Bear River Health

Bear River Health runs withdrawal management, residential treatment, partial hospitalization and outpatient care across northern Michigan, with gender-separated campuses — men at Walloon Lake and Boyne Falls, women at Gaylord — and an admissions center at Boyne Falls. Medical staff are on site 24 hours and work to SAMHSA evidence-based protocols, and the program is accredited by The Joint Commission. Its medication-assisted treatment covers all FDA-approved medications except methadone, which is worth knowing before applying if methadone is what you are stabilized on. Michigan Medicaid is accepted from specific counties and regions, with navigators who help clients apply; people who do not qualify can self-pay or be assessed for income-based payment. Medicare, private and military insurance and state funding are also accepted.
