A Therapeutic Setting in the Mountains
Located on what was once a luxury mountain resort, Black Bear offers a peaceful, remote campus in Georgia’s forested hills. Residents live in shared cabins, take part in group meals, and spend time outdoors surrounded by trees and wildlife. The atmosphere supports emotional openness and physical recovery—enhanced by the natural surroundings and amenities like hiking trails and yoga.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment with Medical Depth
The facility specializes in treating adults with both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. The facility is among the small percentage of residential programs (just 13.1% nationwide) that offer buprenorphine sub-dermal implants—a long-acting option that supports relapse prevention for clients who may struggle with daily medication adherence. This rare capability reflects the facility’s commitment to providing medically comprehensive care from early withdrawal through long-term stabilization.
Family Involvement and Real-World Recovery Support
The facility recognizes that recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. Its comprehensive four-week family program helps loved ones understand addiction and co-occurring disorders as well as how to navigate codependency, boundaries, and aftercare planning. This family-centered approach is part of a broader commitment to long-term stability. Clients benefit from coordinated case management, structured aftercare planning, and outcome follow-up after discharge—all designed to support real-life transitions. Whether it’s managing medications, rebuilding support systems, or staying grounded in early recovery, Black Bear’s extended support services help clients and families move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
Reviews
With a 3.8-star average across more than 160 Google reviews, Black Bear Lodge earns high praise for its peaceful setting and compassionate care. Alumni frequently call the experience “life-changing.” Some critique the detox process as rigid or express concerns about insurance-linked discharge timing, but most describe the program as deeply supportive and worth the investment.
