What Are Opioids?
Opioids are a class of powerful drugs that include prescription painkillers and illegal substances like heroin. They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain to block pain, but they are also highly addictive. We treat addiction to a wide range of opioids, including:
Prescription Painkillers
Including drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, and Percocet. Addiction often begins with a legitimate prescription for pain.
Fentanyl
A powerful synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times more potent than morphine, driving a significant number of overdose deaths.
Heroin
An illegal, highly addictive opioid processed from morphine. We provide specialized care to manage its intense withdrawal and cravings.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, approximately 128 people die every day due to opioid overdose. If you or a loved one is suffering, you’ve come to the right place. Asheville Recovery Center has the exact tools, methods, and therapies to help you overcome opioid addiction and make sobriety a reality.
How Opioids Affect the Brain
Opioids affect the brain by stimulating receptors that release dopamine, creating a powerful feeling of euphoria. With regular use, the brain’s natural ability to produce dopamine diminishes, creating a physical and psychological dependence. This tolerance requires larger doses to achieve the same effect, which is how the dangerous cycle of addiction begins. Our program is designed to help you break this cycle safely and effectively.
How Opioid Treatment Begins
The pathway to sobriety begins once the body is completely free of opioids. This process, called detox, is a critical first step. Due to the complexity and risks of opioid withdrawal, a medically supervised detox is required.
Medically Supervised Detox
Our trusted local partners provide a safe, professional setting to manage withdrawal symptoms, which can be severe without medical care. This process typically lasts 5-7 days.
Managing Withdrawal
Our medical partners help relieve symptoms like body aches, anxiety, and nausea, making the process as comfortable as possible to reduce the risk of relapse.
Transition to Treatment
Once detox is complete, you will begin a customized treatment program at our facility, uniquely designed to ensure your successful recovery.
Levels of Care for Opioid Treatment
We offer access to a full continuum of care to provide the right level of support for every stage of your recovery journey.
Detox and Residential (Inpatient)
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.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
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.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Provides flexible treatment for individuals ready to return to work, school, or family life, typically with evening programs 3-5 days a week.
Aftercare
Recovery is a lifelong journey. Our aftercare planning ensures you have access to ongoing support like therapy, support groups, and alumni events to maintain long-term sobriety.

Cost should not be a barrier to receiving life-saving treatment. Asheville Recovery Center is in-network with many major insurance providers, and we are committed to making our programs accessible. Our admissions team can help you understand your benefits and maximize your coverage.
