational sessions are designed to help clients understand the dynamics and causes behind addiction, and the important role that recovery plays. On the whole, their programs are designed to help individuals adapt healthier practices and coping mechanisms into their lives, as well as build reliable sober support networks for themselves. This is all done through personalized treatment plans and goal-setting exercises.
An important part of their intensive outpatient program is also to help individuals smoothly transition back to their professional, occupational, or academic lives and responsibilities. They also offer virtual and telehealth appointments for those unable to regularly attend meetings in person. A lower-intensity outpatient approach exists as a tier below their regular program for those further along in their recovery. On principle, it isn’t so different, but it mostly involves group sessions.
Their specialized LGBTQIA+ addiction treatment services and programming features alumni speaker meetings with LGBTQIA+ guests and clinicians.
