Asheville, NC-April 15th, 2024 (see newswire press release here)
CooperRiis, a non-profit mental health treatment program, announces it is now in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina with two of its leading programs:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – 53 S. French Broad Avenue, Asheville, NC 28801
- Residential program CooperRiis at Asheville – 85 Zilicoa Street, Asheville, NC 28801
The PHP is in the network with Aetna and United Healthcare, and CooperRiis at Asheville is in the network with Aetna, and both accept out-of-network insurance benefits. By adding additional insurance plans, CooperRiis offers more North Carolinians access to ground-breaking mental health care.
The PHP is a day program that offers stabilization following hospitalization with more intensive care than a doctor’s or therapist’s office. This program is holistic and trauma-informed, with a focus on psychosocial needs and skill building.
CooperRiis at Asheville is a short-term residential program that is clinically intensive and promotes skill-building for independent living. The program is based on a traditional group therapy structure, enhanced by community engagement and integrative wellness practices and interventions.
CooperRiis’ programs treat adults who have a mental health diagnosis of anxiety, major depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, personality disorders, and neurodiversity and can support co-occurring conditions related to addiction. Programming includes comprehensive treatment through individual psychiatry and psychotherapy, case management, medication management, and evidenced-based group interventions such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Expressive Arts Therapy, among other proven skill-building programs. CooperRiis’ wellness component includes farm-to-table meals that are anti-inflammatory and proven to support good mental health, as well as fitness programming tailored to each individual.
President & CEO Eric Levine, Ed.D shares, “What sets CooperRiis apart is a commitment to individualized treatment plans that emphasize a person’s strengths, helping them focus on attainable goals. We believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health care, and this partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina is a significant step towards realizing that vision.”
