Short-Term Program with Out-of-Network Benefits

The CooperRiis at Asheville Program works with out-of-network benefits. The program offers short-term programming, promotes stabilization, 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. This program will benefit individuals in early recovery and those experiencing setbacks or recurrent mental health and substance use challenges. CooperRiis at Asheville provides a unique blend of support through an integrated system of intensive clinical services and independent living skill-building.
