- Sober Living
- 90+ days



This Asheville program serves men who want a stable, drug-free life. It is listed as sober living, not as medical detox or an inpatient hospital. The focus is on daily structure and peer support for people with a substance use disorder who are ready to change how they live. Residents attend individual and group sessions that strengthen their commitment to recovery. The program uses a three-stage sober living model. Stage one stresses structure and limits, stage two centers on re-entry, and stage three builds self-sufficiency. As men move through each phase, they gain more independence. During the reintroduction phase, they get support for returning to work or continuing education. In the final phase, they prepare to return to daily life successfully while staying sober.
There are also everyday recovery responsibilities the men take on. Each resident meets one-on-one with a sponsor on a regular basis, and medication-assisted treatment is offered where it fits. They learn to manage money, look actively for work, share group meals, and take part in family therapy. To support steady routines and well-being over time, a gym membership comes at no cost. The center's primary focus is treating substance use disorders, helping men steady themselves again, build strategies that lower the chance of relapse, and link up with resources that offer support.
Otter House Recovery Asheville programs

Three stages make up the sober living program. Stage one centers on structure and restrictions, stage two on re-entry, and stage three on building self-sufficiency. The sober living approach at this Asheville rehab program moves through stages, giving each man more independence over time. When someone requires medical detox or clinical care around the clock, this level of care may not suit them, and a clinician should help decide which setting fits.
