About Bluff
At Bluff, recovery is more than a series of meetings. It’s a vibrant process of continued learning, character development, and restored relationships, supported by relapse prevention skills. Bluff helps people with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders with medically supervised detox, residential care, and step-down support through a day treatment program (PHP). Set on 178 acres near Augusta (home of The Masters), Bluff welcomes patients from Charleston, Savannah, and Myrtle Beach.
Combine Skills-Based and Experiential Healing
Bluff blends evidence-based clinical care with immersive, experiential therapies to help patients build stability for long-term recovery. In individual, group, and family sessions, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change destructive thought patterns while dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) builds distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation. Equine-assisted therapy, gardening, art, and movement use hands-on methods to build insight, connection, and self-expression.
Restore Energy with Nature and Nutrition
Clients stay in on-campus cottages designed for comfort and calm on Bluff’s 178-acre destination campus just outside Augusta. Much of daily life happens outdoors, with nature trails, ample outdoor seating, live oaks, and expansive green space for mindfulness, movement, and reflection. Bluff also offers a high-engagement ropes course, a large on-site horse barn, and culinary excellence with a professional chef and nutrition therapy.
Reinforce Progress with an Alumni Network
Bluff supports long-term recovery with aftercare planning that keeps clients connected through continued individual and group therapy, relapse-prevention strategies for triggers and daily stressors, and community support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). A vibrant alumni network extends accountability and fellowship. Aftercare can include life skills training in communication, time management, and financial planning, plus family education and sober living guidance in Augusta when helpful.
