Black Bear Lodge Treatment Center is a midsize health care provider focused on addiction treatment, based in Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia. Its program centers on individualized plans that address patients' physical, spiritual, mental and emotional needs to support sustained recovery. The treatment approach blends established therapies—DBT, CBT, EMDR and ACT—with experiential modalities such as adventure therapy, art therapy and yoga, and includes psychoeducational groups, family work, grief support, nutrition and wellness education, plus individual therapy with a master’s-level clinician and group sessions for peer support. The center offers sub-acute detox services and physician-directed medication management, with medical staff generally comprising independent practitioners rather than employees, and it maintains membership in Foundations Recovery Network. In December 2024, press coverage noted the organization invested in 24 permanent supportive housing units, reflecting expansion of its asset base.
