Bear Creek’s Programs
Recovery is a personal journey, and at Bear Creek, we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Our comprehensive programs offer a lifeline, whether you’re taking those first tentative steps towards sobriety or are further along in your recovery.
Drug & Alcohol Detox
We know that starting fresh can be daunting. Our medically supervised detox program provides a safe, supportive environment where you can comfortably rid your body of harmful substances.
Our team of medical professionals will monitor you around the clock, managing withdrawal symptoms and ensuring your safety and comfort as you begin your journey to sobriety. You’ll be surrounded by caring staff and a peaceful, natural environment to promote healing and relaxation.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
Sometimes, you need to step away from the triggers and distractions of daily life to focus solely on your recovery.
Our residential program immerses you in a structured, supportive environment where you can delve deep into therapy, explore the underlying causes of your addiction, and develop the skills and strategies needed to maintain lasting sobriety.
You’ll participate in individual and group therapy sessions and experiential therapies like art and music therapy and connect with others who understand your journey.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
For those who need an intensive nature based rehab but also value the flexibility of returning home each night, our partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers a balance of support and independence.
You’ll engage in a full day of therapy, including individual, group, and specialized sessions while maintaining connections to your family, work, and community.
Intervention Services
If you’re struggling with addiction, it can be hard to see the impact it’s having on your life and the lives of your loved ones. Denial and fear can make it difficult to reach out for help. Our compassionate intervention specialists understand these challenges and are here to support your family and friends through this difficult time.
We’ll guide them through the process of staging a loving intervention, offering resources and guidance to help them express their concerns in a way that’s both supportive and motivating. Our goal is to pave the way for open communication and encourage you to take the brave step towards recovery.
Family Programming
Addiction affects the entire family, not just the individual struggling with substance abuse. It can strain relationships, create emotional turmoil, and leave loved ones feeling helpless and confused. Our family program provides a safe and nurturing space for everyone involved to heal, learn, and grow together.
Through family therapy sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to express your feelings, work through unresolved issues, and rediscover the love and connection that may have been lost.
Educational workshops will provide you with a deeper understanding of addiction, its impact on the family system, and effective strategies for coping and support. In supportive group settings, you’ll connect with other families facing similar challenges, gaining strength and encouragement from their shared experiences.
12-Step Recovery
The 12-step model, a cornerstone of many successful recovery journeys, is integral to our program. We embrace the power of community and spirituality in the healing process, recognizing that recovery is not just about individual willpower but about finding support and connection with others who understand your struggles.
Our 12-step meetings, held regularly within the serene setting of our Montana ranch, offer a safe haven for you to share your story, listen to the experiences of others, and find hope and encouragement in the shared journey of recovery.
You’ll learn to rely on a higher power for strength and guidance, developing a spiritual foundation to sustain you through the challenges ahead.
Sober Living
After completing intensive treatment, transitioning back to independent living can be a vulnerable time. Our sober living homes provide a structured, supportive environment where you can practice your newfound sobriety skills, build healthy routines, and connect with a community of peers who are also committed to a sober lifestyle.
At Bear Creek, we believe in treating the whole person — not just the addiction. We address co-occurring mental health disorders, provide individualized therapy, and create a community of support that extends far beyond your time with us. Your recovery is a lifelong journey, and we’re committed to empowering you every step of the way.
The Bear Creek Experience
Life at Bear Creek is different. Every day is a chance to grow and heal. Your day might start with a peaceful meditation by the lake at sunrise, followed by a good breakfast with the other people staying here. In the morning, group therapy sessions give you a safe place to share what you’re going through and connect with others.
Later on, you might be lacing up your boots for a hike in the mountains, feeling that fresh air fill you up with energy. Or maybe you’ll spend the afternoon with one of our gentle horses, learning about trust and communicating better.
Evenings are for winding down and looking inward, whether through journaling by the campfire or just staring up at the incredible night sky. Throughout your stay, you’ll be surrounded by a community of people rooting for you—other residents, staff, and even the animals—all dedicated to helping you get better.
Bear Creek isn’t just a program. It’s a whole transformation. You’ll leave here with more than just the tools to stay sober; you’ll have new life skills, a renewed sense of purpose, and a deep connection to yourself and the natural world. And the wilderness will always have a special place in your heart, a reminder of your strength and resilience.
