About Bear River Health Gaylord
Bear River Health (BRH) provides treatment for substance use disorders using residential programs tailored to gender in northwest Lower Michigan. The Gaylord campus features a structured four-week women’s program for those dealing with alcohol or drug addiction, including opioid use. In addition, BRH offers outpatient and outreach services for both men and women, with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) available to help sustain recovery over the long term.
Within the residential programs, BRH follows the evidence-based Living in Balance curriculum. The schedule includes daily group meetings and classes focused on relapse prevention. Participants also receive one-on-one counseling, address underlying trauma, strengthen coping and life skills, and create individualized recovery plans. Overall, the center’s care plan is designed to promote healing across multiple dimensions—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual—through a combination of clinical services, peer support, and wellness-oriented activities.
