Care Options

Levels of Care

Everyone's recovery journey is unique. Whether it looks like residential rehab for 30 days, an outpatient program, or virtual therapy, you can find a level of care that fits your needs.
Detox
Typically the initial stage of treatment for substance use, focusing on medically supervised management of withdrawal symptoms.
Residential Rehab
Offering intensive care with 24/7 monitoring, residential substance use treatment is typically 30 days. Length can range from 14 to 90 days.
Sober Living
Transitional housing designed to support individuals recovering from substance use disorders offering a safe, supportive and structured environment for practicing long-term sobriety, while reintegrating back into daily living.

Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Virtual & In-Home Care
The delivery of therapeutic services utilizing technology such as video conferencing, online messaging or phone calls, allowing for flexibility, comfort and increased access to care.
Co-Occurring Mental Health
Treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders, which affect the majority of individuals diagnosed, integrates care for mental health conditions with primary substance use. Personalized care plans are crafted to effectively address each condition simultaneously, optimizing the healing process.
Interventionists

Review from Rehabs.com

Simply the best! This facility provides a Faith Based program. Green Group. When Dr. Bill and Bob first established the idea for the 12 step program in the 1930's, they made step 2. Came to believe that a higher power could restore us to Sanity. When they created this step, they were praying to the Same Jesus Christ that we of Green Group do everyday. I can only speak for myself, and the Green Group Facilitators are the Best on that compound, Steven and Flip. For them, and a lot of the other staff too, are very passionate about their jobs. Because of them I am able to see first hand the fruits of life of sobriety. They simply give us the material, and its up to us to do the work. I came into Bear River a broken and scared man. I was scared that the damage from my drug use was permanent as I struggled to read with comprehension for the first week or so. I absolutely refused to accept my condition and with the proper motivation from the Staff I worked my program with full ferocity. I got introduced to Jesus Christ and he answered my prayers, or maybe he seen my commitment and diligent works and Blessed me a little along the way. He restored my mind, spirit and along with my body. I chose to apply a simple motto that is a relatedly read in the 12 literature and that is "One day at a Time". And I learned at Bear River that today is all that we really have. And if this were to be my last day on this planet then how do I want to spend it? And I couldn't think of another appropriate way besides giving thanks to Jesus for allowing me to have another 24 hours of life and working as hard as I can to rectify the damage that I allowed addiction to take on me. Also, the drug use was just a symptom of something else. I discovered that I was a manic depressive with severe abandonment issues. And all of these personal revelations for self improvement are an attribution from The Bear River Program and from the Leaders of Green Group. Thank you Steven for always demanding realness and always calling my bullshit to push me forward, thank you Flip for being the educated man that you are and by working a job you are passionate about, Thank you Reggie for allowing me to be apart of your process, Thank you Mr. Dave for always keeping it real, Thank you Liana in the Med line for holding me accountable and giving me a hard time when I wanted to take a suboxone, that moment was defining in my recovery and it is because of you that I had the strength to say I don't need it! Thank you Mr. Dan for helping me with problems, Ruth ann and Wendy you are the best, The entire Tech Staff for putting up with a bunch of grown man children and always keeping your cool, Mr. Matt L you have developed and maintained a place that breaks the stigma that comes attached with being an addict, you have put you heart and soul into this facility and it shows. Thank you everyone for allowing my miracle to happen. I still have long road to walk and a ton of mistakes to fix but I am now more capable to deal with life on life's terms. You guys give hope to the hopeless and lead by example. I no longer cry "Why ME?" Because of Bear River I now say "Try ME!" God Bless all of you there and keep doing what you do. Love and Respect.

Let me first say i've been to treatment multiple times....and BRH is a special place. There are multiple pathways to recovery and Bear river supports them all. I would not change my past, because it made me the man I am today. I do wish I would of stumbled(a little AA humor) upon this center earlier in my life. I would not have wasted sooo many years hiding my problems. Thanks, to everyone at Bear River I am now living my best life!

Bear River Health helped refresh the tools I had gained several years prior. I had a severe relapse with alcohol and as a single mom of 3 beautiful daughters I was miserable but physically couldn't stop drinking. The detox rooms were amazing and the nursing staff were beyond attentive and available to help me through the rough days. That was over 3 years ago. BRH teaches that there are many pathways to recovery as long as you have the willingness to do whatever it takes the tou can succeed too! Many of the staff members are recovering addicts/alcoholics which gives them a unique ability to understand and address your needs. The techs go above and beyond for the patients and help you with all the love and compassion they have. Bear River Health has been a desperately needed addition to the tip of the mitt!! So grateful they were here when I was headed for death. I feel blessed as an Alumni to have the opportunity to attend some meetings with current clients and show them it can be done and life is much more fun and enjoyable without drugs and alcohol. If you are seeking treatment Bear River Health at Walloon is the place to be.
