Our Mission

Our mission at Black Bear Lodge is to equip individuals with the tools they need to build their own lives in recovery.

We specialize in treating addiction and mental health issues in the same setting, and our fully integrated services are designed to meet the specific needs of each individual. We believe that every person has the ability to change and heal, and we meet patients where they are with an attitude of acceptance and non-judgment.

At Black Bear Lodge, patients are encouraged to rediscover themselves and find new motivation to live a healthy, full life. They are empowered to live bigger than their diagnoses, to find satisfaction and fulfillment outside of self-medicating with drugs, alcohol or compulsive behaviors. We help patients learn new coping skills and find the confidence to overcome life’s challenges.

Located in northern Georgia, Black Bear Lodge serves patients from across the state and around the world. It is a place of solace from the chaos that substance abuse and mental health issues can bring into a person’s life.
