CooperRiis (pronounced Cooper-Reese) is a non-profit residential healing community for adults with mental health challenges. We’re committed to a personalized care approach with the help of a supportive community. Our short- and long-term residential mental health programs, located in Asheville and Mill Spring, North Carolina, provide an integrated system of care for adults 18 years or above at different stages of their recovery journey. We support individuals of all backgrounds and identities and are LGBTQIA+-affirming.

The Farm campus is a 94-acre working farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville and Charlotte, NC, and Greenville and Spartanburg, SC. Thirty-six residents, both men, and women live in three separate lodges, with twelve residents per lodge in private bedrooms and private baths.

The peaceful, bucolic campus is in the heart of horse country. The lodges and barns also include staff homes, an art barn and woodshop, a 4-acre lake, and acres of gardens and greenhouses. Farm residents spend most of their week on campus, with trips into the surrounding area typically scheduled for the weekends.

CooperRiis treats adults 18+ with Anxiety Disorders, Neurodiversity/Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Dual Diagnosis, Major Depressive Disorders, Personality Disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), and Schizophrenia & Schizoaffective Disorders.
