At Black Bear Lodge, our goal is to motivate and enlighten you on your journey to recovery. Since recovery is a lifelong venture, we want to reaffirm you with encouragement to both start and continue on that path.
Here we have provided some inspiring essays and videos contributed to us by renowned poet-philosopher Noah benShea. We hope you are empowered by Noah’s reflections on the atmosphere of healing and peace at Black Bear Lodge. Freedom from addiction and the healthy management of mental health conditions is possible, but you have to take the first step to seek help—and we can take that first step with you. Black Bear Lodge is a place of hope, a place to embrace positive change and to discover the opportunity to live a powerful life in recovery.
We are inspired by Noah’s words, by our beautiful environment and, most of all, by you.
