Comprehensive Drug Rehab Program in Asheville, NC

At Asheville Recovery Center, our approach is comprehensive and individualized. Just as addiction took time to develop, it takes a complete rehab experience to heal. We utilize treatment models that help our clients recover in all facets of their lives—emotional well-being, physical health, and mental wellness. Because substance abuse affects all three aspects, we employ methods like holistic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and nutritional therapy to create a well-rounded path to recovery.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, addiction is a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences. Millions of Americans are affected, and most cannot fight addiction alone. At Asheville Recovery Center, we tailor each program to fit your individual needs, forging a path to recovery built specifically for you.

How Your Brain Reacts to Drugs

Drugs cause an excess release of dopamine, a naturally occurring “pleasure” chemical. As drug use is repeated, the brain’s ability to produce dopamine on its own diminishes, compelling the user to continue. This builds tolerance, requiring larger or more potent quantities to achieve the same high. Once addicted, an individual’s judgment, relationships, and health are compromised. We understand this cycle and provide the tools to break it.

Why Our Drug Treatment Center Works

Here at Asheville Recovery Center, our founders and addiction experts have life experience battling addiction and understand firsthand what it takes to get clean. Because they are so thankful for a life of sobriety, they are now committed to helping others—just like you—get their lives back on track. Here, you’ll be treated with the dignity and respect you deserve. We believe that a life without addiction is a right, not a privilege. We’ll give you the tools to achieve it.

The ARC Approach™

At Asheville Recovery Center, we use the ARC Approach—our signature model for substance abuse treatment that’s built on five core pillars: intentional treatment, dynamic length of stay, whole-person healing, life-forward integration, and client empowerment.

This comprehensive addiction treatment model ensures that every client receives personalized care, whether in our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Before entering any structured program, medical detox is often necessary to safely manage withdrawal symptoms and lower the risk of relapse. We work closely with accredited detox centers to help you complete this first step in a safe and supportive setting.

Once detox is complete—typically within 5 to 7 days—you’ll begin a customized treatment plan that includes evidence-based therapies, relapse prevention strategies, mental health support, and holistic services designed to support long-term recovery.

Inpatient Drug Rehab Vs Outpatient Drug Rehab

Inpatient Drug Rehab (Detox and Residential)

This is the foundation for recovery. Detox offers 24/7 medical supervision to safely manage withdrawal, followed by residential care for structured support in a substance-free environment. Clients do not leave the property, focusing solely on healing.

  • 24/7 medical supervision
  • Safe withdrawal management
  • Focus on stabilization and early recovery skills

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP is a structured, full-time treatment option without overnight stays. It’s ideal for those who have completed detox and need intensive support while living at home or in sober housing.

  • Daytime programming 5–6 days a week
  • Individual and group counseling
  • Access to case management

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP provides flexible treatment for individuals ready to return to work, school, or family life. Clients typically attend programming 3–5 days a week for several hours, often in the evenings.

  • Flexible schedule (often evenings)
  • Support while re-integrating into daily life
  • Focus on real-world application of coping skills

Aftercare

Recovery is a lifelong journey. Our aftercare planning ensures you have access to ongoing support, including therapy, support groups, and alumni events, to maintain long-term sobriety.

  • Customized discharge plans
  • Referrals to outpatient therapy and support groups
  • Continued access to alumni community

  • Maximize Your Coverage:We work directly with your insurance company to ensure you receive the maximum benefits available for your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drug Rehab

The duration of drug rehab varies depending on the individual’s needs, the substance used, and the severity of the addiction. Programs typically range from 30, 60, to 90 days, but can be longer if necessary. We create a personalized treatment plan after a thorough assessment.

Family involvement is a crucial part of recovery. We offer family therapy sessions and have designated times for visitation. The specific schedule and policies will be discussed with you upon admission to ensure it supports your treatment goals.

Inpatient (or residential) rehab requires you to live at the treatment facility, providing 24/7 care and a structured environment. Outpatient rehab (like our PHP and IOP programs) allows you to live at home or in sober housing while attending treatment sessions during the day or evening. The best choice depends on the level of care you need.
