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 you need it), a specialist at our clinic location will discuss the 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 kinds of Therapy to Expect Therapy
At Asheville Recovery Center, we believe that treating addiction deserves more than a “one-size-fits-all” solution. That’s why we have implemented various therapeutic techniques, aimed at serving each client’s individual needs. These therapies include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Individual therapy
Group therapy

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.
