They offer inpatient detox, outpatient care, and residential rehab in a peaceful setting where animal interaction adds a gentle layer to healing. The campus feels safe and calming, helping people begin recovery with dignity and care, surrounded by nature and a team that truly understands what they’re going through.

Build Strength Through Support

Blake Recovery Center also provides group and family sessions to help people feel connected and supported. Alumni programs and family support groups continue after treatment, both in person and online, so recovery doesn’t stop at discharge — it grows with community, understanding, and shared strength.

Review from Rehabs.com

Overall the facility was good, did have a bit of an issue when detoxing that involve me having to be taken to a traditional hospital. The staff was a little bit reluctant with that part of my care, because they didn't want to have to send me to the hospital so I did find that irritating that they would allow me to get as bad as I did before they took me to a hospital. But eventually they did everything was sorted out and I detox effectively. Despite that small incident the staff was very very friendly and very kind and very understanding. They did not treat patients with a sense of Shame or judgement. And that alone is enough to make a facility acceptable.The facility's strength includes a very professional staff and quick turnover. Facilities weakness was that there was a lot of down time and nothing to do but sit outside.

Doctor was inattentive. Bad experience and aftercare not intense enough. Child Relapsed due to the addiction they said did not exist. Campus is quiet. Rooms are clean. The staff is nothing special.

Very nurturing. Great staff. Lots of meetings for counseling and recovery. I loved the facility but found one of the doctors to be more interested in talking or texting on her phone than paying attention to me. After a complaint by several patients the problem was alleviated however. I would highly recommend this facility. I learned a lot from the program and left feeling I had the knowledge needed to help myself stay in recovery.

Review from Rehabs.com

One of the worst experiences of my life. Accomodations (3 to a room and group bathrooms) were the worst. The nursing staff was inattentive to individual patients medical as well as emotional needs. All ages were grouped together, as well as those who wanted to be there for help and those who were court ordered. While outside on frequent "breaks" I learned more about illicit drug usage including where and when to get whatever one might want. I had never heard of half of that stuff before. No supervision while outside so patients who wanted to be positive had no choice but to listen to these kids who had no desire to change. The doctors were a JOKE. Especially the medical doctors who used a stethescope to listen to my lungs and heart which never actually touched my skin. I actually heard nurses (RN's) negatively talking about me when I was standing right there. Unqualified people leading groups,who were on a power trip. Would never recommend this facility to anyone that I cared about. I must say that the food and dining room was excellent. and the grounds were beautiful. But, that's not what I was there for.

Well trained facility on a beautiful campus. Very expensive care. Have many approaches to individual care that involve one on one and group sessions. Family and friend involvement is encouraged.
