About CooperRiis at Asheville

CooperRiis is a residential treatment program for adults with addiction and mental health disorders located in Asheville, North Carolina. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of these issues through a comprehensive approach.

You’ll be expected to maintain sobriety throughout your time in this program. They offer a supportive peer network to help with this process. They do not offer detox services or specifically address dual diagnoses, but their emphasis on primary mental health issues allows them to provide vital support if you have a co-occurring disorder.

You must have completed prior addiction treatment and maintained sobriety for 60 to 90 days to be eligible for treatment here. This requirement ensures that you’re prepared for the program’s demands and can fully engage in the integrated support they offer.
You’ll receive an Individualized treatment plan that addresses both mental health and substance use disorders. The multidisciplinary team of coaches, dietitians, psychiatrists and specialists exchange ideas and strategies. This team approach enables tailored interventions that respect your unique needs and recovery goals.

Psychoeducation is a crucial part of encouraging empowerment during recovery. In therapy led processing groups, you can openly discuss the challenges you’ve faced due to substance use. These discussions not only promote understanding but also the growth of strong peer support networks. Recovery groups can help you create personalized realistic plans for maintaining positive interactions after the program concludes.

Their drug and alcohol free residential campuses offer a supportive environment that emphasizes sobriety. During treatment you’ll focus on maintaining limited use or abstinence, finding coping mechanisms and accessing supportive resources to promote long term wellbeing.

Once you complete treatment they may provide aftercare services. These are designed to encourage long term success in sobriety. They may include continued counseling, support groups and referrals to community resources.

Was recommended by Sweeten Creek Mental Health and Wellness who turned me down because they didn t have faith that I could drive 30min to their facility everyday(my commute to work is longer than that). I had high hopes for getting into CooperRiis and my health insurance doesn t cover it. I was sent a very rude email with zero compassion or options. I am stuck back at square one and have already been through enough trauma in 2 weeks. This is what s wrong with mental health care in our country. I wish I hadn t spent so much time hurrying to get info to admissions just to be turned down so quickly.

I'm sorry you feel that you had a bad experience with us. This is something we take seriously. Please contact me at Eric.Levine@CooperRiis.org so we can discuss the situation. I did some looking into this and I think there is more to the story regarding insurance, please contact me.

Location

Accepted Insurance

CooperRiis at Asheville works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Accreditations

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a non-profit organization that specifically accredits rehab organizations. Founded in 1966, CARF's, mission is to help service providers like rehab facilities maintain high standards of care.

CARF Accreditation: Yes

A lot more privacy at the Asheville location which meant more productiveness for me, being mainly an introvert. Would only recommend going and getting help if you need it or think you need it. Don't let someone force you to do something you don't want to do, but at least be productive with your time if you do go there. Great gardening experiences to say the least, and staff was moderately to highly helpful. Campfires are awesome. Respect was received and was given. Thank you for helping me grow up physically and emotionally. Best wishes -spud

If you're wealthy and looking to dump money into a place that will coddle you, victimize you, violate you, and have inexperienced medical professionals care for you, this is the place to be. Otherwise, steer clear.

Response from the owner1 year ago
We are sorry that you had a bad experience and feel that we are just for the wealthy. Please contact our CEO Eric Levine at Eric.Levine@cooperriis.org. He would very much like to talk with you about your experience.

The facility itself seems great for 18-25yr olds, the daily schedule closely resembles that of a school schedule, making this appropriate for younger adults. The concept of this facility is great, however I think they have lost the main mission of why it was established in the first place. The major con I had with this facility is that it is exactly the same as every other program/facility out there disguised as something different. It is also very expensive ($20,000+/month). The staff were generally decent, you could tell who was there for the right reasons and who wasn t. Overall I wouldn t put this facility on the top nor would I put it on the bottom.Pro: good vibe for teens/y.adults access to entire campus/independence most staff careCon: the food is horrible (cafeteria mediterranean) your SOL on weekends nursing skills extremely limited $$$ push meds (not holistic)

Hi Janae, we are so sorry you did not have a great experience overall in the time you were with us, but we appreciate the kind words you do have for us. Please reach out to us if you'd like to discuss further.

As a psychiatrist and therapist, I truly value the CooperRiis treatment program. They have created a truly magical, healing place through community, competent care, and nurturing relationships. Their programming allows residents to grow psychologically and socially. I appreciate the continuum of care CooperRiis offers, knowing that if a patient needs intensive residential services before they can take advantage of the freedom the Farm campus and community living offer, they will be well taken care of.

Thank you so much for your validation and support of CooperRiis. It means so much to us, our staff, and programming, and to me personally. Lisbeth Riis Cooper, vice chair and co-founder.

I am not a patient, i am a visitor. I had been a mental health worker for 12 years, and a healthcare worker for 20 now. I went to cooper Riis to stay with a friend, who was an employee and lived on the campus.I would like to say, as a mental health professional that has worked in numerous facilities, public and private, profit and non profit, around the nation, that this was by far the best facility I have seen or been to. In a field where abuse is all too common, where pharmacology is the primary method of treatment, where funding is absolutely abysmal, this facility was a gem, a real surprise and treat.There was actual process work and therapeutic treatment going on, rather than coloring books and crayons. The facilities and grounds were beautiful, peaceful and welcoming, rather than cold and sterile. And the staff were great, progressive and happy to be there.Peaceful, beautiful mountain setting, excellent food cooked by a great chef, African drumming and hoola hoops. I may check myself in for a few weeks! I was very happy to see a place that offered all the care and support that I ve seen missing from so many other places.....at 1/3 the cost or less of most of the places I ve worked. Thank you.Please feel free to share this review on your website.

Too snarky on the admissions side a little rude and condescending knowing what I was going through; if you are snarky, be gentle, not high and mighty ( I was going through cancer)! You have one star!

Response from the owner3 years ago
Brett, please reach out to Eric Levine, our president Eric.levine@CooperRiis.org to see how we could have handled your call differently. We strive to do a good job for everyone, and if we don't, we need to learn from you.
