Ford, Betty

Photo of Betty Ford, co-founder of the Betty Ford Center A layperson by training, and a leader because of her collaboration with co-founders in the founding of the Betty Ford Center (BFC).

Entered treatment for alcohol and prescription drug abuse in 1978; BFC was founded in 1982.

Her openness contributed to long-term growth in alcoholism awareness, as seen in widespread acceptance of 12-step programs and increased sales of the Big Book during the 1980s.
