 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is awesome and you get exactly what you need. The staffs are super friendly and very knowledgeable on what they do. It is a PHP model treatment that helps you learn basic life skills if you don’t have that already.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I truly, truly thank ARC and the WHOLE staff completely for my entire treatment/stay here. I didn't know what to expect and this place is over exceeded any expectations I did have coming here. They have went over and beyond, and I have left with a family here including the clients. This place is magical, and I'm super grateful for all the after care and support they have set me up with to succeed in my future sobriety. Thank you, and then some ARC ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ARC is an amazing Program. Thank you to all the staffing. I had an amazing experience for my first time in treatment. I highly recommend the program to everyone who is serious about their sobriety. If you're really serious about your sobriety, focus on the positive and it always outweigh the negative. The past is the past. The present is beautiful. My future is blossoming like nature in the spring. If your disease doesn't get you, the lifestyle will. " You miss 109% of the shots you don't take. Thanks again to the staff! Who better to learn from than ones that experienced the lifestyle.

Recovery That Reaches Beyond Our Walls

We believe in showing up—not just for our clients, but for the greater Asheville community. A powerful example is our Admissions Director, Hollan Steen, sharing his personal story in a TED Talk to show that recovery is possible—and it’s worth it.

Our Mission: Merging Clinical Expertise with Real-World Recovery

The mission of Asheville Recovery Center is to bridge the gap between twelve-step-based treatment and clinical addiction treatment models. We provide a twelve-step model that allows clients to participate in local recovery fellowships that encourage accountability, honesty, and support.
Alongside this, we provide evidence-based clinical care through experienced professionals to address our patients’ mental and physical needs. We believe that synthesizing both approaches creates a model that truly works, giving our clients the tough love of accountability, the compassion of shared experience, and the scientific support of psychiatric and therapeutic care.
