CooperRiis, a Healing Farm Community

CooperRiis provides Individualized, comprehensive recovery services for individuals with mental illness at two campuses: a 90-acre healing farm community in beatiful western North Carolina, and a more urban campus in Asheville's historic Montford District. At both campuses, we offer a holistic approach to wellness that engages all areas of a person's life, including mind, body, spirit and heart.

Our "healing farm community" gets its approach and structure from a therapeutic community model that has been in practice for over 80 years. The central concept is a living environment where staff and residents live, learn, recreate and work together as a functioning community. To this model, CooperRiis has added the elements of modern psychiatry and psychology, with as emphasis on relationship-centered care, recovery, and a strong holistic component that affirms and honors the "whole" person. CooperRiis nurtures the whole person, rather than just the mind by utilizing comprehensive services and programs.
