About Crest View Recovery Center
Crest View Recovery Center is a drug rehabilitation facility in Asheville, North Carolina. The programs here include a 90 day rehab program, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization services, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
The center is staffed with qualified mental health professionals, including counselors, therapists and psychiatrists. They utilized talk therapy with the goal of helping patients understand their addiction better and develop life skills to continue successful recovery. Staff members teach them to develop new relationships with themselves and others in their life.
The 90 day rehab program starts with detox which combines clinical therapy with medication assisted treatment to help deal with the symptoms of withdrawal. Clients have to participate in counseling and meet specific criteria to receive MAT.
The medication used to treat patients during detox is Suboxone, which is administered daily. The types of therapies provided at this facility include trauma therapy, recreational therapy and experiential therapy. Holistic treatment options are available for clients to participate in, such as yoga and meditation.
I like that they also provide gender specific group therapy to allow men and women to feel more comfortable being open and vulnerable about certain issues. A unique thing about Crest View Recovery Center is that they allow clients to bring their pets to the facility.
Many different types of pets are welcome as long as they meet the health and safety guidelines. The facility features outdoor spaces and staff members can provide assistance with feeding, walking and giving general care.
They are licensed by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and have an accreditation from The Joint Commission.

This place is an absolute abomination to all other recovery centers. They are holding a clients belongings and will not release them to him. You already got your money from billing his insurance. Release his stuff.
I reached out to crestview as a peer support on behalf of a client. I was greeted with nothing but hatefulness and attitude. It s difficult to navigate things in your own, it s our jobs as peer supports to be able to help those and advocate for those who need it the most. It s truly disheartening to know that a recovery center is treating individuals this way. What a disappointment. My peer should not have to fight in order to be getting his belonging back from this place. Please be helpful. We need nice and helpful people in these times.
DO NOT GO TO THIS FACILITY ! Crest View false advertises ! They DO NOT offer half the things they say they do. I was lied to and brought their under false pretenses. Cassi Boyd the client liaison violated hippa she call my job after I specifically told them they couldn t contact my work. They had no signed release to do so. I lost my job due to Cassi violating confidentiality. The day I reported her to her boss I was brought upstairs and given some of my belongings and told I was leaving AMA which I didn t ask to leave or sign anything to that effect. I was 2 1/2 hours away from home literally put out on the curb and told if I didn t leave, they would call the police. Cassi Boyd and Crest View broke the law! They cost me my job, and then had the audacity to tell me if I didn t leave, they were calling the police on me. NO ONE at Dream Life or Crest View will return any of my phone calls. I called Dr. Schwartz who is the owner. I have tried to call him for three weeks , and have yet to get a return phone call from him.The only good people at Crest View are Chandler, who is by far the best therapist I ve ever met. Nate who is a tech , but a great guy and truly cares about the clients. Brittney the supervisor over the tech s truly cares as well. My therapist Amanda was definitely not on my side ! Amanda would rather give you 10 reasons why she can t do anything to help you. Instead of giving you half a reason to try to help you. I give this place a half star ! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY !!!!!! I went to Crest View to get help and change my life. Instead of helping me Cassi Boyd, and Crest View cost me my livelihood and wrecked my life worse than I did with the drinking, and drugging !

Accepted Insurance
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient After attending clinical treatment during the day and 12-step programs in the evening, clients retire to gender-specific housing facilities. That rehab treatment setting replicates a real-life living situation with roommates also struggling with addiction. While living in these spacious accommodations, their staff will be there to not only monitor progress but also to teach clients independent life and coping skills that they’ll retain post treatment.
Intensive Outpatient CRVC’s Intensive Outpatient Program merges independent living with ongoing therapy. Most individuals spend 4–6 weeks in their program as they learn how to effectively maintain their sobriety. During this time, you’ll see their counselors and licensed therapists three times a week for about three hours per session. Their Intensive Outpatient Program ensures that you don’t skip a beat along your recovery journey.
Aftercare Support Rehab aftercare programs offer a complete continuum of care for clients in the maintenance phase of recovery and are predicated on the idea that addiction disease is a chronic condition prone to relapse and warranting continuing care. Clients collaborate with their care team and case manager to access the specific rehab aftercare services they need to promote their sustained sobriety. Peer coaching, relapse prevention services, career counseling, and 12 step program induction are common in these programs.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Intervention Services Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need
Partial Hospitalization Program A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
24-Hour Clinical Care Individuals in early recovery often require 24-hour clinical care in North Carolina. This supervised care typically includes medications to treat specific withdrawal symptoms, which vary based on the substance abused. For example, staff may provide sleep aids to treat insomnia in patients who are addicted to marijuana. For those overcoming a cocaine use disorder, anti-depressants may be prescribed to manage mood swings. Other medications may also be provided to treat addiction-related health issues.
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
There are many types of drug rehab in North Carolina. To receive treatment for addiction, you can choose from many inpatient and outpatient programs. Often, participants start with detox and work through a full continuum of care that continues with ongoing support for long-term recovery.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
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.
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
While one-on-one therapy is necessary to recovery, group therapy can be just as integral. A therapist leads a group of individuals to help them discuss any issues they may be facing in recovery. Groups might be very specific, targeting one particular problem. They can also be broader, consisting of individuals struggling through many types of addiction. What often helps the most is being able to listen to others with similar problems. Rarely will group therapy require everyone to speak. In most cases, just those people who are comfortable sharing their stories do so. However, the ability to listen to these stories and find out more about what other people are going through is often just what people beginning recovery need to feel less alone.
At Crest View Recovery Center, individual therapy plays a major role in helping clients achieve sobriety. It allows them to discuss their substance abuse issues in a non-judgmental, one-on-one setting with a qualified, compassionate therapist. Their goal is to help you understand your addiction and work toward changing addictive behaviors and thought patterns.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
During couples therapy in North Carolina, a psychologist helps you and your partner resolve problems that are occurring in your relationship. This licensed therapist uses talk therapy to help you both work through challenges together. The process involves learning new skills to better handle conflict and life issues.
Family support can be vital to the addiction recovery process. However, because addiction has the power to tear families apart, it’s important to re-establish broken relationships. Family therapy at Crest View Recovery Center aims to help everyone involved heal.
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.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
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.
