Betty Ford Center – Naples

I'm really surprised that more people haven't left positive reviews! It was my first time in a rehab, and those who had been to multiple rehabs in the past, talked a lot about how much better Hazelden Betty Ford Naples is compared to any of the others they had been to. It's a 47 bed residential program (they also offer IOP). I was there for just over 30 days and can't say enough great things. Obviously the most important thing is the recovery program. Top Notch!! There was really only one facilitator I didn't like listening to...and we were in 4-6 different sessions every day! The counselors were all fantastic (you have YOUR counselor, and if you don't click with them, you can move to a different counselor. I only know of 1 person that did that, that's how great they all are)! The finance mgr is amazing in helping you navigate through insurance and payments. The continuing care coordinator insures you are ready for discharge with all the resources you'll need once you leave (no matter where you live!) You choose the groceries you want from a Publix list and cook yourself...I LOVED that, way better than the detox I came from where there was a cook and you got whatever they made. There's a large gas grill on the patio and you can use that whenever you want...which my roommates and I did! The condos are nice enough. No private rooms. I cried for 2 hours when I got there because I couldn't imagine rooming with others, at my age. But, in true recovery from alcohol and addiction, it's exactly what you need to get over yourself. My roommate and I will be friends for life, and I left with phone numbers of at least 10 people that I considered friends and will definitely stay in touch with. No surprise, there were clients there that I loved, and others I didn't, but you have the space to avoid those folks you don't want to spend time with. And again, once released, we all need to know how to handle the good and bad in sobriety and the setting was perfect for "practicing" both fellowship with those who understand what you're going through and of patience for the others, so you don't use again when you're faced with jerks "in the real world". There were a lot of ups and downs while I was there, and looking back, the negatives were mostly me and my disease thinking and talking for me. If you leave too soon, you most likely won't have liked the place. If you stick out a full program, this is the place to go to get better, and to get all the knowledge and tools you'll need to be successful in sobriety!!

I have nothing but high praise for Hazelden Betty Ford Naples. The staff gave me personalized attention in all aspects of my recovery journey. The counselors are highly skilled in their profession and go above and beyond to assist you. The Techs are also outstanding in helping you with day to day issues. I was also impressed with the emphasis on after care. It was a great experience and I will be forever grateful for their hard work and compassion. James G.

If you’re reading this as a potential client or family member of a client, know that you are making the right choice going to Hazelden. I firmly believe there is no better treatment center in the U.S. if you are willing to be open and honest with yourself and put in the work. Every member of the staff is caring, knowledgeable and there to support your recovery - from the counselors and techs, to the clinical team and even housekeeping and maintenance. There were many treatment centers closer to me in PA, but every professional we spoke to recommended Hazelden. I’m so incredibly glad as I head home today to have been fortunate enough to have the experience I did. Be cautious when reading other reviews as often those most apt to provide feedback are the ones who weren’t fully committed to their recovery.

Wow! This place was amazing. Anyone who's serious about recovery and has a chance to go here you will not regret it. The counselors are top notch. They all really care about you and are there for you even if not your assigned counselor. The phycotherapist and the spiritual advisor are absolutely amazing. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired give yourself a break and stay here as long as possible to build your foundation. You won't regret it. Thank you to all the staff. I will never forget any of you. Om tat sat 🙏🕉️❤️‍🩹

Thank you, Hazelden Betty Ford. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Naples location, directed by Gail Perreault, Clinical Director. Long story short - The Betty Ford Foundation saved my life. They helped me turn around my substance use, physical well-being, my mental health, and my family for that matter. The most important facts that I have to state is the #1 best curriculum, research, very well-educated licensed professionals, safe location/property, cleanliness of the campus, etc. I have been to several rehabs, and I have never had the most profound education and care to such a level provided by Hazelden Betty Ford. The campus and condos above the group rooms and offices of the main floor were very clean and well-kept. The location is absolutely gorgeous; best description - luxurious. All rooms and policies/procedures due to the Covid-19 pandemic, were sanitized and upheld to the highest regard. Due to severe alcohol and Benzodiazepine use, my physical state was horrible, and my mind melted but the Naples location assisted me through the journey of changing that. I was suffering from Post-Acute-Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS). My body was at an extremely high risk of seizures. I had such severe symptoms that the staff and my peers observed me, one of my friends there privately told the Nursing staff, and two nurses physically held me up to walk me to the Medical offices where the Nurse Practitioner evaluated my state and kindly recommended an anti-seizure medication. I was extremely hesitant about the medication until the NP went over every detail pertaining to the medication. Long story short - I full heartedly know this medication saved my life. The Clinical Director (Gail), my therapist (Mayra), the counseling staff, Nursing that monitored my Heart disease, and Continuum Care Coordinators deserve my upmost appreciation and gratitude. Genuine graciousness that is priceless; I could never repay. I have so many great compliments to all staff and very nice stories of my experience there with my peers that are now best friends. Best friends that are sober and were even in my excellent Intensive-Out-Patient program that is extraordinarily held by Ms. Heidi Martell and Terry G. I am currently to the phase of Outpatient, having therapy with Katie Stabile once a week. Amazing therapist and overall person. Thank you, Hazelden Betty Ford of Naples, Florida. I cannot wait to come back and visit! Special thanks to: Gail Perreault, Mayra, Heather H, Peter, Nurses Chris & Patty, Aman, Bill, Mike, Ed, Jess, Terry, NP Donna, Dan, Amanda A. (Amanda A. is in Admissions; was the very first wonderful staff member I met), and anyone that I may be missing at this current moment. Every member of staff will forever be in my heart and thoughts. I implore any individual suffering from substance use and/or comorbid mental health to let Hazelden Betty Ford and the peers take you under their wing. God Bless and best wishes! You can do this! :) Sincerely, Kyle H. Alumni Class of 2022 P.S. Bring your sunscreen to the optional beach and parks (I learned the hard way even though I grew up on the beach)! :)
