CooperRiis Healing Community

CooperRiis is a residential healing community and progressive transitional living program for adults 18+ struggling with mental health challenges. Located in Asheville and Mill Spring, North Carolina, the organization offers two primary residential programs: CooperRiis at Asheville, a clinically intensive short-term program, and The Farm, a therapeutic farm-based long-term program. They also provide transitional living services for semi-independent supported living. CooperRiis treats adults with anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, dual diagnosis, neurodiversity support, personality disorders, PTSD, and schizophrenia. The program is person-centered and strength-based, using a philosophical model called The Seven Domains developed by the organization's original clinicians. Treatment incorporates meaningful work, integrated wellness practices, trusted clinical therapies, and community involvement. Residents begin by crafting a personal dream statement that guides their recovery journey, with clinical teams providing support and guidance.
