Best Mill Spring, NC Drug Rehab Centers

The entire team here is dedicated to providing the best care possible. Doctors Bopanna and Ishizuka literally saved my life ten years ago. I owe the life I have today to them and the rest of the VA healthcare system. I am still a patient. I am also a VA provider today because of them. They showed me what it means to meet someone where they're at and love them until they can learn to love themselves enough to commit to making changes.

After reading some of the misguided comments directed at Dr. Boppana, I felt it necessary to add a counterpoint. I’m so glad to have been assigned to this outstanding physician. Although his personal inclination is to not make much eye to eye contact, he is very attentive to what is being said by redirecting his focus away from the speaker. In so far as putting in a Bluetooth device while the patient is still speaking, this is in order to proceed directly into making the necessary consults in order to address the issues being described to him in real time. I was personally helped by his calling of no less than three people in order to accommodate my needs. Thank you Dr. Boppana.

Very professional staff.

Dr.John Carter has been seeing my boys since small children. I love how he includes the parent in last half of sessions, and explains everything as clearly as he can, and stays on top of medication,and side effects. RE: A "edit" to my post- Today we learned that Dr Carter is retiring at the end of this month....a day I knew would eventually come, but had hoped would be a few more years away.... to see him 20 years +, it was emotional and very sad news😢. We were told a "Dr. Lee who is a good doctor, and younger" wI'll be taking Dr. Carter's position the first of January. My son is not pleased at all, but we will have to wait and see if they "connect" in February. At any rate, with new management at Family Preservation, and all staff changes, and lack of staff, my "5 star rating" may be much less very soon.

My sister went there. From what she told me the staff there really helped her make a complete turnaround. I am really grateful for how they helped her. Don't hesitate to send your loved one there.

I’m writing the review I wish I could have read when I was researching residential programs and deciding if I could do it, and where I should go. I was at CooperRiis in Asheville (not The Farm) earlier this year. My experience is as a cisgender, queer, white, fat, disabled woman who is both a lifelong mental health patient and a therapist. No residential program is easy or fun, but within that context, I had a shockingly good experience at CRA and I’m so glad I went. Staff: The staff are absolutely wonderful. Every person in every role is so kind, compassionate, and committed to supporting each resident. The clinicians (therapists, nurses, psychiatrist) are skilled and engaged, as are the residential staff, recovery coaches, care coordinators, and Wellness Director. Structure: I found the structure of the weekdays extremely helpful; time is split between individual sessions, a variety of groups, optional wellness activities like group walks and art, and down time. The weekends are tougher, with no individual sessions or groups on Saturday and only two groups on Sunday. After such an intense week of treatment, having a break is kind of nice, but also feels a bit like whiplash and gives you a lot of time with your thoughts. That being said, the residential staff are so kind and engaged. They provide several activities throughout the weekend (and weekday evenings) to build a sense of community and offset that whiplash feeling. They are always eager to talk with you one-on-one if you need to, and these checks-ins were validating and helpful. Autonomy: While any residential program requires rules that aren’t a good fit for everyone, the staff at CRA are as accommodating as they can safely be of individual needs. Having the ability to keep my phone, go outside when I wanted to, eat when I wanted to, and attend the groups I wanted to helped me feel I had some control over my own experience there. Identity: I expressed my needs and concerns to every member of my care team in my first few days there, and these were respected and accommodated. The experience was not perfect and there were a few upsetting things that occurred while I was there. I met with leadership twice to express my concerns, and they were receptive, kind, responsive—even appreciative. I experienced zero fatphobia there, my trauma and neurodivergence were honored, and I felt much safer there as a queer person and woman than I expected to. When incidents did occur, staff took them seriously. There’s lots of queer and trans staff members. I wore a mask in common spaces throughout my stay and this was respected with no weird pushback or judgment. I was the only person who wore one, but they are strict about staff staying home when sick, and the other residents were kind about my request that they let me know if they felt sick. Food and Space: The food was SO good. There’s a big salad bar at every lunch and dinner, and multiple options for entrees and sides at every meal. Seriously, I was shocked by how good it was; there were only three meals in 30 days that I didn’t enjoy. I am a pescatarian and there were always good choices for me. As a bonus, the kitchen staff are so kind, know all the residents’ names, check in about needs and preferences when they meet you, and are happy to answer questions about the food any time. I also appreciated the 30+ varieties of tea available along with coffee and a daily flavored water. The entire space is clean and well cared for, with lots of comfy places to sit and read, journal, etc. In summary, if you need this level of care, I recommend CRA. Even as a therapist who has been in outpatient care for decades, I left with some coping skills and insights I didn’t have before. It was hard work and you definitely get out of it what you put into it. If I need residential care again the future, I will go back to CRA, and I’d recommend it to my loved ones.

I found this type of therapy very beneficial for my mental health. All the staff was amazing and genuinely concerned with your healing. I recommend this form of therapy for anyone needing a new outlook on their mental health journey. Thank you and love y’all

Being lucky enough to be a part of the CooperRiis community is a life changing experience. In short, you feel like family. It is a beautiful experience which prepares you to cope with life’s struggles and to thrive on and off campus. I highly recommend CooperRiis to anyone who feels they may be struggling or needs a mental tune up—this is your place.

Friendly staff, Clean facilities, New Amenities the Best way to operate is scheduling in person, keeping your appointments, and utilizing a calendar to prevent rescheduling. Medical Professionals are in short supply and in high demand. Accepting the way the World around you is doesn't have to be an obstacle which prevents you from achieving a positive outcomes.

I've been very happy with my experiences at this place so far, it has a very warm and inviting atmosphere and it feels like the staff actually cares. :) I'm feeling more optimistic about my mental health than I have in quite a while thanks to them, looking forward to my future appointments!

I am grateful for the services Appalachian has provided over the past 6-7 years for my patients. Yes, they are understaffed and they are overworked, but they are also the only organization available in our area for people with mental health crises. There is a severe statewide and national problem of inadequate mental health services. Without Appalachian, our community would be in far worse shape, because there is nothing else like it available in this whole region. Despite the time it takes for some services, I believe they literally save lives.

This is a great facility with excellent staff and quality services! I would recommend the Mary Black Campus facilities to everyone.

Took my wife in early on a Friday morning for a quick procedure. Checking in was quick and simple. The staff kept us well informed throughout the whole procedure. After my wife was in recovery we were discharged in a timely manner. Never felt rushed out ignored. All questions were answered. Special shot of for the nurse that took care of my wife. Morgan Dennis is a true angel and an immaculate example of what a nurse truly should be.

I had foot surgery at Mary Black campus on April 29th. Dr. Michael Le ( orthopedic surgeon ) and all the surgical staff were amazing! From pre-op to post-op I was taken very good care of! I highly recommend this facility and staff!

Brittany Pearson is a good person and does what she can to ensure children are in a safe environment.

I have been involved with focus for going on 2 years now. I have had nothing but a positive experience from the beginning. The staff have always been super nice and helpful. We started out with the nurse practitioner Sonya and she was amazing. Understandably, she felt my child had far more issues than she could help with (I adopted a child with MANY mental issues so I understood completely). She referred us to Dr. Igbul who was also amazing. At the time for one of her appointments, he was out of town and we got scheduled with Dr. Fairchild. She is absolutely nothing short of amazing. She has helped so much and has answered questions I have had for years that nobody has been able to answer in 10 years. I will stick with Dr. Fairchild forever. I see a lot of negative reviews but like I said, in the 2 years I have been affiliated with them, they have been amazing!

I sent my 16 yr. old son to TRAILS in September 2023 and he graduated 3 months later. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. They taught him how to survive and thrive in the woods of North Carolina. They taught him how to express his feelings and needs in a way that is respectful to everyone around him. They helped him learn about himself and brought his self-talk over to the positive side of things. They taught him that "he can do hard things". My family is so grateful to this group of people who run this program. We dropped off an angry, selfish, going-nowhere good kiddo and after a lot of work, missteps, repetition, and encouragement, my son had a fabulous growth experience at TRAILS that will serve him the rest of his life. Parents, do not hesitate to go with this program.

Wonderful clinical team! Very trauma-informed and focused on healing the entire family. Would highly recommend.

Trails made me a better person. I hated it at the time, but after 6 years, I'm glad I was sent here

Great counseling
