About CooperRiis at Asheville

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.

Cooperris was the worst place I've ever been and a huge waste of money... If you want treatment that works I would recommend a porta potty at a subway station over cooperriis. The staff at the porta potty company is more qualified to run a mental health facility then any one of the employees at that nightmare, I'd make a comment about the owner but she was too important to talk to anyone at breakfast every morning. The CEO is a complete tool and thinks he is the most important person alive to the point of not talking to anyone every morning as was leaving from breakfast, going as far as making a snide remark to me the day I left after I complemented his glasses. His way of practicing mental health treatment was by way of arrogance and intimidation and he felt this was the way to have "positive interactions" with the consumers. The head of the RA staff had the nerve to tell me "did you ever think that if you weren't so sarcastic you might have a friend? Sorry, I'm a new yorker, sarcasm happens and is our language. When I left I was referred to a program that after applying to and leaving cooperris they ended up not accepting me 4 days later. I called cooperris and they referred me to a key lock down facility, a state run, card lock down facility complete with a fence and a women's eating disorder clinic (I'm completely a CIS gendered male). To top it all off I was told by a few residents who I had been at the center with, that the staff continued to talk negatively about me after I'd left, which is a huuuuuuugggeeee violation of HIPPA not to mention god only knows what else. The person who told me that happened to be an acquaintance of mine and told me that they told him and my GF at the time to stay far away from me. The worst thing was when I called a few months later, after being unable to find continuing care, they refused to help me when I called to get help since they referred me to non applicable centers. The head of counseling or one of the higher ups too important to even speak to a resident while I was there told me that since I wasn't currently enrolled at cooperris they couldn't help me. Attending the program at cooperriis was by far the worst mistake of my life and I wasted over $150,000 to be shown the cover of a work book, told I couldn't look at it or he couldn't copy the paragraph, which is incorrect as copyright is defined as basically a safety net so no one can replicate or sell their material for their personal gain whether it be monetary gain or otherwise or this information cannot be used in a large presentation without citing the original author. If you have any questions, I'd love to share... I could go on all day long as why you should stay as far away from cooperriis and everything to do with them. *If I am for any reason contacted by cooperriis regarding this post I will escalate it to the proper authorities.*

They will keep your $1,000 deposit. Our son went there and he had previously been to 3 other similar programs and do yourself a favor and buyer beware with this facility. We are still battling to have what is left of our deposit returned. It's been 10+ months since our son left and we're still awaiting the return of whatever is left. Just adding to this...it has now been 12 months since I paid their $1,000 deposit and STILL not returned, not even a portion of it. Just the run around!

They cover. I wish the English would fill their mouths with fresh cotton. They force me to stay while my complaining husband finds a new partner. My English family wishes for me to live here forever thinking it is the worst place to suffer for an Irish. English family is confused thinking this is a living facility. Also, English family is confused upon return to home I am not mentally incapacitated while Irish family is forced through English control to secretly struggle to revive me. I enjoy leisurely walking through the beautiful, old neighborhood. They support my use of many options such as lavender and salt rock lamps. I appreciate the suggestion to use Lovely ginger chews candy as a couple of them fully address nausea. 🚫 😰 🪴 🪨 🚫 🤢 🫚 The staff help. I hate they poke me. After my experience, I am advised and move back to my hometown. My experience is partially due to a young marriage. 🚫 💉 🚫 🩸 🏡 Their on site art and engagement activities encourage and make me realize the importance of finding a fun toy or new interesting art activity. I start my paint by numbers. So far, some of the activities I have found to be enjoyable and beneficial are crochet, mixing play dough, a super squish fidget toy, magnetic putty for modeling, and a kaleidoscope to start to name a few. They teach me how to clear computer clutter including social media. 🪀 🪁 🧸 💦❔ 🧸 🛏️ ⁉️ 🥼🚫☠️❗️⚰️ 🥘 🖼️ 🚶‍♀️ 💊❗️🛏️🙅‍♀️💊 ‼️🚫💤‼️🛏️‼️🚕🏥💊💊🖼️🚫‼️🛏️‼️💤🚕🙅‍♀️❗️🛏️❗️🤷🏼‍♀️💊❕ I really enjoy some of their meals. Their grits have great toppings, their egg frittata is delicious, their fluffy biscuit goes well with cinnamon butter, and meatballs have great flavor with wonderful sides. Their greens are amazing. I wish more clients would look to gain missing ancestry knowledge. I miss the puzzle time. 🧩 They help me decided I need to just do a tiny little bit of school on the side. I take classes on curing skitzophenia and learn information such as staying away from orange juice which is full of sugar. Once in a while for special occasion a healthy soda is a special treat. Unfortunately, my English family is not able to support my health education. This information is part of my self care. I am glad I have the educational steps so I do not need to visit again. My family chooses not to support my betterment. My English aristocracy family chooses not to listen, they care about their wealth, and like to move me. They help professional identify and educate me on my divergent thinking which is caused by both my English and Irish ancestries. To address divergent thinking, they provide hard suggestions to continually study, work through, practice, and reflect on regarding more consideration of how to relate and figuring out what strategies are effective in building healthy relationship. I am good at working through a professional organization chart to help identify and assess past healthy social interaction. At the end, I am able to assess my slight adjustments to make the good situations more safe and healthy. After a doctor visit in high school, I am scarily concerned I have a related cancer. They thankfully and very smartly professionally address in my late 20s I personally progress to dealing with slight skitzophenia and provide education steps to move forward focusing on really strict healthy eating. They thankfully address my eating issue after I temporarily have not been able to eat what I need to. I love their food medicine. Unfortunately, my home community still chooses to be reluctant in providing my prescribed medicine. My community does not support my personal recommendation from Dr. Josh Axe. I am thankful this extra knowledge shares with my community underlying issue I address. I wish everyone visited the psychiatrist.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

CooperRiis at Asheville works with several private insurance providers, 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

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 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.
