The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, the nation’s largest nonprofit addiction treatment provider, has announced it is bringing its telehealth services to Missouri residents who have commercial insurance, no matter where they live in the state.

The services are part of Hazelden Betty Ford’s RecoveryGo tool, which provides telehealth treatment for intensive outpatient (IOP) care through individual and group therapy sessions.

Since launching RecoveryGo in March 2020, the provider has virtually served thousands of patients across about a dozen states. It’s goal is to roll out RecoveryGo in all 50 states over the next couple years.

In Missouri, RecoveryGo services are provided in partnership with Springfield-based CoxHealth and Centerpointe Hospital in St. Louis, both of which are members of the Hazelden Betty Ford Patient Care Network.

In addition to its virtual care offering, Hazelden Betty Ford has 17 in-person locations, in addition to other business divisions focused on topics such as addiction education, research and publishing.
