Black Bear Lodge

Black Bear Lodge Black Bear Lodge is a haven of solace dedicated to providing those suffering from substance use. Model representations of real patients are shown.

Our program focuses on addressing all the concerns that a patient brings to treatment; we meet people where they are, developing comprehensive, individualized plans and allowing patients to create and achieve their personal goals in recovery. We partner with each person and guide him or her through an evidence-based integrated treatment process that is designed to treat core needs in a thorough, h

olistic way. Therapeutic elements of our program include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Processing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other time-tested modalities. We also provide adventure therapy, art therapy and yoga alongside psychoeducational groups, family therapy, grief/loss sessions and nutrition and wellness sessions. Each patient will receive individual therapy time with a master’s level therapist and group therapy sessions that offer valuable peer support and processing time. Our program is structured to address a person’s physical, spiritual, mental and emotional needs, creating the foundation for lifelong recovery. Black Bear Lodge also provides sub-acute detox services, physician-directed medication management and intervention assistance. Black Bear Lodge is proud to be a member of Foundations Recovery Network.

Slow down. Breathe. Recover. 🏔️☀️

In the mountains, there’s a different pace. A quieter rhythm. A chance to step away from the noise and focus on what matters most.

From afternoons by the pool, to peaceful moments on the cabin deck, nourishing meals, mountain views and time spent simply rocking and reflecting, recovery has room to breathe here.

Recovery doesn't take a vacation. As summer gatherings and social events increase, having a plan can make all the difference. Practice saying "no," choose alcohol-free options, connect with your support network and always have an exit strategy if needed. Your recovery comes first.

Recovery is more than leaving substances behind—it’s about discovering the beauty, purpose and connection that life has to offer.

Our off-campus hikes give patients the opportunity to step away from the everyday, breathe in the fresh mountain air and experience the healing power of nature.

We’re grateful to call the North Georgia mountains home.
