COWBOY UP –

Feb. 5, 2021 – Other RecoveryGo™ resources and services now available in Montana and nationwide include a free one-day virtual Family Program, available in English and Spanish; a virtual Children’s Program; and numerous digital recovery support tools, such as mobile apps, podcasts and an online peer community. In addition, Hazelden Betty Ford’s prevention experts are looking to grow their support for Montana school systems by expanding into higher grade-level student services; and its professional education consultants are available to collaborate with treatment centers, hospitals, health systems and recovery organizations as well as Montana public health leaders who are interested in implementing virtual care and other evidence-based behavioral health solutions.

“By providing more opportunities for quality treatment and ongoing support, and collaborating with others who are also committed to reducing the negative impact of addiction, we’ll be able to bring hope and healing to underserved rural populations,” Dr. Yadron said.

Long a provider of telehealth solutions and leader in its industry, Hazelden Betty Ford quickly transitioned all of its “outpatients” nationwide at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a robust virtual platform that includes an effective system for virtual drug testing and other best practices to ensure the highest levels of confidentiality, safety and quality.

Just under a year later, Hazelden Betty Ford has now provided virtual outpatient care—for both addiction and mental health—to thousands of people throughout Minnesota, California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Illinois, Florida, New Jersey, Missouri, Idaho, Wisconsin and Colorado—and will soon expand to New Mexico, Arizona and other states.
