The hardest thing we have ever had to do is drop off our daughter at BCW. We could not have asked for a more caring group of professionals that took care of her and guided her in learning about herself and her brought her back to health. BCW helped our whole family. We will always be grateful for the kind and caring individuals that worked with our daughter and with us to support us in such a difficult time. From the first day through all the trials, transitions and triumphs, they are there to guide and support. I could not imagine where we would have been without BCW. I would highly recommend this program to anyone struggling with eating disorders.

I highly recommend backcountry wellness for eating disorder treatment. The staff are very professional and knowledgeable about this mental condition. They demonstrated they care about my daughter's mental health and responded in a timely manner all our requests and concerns. I could see the difference on my daughter when she stepped out from the program. I will be forever grateful to therapists Hannah, Julie and dietitian Rebecca for their assistance, care and compassion. The nurse Zana was also of great help. Thank you so much!!!

Could not recommend BCW more highly (residential, php and iop). Compassionate and thoroughly competent staff across the board. They made the entire process as smooth, rewarding, and effective as possible (for parents and kid alike). They listened to our needs and questions with weekly check-ins and generous email and phone contact. We were intimately involved every step of the way, but could also relax and trust that child's needs were fully taken care of. BCW combined intense group and individual therapy with all manner of fun adventures, activities and outings - all part of their philosophy of life-long skill-building, confidence, and transformation. And all in an warm, homey, highly-supportive environment. Two huge thumbs up.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

There are not enough words (or tissues) to fully express how deeply grateful we are to Backcountry Wellness. During the most painful and uncertain time in our lives, they were there, not just as professionals, but as people who genuinely cared. When everything felt overwhelming, they were a steady, compassionate presence. No matter the day or time, someone was always there to listen, guide, and offer support. When we had to make the heartbreaking decision that our daughter needed residential care, we were filled with fear, grief, and so many questions. BCW met us in that moment with such empathy and reassurance. They didn’t just help us through the process—they walked beside us every step of the way. Most importantly, we could breathe knowing our daughter was safe, supported, and surrounded by people who genuinely cared. The facility itself is beautiful—warm, calm, and thoughtfully maintained. The bedrooms are warm, comfortable, and personalized, helping clients feel more at home during a time that can be especially overwhelming. There’s a sense of home and dignity in every detail. Our daughter found comfort in things like yoga and art therapy, and her group even started a garden together. When she was ready, she helped in the kitchen—small moments that brought her joy and a sense of connection during her healing. The meals were nourishing and thoughtfully planned and prepared, not just physically but emotionally—made with intention, care, and variety. And the staff... we will never forget them. Dr. B met with us on Memorial Day—because when your child is in crisis, there are no days off. The therapists were incredibly kind and skilled. The dietitians were patient and informative. The care coaches were the quiet heroes, connecting with kids in authentic and positive ways. The chef brought comfort in every meal. Each person at BCW made a lasting impact on our daughter and us as a family. As parents, we were included and supported throughout the process. We were taught about FBT and eating disorders in ways that were empowering, not overwhelming. We received guidance on meals, and we had weekly support groups that provided a space for us to breathe, learn, and heal. Backcountry Wellness isn’t just a treatment center—it’s a place of hope, healing, and heart. It changed our lives. It helped bring our daughter back to herself. It will always hold a place in our hearts.

Backcountry wellness is an extremely unique place. Of course, I don’t mean that in a bad way! This place literally saved my life. Before I got into BCW, I was in a horrific place. They took me in and cared for me in a supportive, caring, and safe environment. I have NEVER met kinder, funnier, and more supportive people ( staff & clients). Shout out to Zana, Roxanna, Rebecca, Angelica,Chef Lauren, Katherine, Jackie, and Taylor. They supported me through hard meals, horrid body image days, and even on my good days. I’ve been through the residential twice, three times in PHP and IOP twice, Not once did they give up on me! They supported my parents and my whole family I am extremely grateful for that. BCW allowed me to get my personality, help me laugh again, and get my life back. They gave me skills to help me combat ED thoughts and urges. The program also gave me some of the greatest, most supportive friends. I am forever thankful for everyone and especially all of my “milieu. “ For every person who is reading this thinking about going to BCW or is in BCW now remember you are in control of your recovery. There is so much more than being occupied by food, body, and calories. I can’t believe how much my life changed for the better in this past year. Thank you to all the staff and friends I met 💕 YOU HAVE TO NOURISH TO FLOURISH!!!!

Backcountry is a beacon of hope and healing! Our experience with this treatment facility was nothing short of life-changing for our son and, frankly, for our entire family. From the moment we entrusted our son to their care, the team at Backcountry embraced us with open arms. They were nothing short of amazing, becoming like an extended family to all of us. Navigating this challenging time felt impossible at times, but the unwavering support and dedication of the Backcountry team were our constant anchors. Anything we needed, at any moment, they were there. Whether it was a question, a concern, or simply needing reassurance, their responsiveness and genuine care were truly remarkable. We felt heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. When it was time for our son to transition home, it was a bittersweet moment. Saying goodbye to the incredible staff who had become such a vital part of his healing journey was difficult for him, a testament to the profound connections he forged there. I truly believe that without the help of Backcountry, we would still be struggling to help our son. Instead, he is now thriving! We have witnessed such positive growth and transformation, and we are eternally grateful for the guidance and expertise of the entire Backcountry team. Choosing a treatment facility for your child is one of the most difficult decisions a parent can make. From the bottom of our hearts, we can wholeheartedly say: THIS is the place you want to choose. Backcountry provides not just treatment, but a truly caring and supportive environment where healing and growth flourish. Thank you, Backcountry, for giving our son his life back and for becoming such an important part of our lives.

We feel so fortunate to have found Back Country. In such an emotional and difficult time, Back Country was not only there for our daughter but for my husband and I as well.. They are patient, educational and helped our daughter understand the importance of nutrition and health in her life. She now walks around with a new sense of confidence and understanding of how important nutrition effects your mood, energy and overall well being. Her team was top notch there and for that we are grateful.

My daughter was part of the IOP program at BCW. She was more than unsure about it before she started, however by the end of the program she didn't want to leave! We are very appreciative of the care, support and attention our entire family was given during her time at BCW. It was the best thing that could have happened for all of us.

Their personalized care of their patients and families is beyond measure. The entire team has gotten to know the unique needs of my daughter and our family. With their assistance we are all on the road to recovery.

I had called several places referred by my daughter’s pediatrician. before Backcountry Wellness. Most of them I got a no answer, or not accepting an 11 year old patient. BCW was my last call. Thank goodness I made this call and didn’t give up! Dr.B answered the phone herself! I had suspicions that my daughter might have had an eating disorder according to a post of hers to friends. Dr.B was very accommodating to our needs for an appointment. During the intake appointment Dr.B was very gentle and compassionate and still able to directly dig in with honest questions. At the end, Dr.B determined my daughter didn’t have a problem. Of course I felt at ease since she’s an expert on this subject. I then expected to be directed to Miss Marrisa to deal with the financials of the appointment. No one does anything for free. Surprisingly, Dr. B charged me nothing for the visit. I am forever grateful for her time and counsel. Will definitely keep her in mind if anyone I know needs this kind of help!

Im not sure words can explain how BCW has changed our lives forever. My daughter’s life was saved by everyone involved with their knowledge, and understanding of my child’s needs. Our daughter spent over 3 months in residential care and even though this was the hardest decision we have ever made as parents, it was the best choice for our daughter. The ENTIRE staff were angels, they gave her the kind of care we were unable and not knowledgeable enough to give at the time to help her on her wellness journey. They provided a safe space to heal, they were tough and stern when they needed to be and always gave a loving touch and gentle words when that was needed as well. Not only did they support our daughter, but us parents as well. We were educated on how to help our daughter which gave us the confidence we so desperately needed when it was time to bring her home. Our concerns were heard, we were allowed to voice our feeling's without fear of judgement. They truly are masters of their craft and all had the same goal in mind. I will never be able to thank them enough for saving our girl and bringing her back to us. We will always hold a special place in our hearts for all. Highly recommend Backcountry wellness.
