Ritual recovery for the second time was yet again an amazing experience. I feel like I was heard and seen. All the staff members are amazing. Shout out to the clinicians and the techs who make it possible for us every day to enjoy sobriety. Jill- I will forever love you. You see me in my darkest time. And you also got to see the spark in my eyes glow up again. Thank you for all our talks. Thank you for being our biggest supporter.

You are awesome and don't you ever forget that you are amazingPosted on kyle machariaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at this rehab program has been truly life-changing. The staff treated me with genuine compassion from the moment I arrived, and I never once felt judged. The counselors are knowledgeable, patient, and committed to helping every person succeed. The program taught me practical tools that actually work in real life, and I left feeling stronger, clearer, and hopeful. I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received here and would recommend this place to anyone who wants real help and a fresh start." Quentin, Billy, & Jill played key roles very helpful with client needs physically as well as emotionallyPosted on Chad PedersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m going to start with this place is the best one I’ve been to in Asheville been to three different ones in the last year. I would say the staff the techs and the therapist really care about the people it’s up to you to make the change. They do give you the tools a beautiful home to stay in an opportunity to change your life!!!!Posted on Faisal QuyyumiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm not going to disclose how many times I've been to treatment but Ritual Recovery is undoubtedly one of the best facilities I've attended. Everybody on the staff goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. A plethora of other programs tend to be either too rigorous or the complete opposite, too lenient. However, Ritual has found a perfect balance of giving clients a meaningful and structured daily routine while also allowing oneself to maintain autonomy. Also, having four groups a day, each lasting only an hour is exactly what I need in early recovery in subjects ranging from the history of addiction to yoga to art therapy to group discussions and much more. Every group serves its own therapeutic value. And the weekends are well-balanced with Saturday's consisting of a modest-hike or service-work for those who are less privileged, meanwhile on Sundays, each respective house partakes in a joyous activity whether it's a retro arcade or bowling or going to the YMCA. These are meaningful activities which I never partake in but more so take for granted when I am in active addiction and ignoring my true passions and hobbies. In my personal experience, the most robust part of Ritual Recovery's program is that of the one-on-one counseling sessions with my therapist (J.T.). It allowed me to be more vulnerable in which I shared some of my life's most traumatic experiences while being reassured I was in a safe environment. I would like to thank every single person who is part of the Ritual Recovery team; J.T., Blake, Maegan, Dr. Meelan, Amanda, Alison, Kai, Sam, Katie, Jill and Kayla! More specifically, I wouldn't have been able to keep myself going through this program without the help of Quentin AKA "Q" and Billy as they went above and beyond to ensure my sobriety, safety, comfort, but most of all, my happiness. I genuinely cannot thank Ritual Recovery enough for all they have done for me and for giving me the opportunity to live a meaningful life in recovery!Posted on SignalFrame AlphaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent place for recovery. The house is awesome, the classes are great. Really appreciate JT and some of the counselors there, they take time to listen and help, which is something not usually seen from bigger recovery places. They also make the time to take you to AA/NA meetings, which helps expanding a person's sober network, critical in early recovery.Posted on Matthew ClaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I stayed at Ritual Recovery for 30 days. They have a great staff, they feed you well, and helped me to look at sobriety differently.Posted on Devin TrehernTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a former client I can tell you what to expect and that is nothing but the utmost professionalism, care, and the best educational recovery experience I have ever had. Alison the clinical director and Aaron the program director oversee with such compassion and professionalism. Amanda and Kai in admissions are friendly and made getting in easy and manageable on my part which was incredibly nice considering the state I was coming in. The men’s and women’s techs Quentin, Billy, Jill, and Kayla were super helpful, considerate, and took care of us in housing with real concern and care. You can tell they are here for all the right reasons and enjoy what they do. I have to give Quentin a special shoutout for everything he did to help me get my sparkle back. ✨ The clinicians/therapists JT, Blake, Maegan, and Sam were full of excitement, knowledge, and encouraged us to speak our minds and hearts. I always felt comfortable in group and looked forward to going Monday-Saturday. The Case Worker Katie was full of information and resources and helped me ensure housing as well as additional help. You can tell she really enjoys helping others get what they need and where they need.Posted on Justin DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at ritual recovery was amazing, they really care about you and work with you with what you need while you’re there. Quinton is awesome he’s my favorite tech and is so passionate about his job. The other staff members are great also they genuinely care about your treatment and recovery. The groups are very supportive and helpful I really learned a lot about myself and addiction. I would absolutely recommend this place to whoever is struggling with addiction I am so happy and grateful I went though this program. Thank you so much Ritual recovery for everything you’ve done for me and helped me through!!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Our Continuum of Care
Ritual Recovery implements a comprehensive continuum of care designed to support individuals on their journey to recovery. This program begins with an intensive 30-day Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), during which clients reside in our supportive housing environment. This phase focuses on structured therapy, group sessions, and personalized treatment plans aimed at fostering healing and growth.
Following the initial month of in-house PHP, clients transition to 15 days of PHP while residing outside of our housing facility. This step allows individuals to integrate more fully into their daily lives while still receiving essential therapeutic support and guidance.
After completing the PHP phases, participants continue their recovery journey with a three-month Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This phase emphasizes ongoing recovery skills, relapse prevention strategies, and the establishment of a supportive community as clients work towards lasting change and independence.
