What Our Patients Say About Us

Staff, consisting of counselors and class instructirs friendly and genuine. The day consists of a constructed itinerary and following the Rules should be followed. Like no vaping. I mean if you're going to sneak why are you even going to rehab. The team leaders of the classes share their own experience which made it a more comfortable atmosphere knowing that they may have gone through the same struggles that we have gone through or are going through. I really like the aftercare program because I can call at any time and discuss anything with one of the staff members. Respect of others is a necessity as you live in close range of each other and keep your hands on your own stuff. The food was always tasty and plentifu, dining hall ladiesl are outstanding. It was a comfortable, safe environment for me to be in at a time where I was troubled.

I have been utilizing Bear River's services since 2019 and without them I would not be where I am today. I came to them broken and lost, they have helped me regain my sobriety and have given me to tools needed to be happy and successful. I have made strong personal bonds with the staff and have them on my speed dial. If you are searching for a better life choose bear river, if I can do it, anyone can! Thank you!

Bear River changed my life. This facility offers an experience unlike any I’ve been to in the past. The staff go above and beyond to make it an interactive, positive, and safe space. Alexis was my clinician and I can’t say enough great things about her, she made therapy sessions fun and shes extremely caring about her clients.

If you ever have to go through the experience of sorting out a recovery program under stressful situations I hope you are lucky enough to come in contact with Andrea. She was my introduction to Bear River Health after it was recommended by friends. We laughed we cried and the entire experience seemed kinder and smoother than I had ever hoped. She helped me navigate my insurance woes and handled my intake as well as eased anxiety. Ahhhhndrea

My stay at bear river has been the best experience of my life. The structure is exactly what I needed to get better. Ryan and Amy are amazing as is all the staff. They give you what you need to live and teach you the tools to achieve life long sobriety. I would recommend Bear River Health to anybody for their treatment needs.

My experience couldn't have gone any better honestly. Bear river health is everything I wanted and needed in a treatment center. You have to really want to put it the work but BRH gives you the materials and the resources to do so. All the staff really cares and are definitely fair to all clients. I highly recommend this facility to anyone serious about recovery. Hats off to Ryan for being a solid leader. Can't say enough positives about the staff. What stands in the way becomes the way!

I had reached rock bottom, addicted to meth and heroin. This program will pick u up from anywhere in Michigan. They are really out here saving lives. The teacher Flip taught me things I will use the rest of my life to stay clean. Lexi is an amazing clinician. I went thru 5 days in detox, the staff there was amazing as well. They checked my vitals before giving me meds ensure my safety. They managed to make withdrawal comfortable. Well as comfortable as it has ever been in my whole life anyways. I slept alot. The detox food was ok but the food in inpatient residential was well above average. Big meals, good cooks, and the kitchen is full of healthy choices and not so healthy foods that are basically available all day til bedtime. Something for everyone to enjoy in the kitchen cereal and milk, ramen, fruits, leftovers from the 3 meals they make each day, desserts are common. They provide after care too. I'm past 30 days clean from IV use of meth and heroin. I stopped counting. I changed my whole life in a month thanks to bear river. Shout out to Tiana in housing for getting me into bear rivers sober living house. It's beautiful here the girls I live with now didn't have to take me job hunting or to work, but they did and I have the best job I've ever had in my entire life now. The therapist thru bear river gave me a ride to after I got out of Inpatient, helped me get food and bus vouchers. Community up here is really supportive of my recovery. I'm a lifer now. Bear river has not only saved my life but it's now a part of me and I'm passionate about my new bear river family. I can never express how much gratitude I feel for the entire staff, the girls who got clean along side me and the owner. I don't know if Eric will read this, but Sir your generous contributributions to Bear river are making a difference. I will thank God for you often. I won't post your full name because I know you don't donate for recognition. I had to thank you though for being part of the amazing life changing movement at bear river. Not only do I have hope for my future I have confidence for the first time in my life that I am stronger than addiction. I talk with my mother everyday now and she is grateful u saved my life too. My heart is full of love for bear river health. Shout-out to Danielle too. And all the techs who run around making us ladies a priority. If u are thinking about rehab for the first time or if you've been to several treatment centers and none work, bear river could be want you need. I know it was just what I needed. Now that I've wrote a book ... Lol I'm gonna sleep good so I can get up for church in the am.
