Hazelden also utilizes individual therapy. </p> <p>Following the IOP, clients may participate in an <strong>extended outpatient program</strong>, which meets once or twice weekly for an agreed upon <strong>12-week minimum commitment</strong>. Sessions provide individualized support, reinforce cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy concepts, help clients continue to <strong>develop sober living skills</strong>, and gain support from others in recovery.</p> <p>Family members are encouraged to participate in treatment, and a <strong>free family workshop series</strong> is held every Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. at Hazelden's nearby facility in Tribeca, which also offers a structured sober living community. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Within New York State, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is among 27.7 percent of substance abuse treatment facilities accredited by <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/state_data/NY16.pdf" target="_blank">The Joint Commission</a>.
