About Black Bear Lodge
At the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Black Bear Lodge offers a retreat for clients seeking recovery from addiction. With options for residential and outpatient treatment and a focus on client-centered treatment, Black Bear’s team empowers clients to heal mind, body, and spirit in an inspiring, peaceful setting. Black Bear Lodge encourages clients to live bigger than their diagnosis– to find satisfaction and fulfillment outside of self-medication. Their programs are rooted in strong clinical methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and group counseling. At the same time, they embrace practices like yoga and mindfulness, as well as nature-based therapies like hiking, and zip-lining. Led by a multidisciplinary team, Black Bear’s personalized care is as effective as it is empathetic. Black Bear Lodge recognizes the pivotal role of family in the recovery process, so they provide family mediation services to guide families through healing, teaching effective communication and boundary-setting. Along with learning skills to produce a better family dynamic, the family learns to understand addiction’s impact and support their loved one without enabling them. They also learn to embrace acceptance as a crucial part of loving their family member well. Black Bear Lodge offers more than just treatment—it’s a retreat for renewal. Each room at the lodge is cozy, providing the perfect spaces for connection and relaxation. The lush forest surroundings invite clients to unwind with therapeutic hikes on scenic trails, where nature becomes part of the recovery process. From inviting indoor lounges including an on-site theater to tranquil outdoor spaces, Black Bear Lodge feels less like a facility and more like a haven.
