Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation – Newberg

If you want to find out what kind of follow-up you’ll actually get from HBF, compare the wait times on the phone when you call as a new person looking for help versus an existing patient who has just been discharged.… The difference is pretty telling. They also seem to overprescribe medications that no other doctor in town is willing to refill. I just got out of there, and they won’t even help me get the refills I need. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend staying away from this place. The lack of follow-up and support after discharge has been extremely frustrating. It feels like the money matters more than the patients. Patrick the tech was cool though, The food was great. Hey man!!

Awesome Made a break threw It’s the place to go if you need help

Had a great experience and learned a lot about myself in the time I was being treated, would recommend this place to anyone that is suffering from addiction. Big thank you to all the staff also! All great people taking… care of your needs.

For me, all that I anticipated and more. I wish I could still be there in the day treatment. Fortunately I'm able to do IOP online through Zoom.

Hazelden Betty Ford Newberg, Provides top notch treatment and care. The staff from housekkeping to counselors treatment, mentalh health and kitchen staff are wonderful. Thank you!!!!

I can’t express enough gratitude for Newberg’s amazing staff. Life saving!

A wonderful place surrounded by beauty. Excellent staff from the professionals through the kitchen staff and dining staff Felt very welcoming at all times. A lot of very dedicated people who show that they actually… really care and aren't just doing a job. I really liked that a lot of the counselors and care coordinators were also in recovery. Made it easier to be open and honest with myself and others.

My husband has gone to this rehab twice and relapsed immediately both times. I believe that there are skilled knowledgable people who work at this facility. However, with that being said they use the basic model and… from what i've seen that doesn't work for most addicts. They are taught to have their family members tip toe around their shame. that's not how recovery works. They need to walk through their shame to make progress. I could go on and on with the amount of things ive learned and I'm an addict myself. I realize you have to want to get sober also but with the right model being taught which there is no one way but with a facility or "facilities" like this there needs to be a different structer and smaller amount of patients taken in at one time. It's also about money. I realize its a business but the whole point is to help others. I recommend the owner revamp and watch new podcast like Rise Above with Kevin and TWFO (Till the wheels fall off) both are centered around people in successful recovery and cover two different outlines. TWFO covers what is like for the spouse or family member of the addict and is hosted by an addict in recovery and his wife and Kevin's podcast invites people to tell their own stories and what worked for them.

Great facility, nurses, counselors & doctors were all good to work with, highly recommend if you’re seeking a PHP facility. Nice to be able to keep your mobile phone, make sure you don’t bring anything that has lavender… in it toiletries, body washes, etc. with lavender aren’t allowed. Be aware no electrolyte powders, tablets etc. they also not allowed. You can order Amazon to get extra food, beverages, or other items you may need or want. The cafeteria food is good, you’ll be eating a lot of chicken while there. Overall I strongly recommend this place, I wanted to list a couple things I didn’t know prior to walking in the doors that would have helped me. Also if you’re male and are in TRT have your doctor get you refilled before you go that was a bit of a hassle for me while there.

Jon (Jonathan) Ammons here. My name and that I attended here is already out there on Facebook, so I don't really mind sharing it at this point, though my FB is private (can still send me an invite if you're an alumni)!… This was my second time at Hazelden. This time I came actually more for the mental health and well being aspect. The first time and partially this time were for alcohol. Con this time: The insurance seemed way too much in charge of the time one was allowed to spend there. I was told one thing prior to going, then ended up having to worry about it in the second week which was a distraction. Absorbed: "Father" Phil (AKA Yoda): No longer there, retired. He had a way like my grandpa where he could look into your eyes and like see right into your soul. Adapted: "Father" David: What a lovely, youthful laugh this guy has! And such wisdom! Another non-denominational Spiritual Advisor who ultimately assisted me with one great question for myself I've grappled with for a few decades (I'm getting old). Perfect man for the job if anyone other than Father Phil, and great classes. Pros: All of it. With the staff and approach, you get people who truly care at all levels and get healing from all directions. You get meals three times a day from kind folks, the housekeeping staff dance and say hi, the mental health folks help identify what may be behind addictions and other issues. The techs and nurses are always available and happy to help no matter what the issue may be. The spiritual advisor and wellness instructors are available to assist in guiding your journey and in learning more about yourself. No matter what, you are nurtured and you are empowered and you are healed. You find hope, and you find yourself amongst peers from all walks of life, all ages, all political and religious or non, from wealth or not, but so much wisdom, and so much joy as people awake from the depths of their addictions or slumbers from the world. It is a community, one I am fresh out of this time and I miss. People come and go, but you make bonds with just about everybody who are serious about why they are there. Bottom-Line: First time I went was during COVID. I think it was because of this our group was so bonded. The staff as well. Most of them are gone now, though Matt (counselor) and some of the techs are still there, perhaps others. But while it took me about a week to get used to the changes amidst everything going on mentally, I came to realize the place is the same. The staff cares. They work with you about medication which is maybe one of the biggest pains in the ass. But it is for them too. You have to get the psychiatrist and the doctor and the nurse involved at different times sometimes. But ultimately, our bodies can handle it. Our brains. We just don't think we can right then because we're addicts and we know best. The nurses get the most guff, the most accusations for withholding meds or giving the wrong stuff or whatever. They are the true heroes there. They give you what you need. When you need it. Not too much, not too little. And they are always patient and kind. Unless you are violent or shouting at them. I cannot recommend Hazelden enough to anyone wondering about it. Maybe bring ear plugs and/or a fan if you have a roommate (or two!) that snore. And a bath towel. And your favorite pillow. And your favorite brand of TP. And make sure you have an Amazon account. Lots of changes of clothes - one day can be about three seasons during the fall/winter/spring. And bring safety scissors. And NOTHING Aerosol. Including shaving cream.

I wish I found this place 20 yrs ago. The staff is the best. Facilities are amazing. Would recommend to any that needs help

Food is good but makes me gassy. I’ve been to a few detox places and hazelden has it figured out. Best place for in patient care bar none.

Whilst some of the policies and procedures were a pain in (my) ass, id do it a thousand times over. I have a new lease and outlook on life and a strong core foundation as i move forth in recovery. I know ive a long way… to go. In the past i always got clean alone or with 12 step alone. But this quit, with getting professional and multimodal care and help with my dual-diagnosis has both saved and changed my life. There isnt anything i wouldnt do for Hazelden Newberg campus♥️

All was great! Love the staff love the community

They let people leave and come back. They let people of the other sex be alone and hangout. They don’t care. There a horrible place to let your spouse go to.

Very good curriculum and staff.

Being at Hazelden was life changing. I feel like it was the most important thing I’ve ever done. The emotional work was liberating. This is the only treatment center I know of that helps people heal their inner… pain/trauma wounds that lead to use. The staff there were amazing. Overall I was treated with respect and empathy. The facilities were very clean and well maintained, and the food was amazing. Techs Tia, Michelle, Amanda, and nurses Mariana and Dee Dee were especially kind and helpful to me, and unfortunately I can’t remember all the names I’d like to list.

HBF is an amazing facility with tremendous staff. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience here.

The staff and community are second to none with their professional, knowledgeable, and loving care.

Hazelden Betty Ford saved my life. thank you forever. Joel Nicholas Rock

They did their best, and the food was fantastic.

Hazeldon Betty Ford provided for all my needs!! I appreciated all the helpful staff and the way my day was structured with groups, 12-step meetings and the food was great 😊 I will highly recommend this facility!!!… Sincerely, Helga Bruntsch

This place and its staff are outstanding in my experience:). I cannot praise this place enough. And the food is tasty!

They truly take care of you here. I was in denial to go to treatment but the second I stepped in the doors at Hazelden in Newberg I felt so welcomed and loved and knew that I was exactly where I needed to be. I can’t… say enough good things about this place, the community there and the friends I made is something you can’t get anywhere else. I never thought I would be sad to leave a place I didn’t want to go to in the first place. I can’t recommend it enough.

Great staff especially Kevin my counselor and Zachery my psychologist. Enjoyed the small peer groups

I had a good experience. Let's see how I do in the real world.

Every person was there to help me in my journey. This is my rock bottom and the journey has been so hard. I’m grateful, willing and focused to be a sober person who will give back to other alcoholics.
