About Bear River Health Gaylord

Bear River Health (BRH) treats substance use disorders through gender-specific residential programs in northwest Lower Michigan. Their Gaylord campus offers a focused four-week residential program for women struggling with alcohol or drug addiction, including opioids. BRH also provides outpatient and outreach services for both men and women, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to support long-term recovery.
In the residential programs, BRH uses the evidence-based Living in Balance curriculum, which includes daily group sessions and relapse prevention classes. Clients receive individual therapy, work through trauma and life skills, and develop personalized recovery plans. Their approach supports healing in all areas like mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual through a blend of clinical care, peer support, and wellness-focused activities.
