Facility Comparison

In order to assist you in choosing a treatment facility, we have created a comparison worksheet outlining the services included in the cost of treatment at Betty Ford Center. We encourage you to use this tool when researching treatment facilities. Here is an example of how this worksheet may assist in your treatment decision:

When asking a facility if Detox is included in the cost of treatment, many facilities will say ‘yes.’ What they may not tell you is there are additional fees for Detox medications, physicians, labs, evaluations, etc. This grid was designed to show you the services Betty Ford Center provides, with a listing of related “service details.” These details will hopefully give you some guidance regarding the appropriate questions to ask in order to better understand the true cost of treatment and make a more informed decision about the best option.

If after comparing treatment facilities you still have unanswered questions, please contact our knowledgeable Admission staff for further details.
