At Coastwise Health, our mission has always been to provide compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals and families navigating drug addiction, trauma, and mental health challenges. We’re proud to share that our practice is now a recognized member of the Hazelden Betty Ford Patient Care Network — a prestigious, national collaboration of trusted care providers committed to excellence in behavioral health and substance abuse treatment.

This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering the highest standard of care in outpatient rehab and counseling — and it has meaningful implications for every client who walks through our doors.

What Is the Hazelden Betty Ford Patient Care Network?

The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is a nationally renowned leader in substance abuse treatment, mental health support, and recovery services. Founded on decades of research and clinical innovation, the Foundation has helped shape the standards by which addiction treatment is measured across the country.

Their Patient Care Network includes independently owned organizations that uphold best practices in clinical care and share a commitment to integrated, patient-centered treatment. Membership is not automatic — providers must demonstrate clinical excellence, ethical integrity, and a proven commitment to evidence-based approaches in substance abuse treatment and mental health care.

By joining this network, Coastwise Health becomes part of a growing alliance of vetted providers aligned with Hazelden Betty Ford’s standards of care, ethics, and outcomes.

What This Means for Our Clients

Being part of the Hazelden Betty Ford Patient Care Network reflects Coastwise Health’s:

  • Commitment to quality and accountability in behavioral health services, including drug rehab and counseling
  • Clinical alignment with evidence-based practices used by national leaders in addiction and trauma treatment
  • Enhanced access to resources, referrals, and ongoing training from a larger network of specialists in substance abuse treatment
  • Collaboration with other elite care providers to ensure continuity and coordination of care when needed

Whether a client is beginning their healing journey or transitioning from a residential drug rehab program, Coastwise Health is a trusted outpatient and community-based provider for long-term recovery and mental wellness.

Evidence-Based Treatment Standards

One of the most significant benefits of this partnership is the reinforcement of evidence-based treatment across every level of care at Coastwise Health. Our clinical team follows the same rigorous, research-backed protocols that define the Hazelden Betty Ford brand — ensuring that our substance abuse treatment programs deliver measurable results.

This means our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) are held to the same high standards as the most respected addiction treatment centers in the nation. Clients participating in IOP or PHP at Coastwise Health can be confident that their treatment plan reflects the latest research in addiction medicine, behavioral health, and relapse prevention.

Our outpatient programs incorporate proven therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, trauma-focused care, and structured group counseling — all aligned with Hazelden Betty Ford’s clinical guidelines.

Integrated, Trauma-Informed Care

Our inclusion in this network also emphasizes our trauma-informed approach and our expertise in:

  • Individual therapy and group counseling
  • Family therapy and family systems counseling
  • Couples counseling for relationship repair during recovery
  • EMDR for trauma recovery
  • Relapse prevention and long-term support planning
  • Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance abuse

Every therapist on our team is trained to recognize the connection between trauma, mental health, and drug addiction. This integrated approach ensures that clients receive holistic care that addresses the full picture — not just the symptoms of substance abuse, but the underlying emotional and psychological factors driving it.

As a proud Southern California-based provider, Coastwise Health offers in-person and virtual care, bridging the gap between intensive treatment programs and real-life integration.

A Step Forward in Whole-Person Recovery

Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. By joining forces with Hazelden Betty Ford’s Patient Care Network, we deepen our capacity to deliver comprehensive, high-integrity care for our community. This partnership strengthens every aspect of what we do — from our IOP and PHP programs to our individual and group therapy offerings.

We’re honored to be part of a network that shares our values and proud to extend this strength to every individual and family we serve.
