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.

Help launch a brand-new residential behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment program opening in November 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.
Help shape nursing workflows, patient care practices, programming, and the overall patient experience.
