HAZELDEN BETTY FORD FOUNDATION

HAZELDEN BETTY FORD FOUNDATION specializes in delivering evidence-based addiction orientation and behavioral health training programs for federal healthcare and public safety personnel. Their core capabilities center on designing and implementing curriculum-driven interventions that equip medical officers, substance abuse prevention specialists, and frontline healthcare providers with clinical knowledge on substance use disorders, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based treatment protocols. The organization leverages decades of clinical expertise in residential mental health and substance abuse recovery to deliver accredited, competency-based training that aligns with federal workforce development standards. Key differentiators include their proprietary clinical frameworks, integration of peer recovery principles, and ability to scale high-fidelity education models across dispersed federal teams. The contractor maintains a consistent and deep relationship with the Department of Homeland Security, providing mission-critical addiction competency training to personnel across immigration, border protection, and emergency response units. Their work supports DHS’s broader mission to enhance workforce resilience and reduce occupational health risks through proactive behavioral health education. Their primary industry focus is residential mental health and substance abuse facilities, as defined by NAICS 623220, where they operate at the intersection of clinical service delivery and federal workforce training. They specialize in translating treatment center best practices into scalable, government-compliant educational programs, positioning them uniquely as a bridge between clinical care systems and federal operational readiness. As a nonprofit entity headquartered in Center City, MN, HAZELDEN BETTY FORD FOUNDATION operates with a mission-driven structure focused on public health impact. While they hold no formal government certifications, their reputation is built on clinical credibility, adherence to SAMHSA and ASAM guidelines, and a decades-long track record of serving vulnerable populations. Their geographic presence is anchored in Minnesota, but their training programs are delivered nationally to federal agencies with mission-critical behavioral health needs.
