CooperRiis is a residential healing community located in Western North Carolina. Since 2003, we’ve been helping adults living with mental health challenges achieve their highest levels of functioning and fulfillment through a powerful recovery approach combining trusted clinical therapies, community work & service, education, and integrative wellness practices.
CooperRiis offers four levels in an integrated system of care. CooperRiis at Asheville is a short term, clinically intensive model that accepts out-of-network insurance benefits and is in network with Aetna., The Farm in Mill Spring, is a therapeutic work based program and can now bill in house for selected out of network services such as nursing, individual therapy, and select groups. Asheville Community Program is a transitional living program with clinical and community supports. CooperRiis Support is where a resident lives independently in Asheville, but still benefits from having clinical and community supports.
Anxiety Disorders, Autism/Neurodiversity, Bipolar Disorder, Dual Diagnosis, Major Depressive Disorders, Personality Disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), and Schizophrenia & Schizoaffective Disorders.
At CooperRiis, we believe recovery from mental illness is possible and best achieved when individuals and their family members or loved ones are active participants on the journey. Our approach to treatment, provided in a caring and supportive setting, helps guide residents along the path toward hope, healing, wellness and independence.
