Black Bear Lodge Treatment Center
Black Bear Lodge is a place of solace and healing for those suffering from addiction and mental health issues. We are a residential treatment center offering a comprehensive integrated program that addresses the needs of the whole person—mind, body and spirit. Patients can self-reflect and find strength for life change amid the beauty of the expansive sky and the natural tranquility that characterizes our location. Black Bear Lodge practices the award-winning Foundations Recovery Network model of treatment. We combine evidence-based addiction treatment with innovative therapies for emotional and mental health to address co- occurring disorders effectively. Patients who have experienced the FRN treatment model are twice as likely to maintain sobriety one year post-treatment as compared those who have attended traditional programs. Because Black Bear Lodge is part of the Foundations Recovery Network family of treatment centers, we are able to provide continuing care for patients graduating from our residential programs. Located nearby in central Georgia, Foundations Atlanta offers patients a place to attend Intensive Outpatient Program sessions as they step back into everyday life and continue the work of recovery. Our story is simple: We have found a place where wounds heal, life is rediscovered and hope is renewed. Come write your story with us. (888) 374-5724
