What To Expect

Once an individual has made the decision to join the Asheville Recovery Center family, they will naturally have many questions. We want everyone to feel fully prepared and secure in what to expect when seeking treatment through us. The treatment process can be divided into four areas described below. 

What to Expect During The Assessment

By assessing an individual, we are able to provide unique care tailored to their needs. During this initial step, the client will disclose: 

Medication history 

Family history

Medical issues

Prior hospitalization

Substance issue/usage

Mental health diagnosis 

Past treatment history

Personal relationships

Employment

Whether or not detox is needed

What to Expect During the Intake Procedure 

Upon completion of the assessment and after medical detox (if needed), a specialist at our clinic location will discuss the full details of treatment at our facility. They will also list what items can be brought with you, including: 

  • Appropriate clothing for the weather, hiking, and outdoor activities
  • Toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
  • Anything that would make your room feel more like home
  • MP3 players, Kindles, or Fitbits are approved as long as they do not have wi-fi capabilities.

We provide washers and dryers as well and laundry detergent, paper towels, bedding, toilet paper, and bath towels, but feel free to bring your own bedding or bath towels if you would like.

What about Aftercare

While specialists at Asheville Recovery Center are invested in client recovery, they are also invested in maintaining recovery.  Outpatient treatment offers a transition back into society with minimal hours spent in treatment therapies during the week. Upon enrollment, we help to determine appropriate post-treatment options so that the client can feel confident in maintaining their sobriety.
