Short-Term Program
Now In Network with Aetna Insurance
The CooperRiis at Asheville program is in network with Aetna insurance and continues to work with out-of-network benefits. The program is short-term (45-90 days) and develops a foundation for longer-term recovery and a potential next step into our residential program on The Farm, The Asheville Community Program, or other programs. The program is based on a traditional therapeutic group structure, enhanced by the program’s community engagement and integrative wellness practices as interventions.
CooperRiis at Asheville provides a unique blend of support through an integrated system of intensive clinical services and independent living skill-building. This program will benefit individuals in early recovery and those experiencing setbacks or recurrent mental health challenges.
