“CooperRiis is a remarkable place! I went there when I was needing more support, and a way to find myself in a community, and I got it! Their holistic approach is incredible, from their amazing food to the animals and nature. CooperRiis was a starting point, and played a huge role in my recovery.”

Healing Begins Together

We believe that mental health healing is best achieved not in isolation, but in a caring, compassionate community.

Our residential healing community provides a safe and structured treatment setting in which residents and staff work, live, play, dine and create together, and where, together, residents are empowered on their road to recovery.

Community Work and Service
Our Community Work and Service on The Farm is rooted in the healing power of social engagement and being a part of a community. Residents spend 15-20 hours a week working as a part of a team that contributes daily to the life of our community campuses. Residents can choose work that inspires and best matches their interests, including horticulture and animal care, cooking and baking, carpentry, landscaping, and drum building. CooperRiis at Asheville structures their days around more clinically intensive groups, individual psychiatry, and psychotherapy for residents. Learn More
