I am excited to let you know that Pyramid Healthcare has expanded its continuum of care for young adult men through its recent acquisition of Real Recovery, a structured, adventure-based Sober Living and Extended Care program in Asheville, NC. I recently spent time on the Real Recovery campus and with its staff. I encourage you to add this unique program to your visit list next time you are in Asheville.
As we continue to work through the slow-moving process of licensing for Waypointe and eagerly await its opening, the addition of Real Recovery to our network provides a unique continuum of care for young adult men, not only adding a dynamic Sober Living/Extended Care program, but also a planned specialized, dual-diagnosis program on Real Recovery's campus that will serve young men with primary substance and co-occurring mental health challenges.
