Bear River Health

This place is ok once you have your head wrapped around sobriety. Some of the facilitators were really helpful. Some parts of the website are a complete lie. I was even told by staff it is just for marketing. This place isn’t on Walloon Lake. They can walk you to the public beach on the lake, it depends on the facilitator. The thing about WIFI is a joke you can’t have anything to use the WIFI with unless you are at the detox building. I was assured on the phone that I would be able to have access to my phone at times to handle personal affairs. For example divorce attorney, home sales, and things of that nature. Not a chance! Talk to your case manager they say. Then they will tell you it is out of their hands. I would like to thank Keith, Ryan, Jeremiah and Flip. They did a great job with me. If you are homeless and don’t have anything going on outside of life other than court hearing and medical visits it would be a fine place to go to get a fresh start. If you have any type of life with adult responsibilities I would find somewhere else to go. You should also plan on 3 people per room. The beds are ok and with the right roommates it can be clean. Overall you can get sober there with the right attitude. Don’t be fooled by the picture of a single bed in a room and the picture of the condo on the lake. That is not a Bear River Health building. In whole it is just as rough as any rehab with the same problems. Very disappointed in the way it is marketed but I did get sober there. Watch your clothes in the laundry room or they may walk off. That’s the real story of Bear River!

I am so grateful for what BRH provided to me regarding tools, coping skills, and a comfortable environment to gain knowledge. My life will forever be changes and most definitely for the better. There is always opportunities to grow and learn and for BRH it is no different. Yet in my experience, maximum effort was put in by every team member and across the board! Thank you BRH for holding me steady as I began this new life. I am eternally grateful! Thank you!

I truly cannot articulate in words how grateful I am for this facility! I was in active addiction for 20+ years, I completed the 90 day program. I've been to several facilities and I recommend this one over any I've been to. I genuinely can say that BRH has saved my life, The staff was very kind, everyone I came in contact with there was professional and seemed to care about my wellbeing. I since transitioned to a sober living house and I could not be happier with the progress I've made in my recovery. Thank you so very much Bear River Health !!

Bear River is AMAZING. Going there was the best choice I ever made, it changed my life. The energy all around is so beautiful words cannot describe. Staff there actually care about the residents, and assist with each and every resident to work towards accomplishing the next step in the right direction to obtaining the coping skills that help many in successfully living in long term recovery. I would recommend to anyone to go to The Bear. If you let it, it will change your life.
