About Camp Baer

Despite its name, Camp Baer is not a traditional camp. It is a premier residential substance use disorder treatment center located in a chalet-style lodge nestled within the wooded mountains of West Virginia.

Designed to provide a private, restorative environment for healing, Camp Baer delivers high-quality, evidence-based substance use disorder and behavioral health treatment to individuals from across the country. The setting combines exceptional clinical care with the tranquility and privacy of a retreat-style environment.

Camp Baer is part of Wise Path Recovery Centers, operated by Ascension Recovery Services. Together, we provide integrated behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment grounded in evidence-based clinical practices and a commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.

Our culture is built around kindness, teamwork, empathy, integrity, excellence, and being deeply mission-driven. We believe exceptional outcomes begin with exceptional people, and we are intentionally building a team that shares that commitment.

Why Join Camp Baer?

Camp Baer offers the opportunity to help build something meaningful from the ground up. As a member of our opening team, you will have the opportunity to:

• Help launch a brand-new residential behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment program opening in late 2026.
• Help build and develop a high-performing, mission-driven clinical team.
• Establish a strong therapeutic culture centered on safety, dignity, accountability, compassion, and recovery.

For professionals who want more than simply stepping into an established program, Camp Baer provides the opportunity to help create the culture, standards, and patient experience that will define the facility for years to come.
