INTEGRIS Arcadia Trails joins with Hazelden Betty Ford network

Arcadia Trails INTEGRIS Health, a state-of-the-art addiction, mental health and trauma treatment center that is part of Oklahoma’s largest health system is joining forces with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation—the nation’s leading resource for individuals and families affected by substance use disorders—to address the growing need for behavioral health services.

The two organizations have entered into a three-year affiliation agreement under which Arcadia Trails INTEGRIS Health will leverage Hazelden Betty Ford’s expertise through an agreement to manage the Arcadia Trails 40-bed residential treatment center in Edmond.

Under the new agreement, Arcadia Trails INTEGRIS Health becomes the second “affiliate”-level member of the Hazelden Betty Ford Patient Care Network, a collection of health care organizations working together to expand addiction treatment services and improve patient outcomes.

 “We are excited about our collaboration with Hazelden Betty Ford,” said Timothy Pehrson, president and CEO at INTEGRIS Health. “This partnership will provide more resources for Arcadia Trails INTEGRIS Health and the Oklahomans we serve, and expand our comprehensive, individualized approach to care so that we’re engaging people longer to improve their ability to sustain recovery and better health.”

 According to numerous surveys and studies, the COVID-19 pandemic and related social and economic stresses have worsened the nation’s addiction and mental health crises, elevating the need for quality, accessible care and a robust continuum of services.

Javier Ley, a longtime clinical leader, was recently hired to serve as the new executive director of Arcadia Trails INTEGRIS Health. Ley’s employment through Hazelden Betty Ford will provide him with access to Hazelden Betty Ford’s enterprise-wide resources and support systems.
