About Us

THE BLUEROCK DIFFERENCE

Welcome to BlueRock Behavioral Health

BlueRock is a publicly funded program with a private-pay experience. BlueRock was founded on a core belief that any family in crisis should have access to the highest quality mental health resources available, regardless of socioeconomic status. Our team is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a warm and supportive environment. Through our collective years of experience working in the field, two things became apparent to us: there are not enough mental health services available to meet the demand in Western North Carolina, and those that exist are often financially out of reach for most families. Currently, there’s an estimated shortage of hundreds of residential beds for children in Western North Carolina.

We are proud to be part of the solution by offering 32 beds for adolescents of all genders, ages 12-17. As a team of dedicated mental health professionals with 70 years of combined experience, we find this unacceptable and are challenging the status quo. We are proud to introduce an adolescent residential treatment option committed to providing accessible, affordable care to everyone in our community. BlueRock is a Level 2 residential placement option for youth ages 12-17 with an average length of stay of 90-180 days. Located on a picturesque campus in Bat Cave, NC, we are a niche program designed to offer a relationship-based model rooted in the belief that trusting relationships drive change.

The History of BlueRock Mountain

Nestled just outside the breathtaking Chimney Rock State Park, our BlueRock program is surrounded by the natural beauty and serenity of the Appalachian Mountains. Inspired by the majestic BlueRock Mountain, our program’s name reflects the rugged beauty and resilience found both in the natural world and within our clients. Like the ancient metamorphic rocks that form the mountain, our program is built on a strong foundation. 

Just as the mountain’s beauty lies beneath its rugged exterior, we believe that every individual, regardless of their challenges, possesses inherent strength and potential. BlueRock embodies our commitment to helping individuals uncover their inner resilience and embark on a journey of growth and healing, set against the backdrop of the stunning North Carolina landscape.

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC, BlueRock is located just 30 minutes from downtown Asheville. Our 140-acre campus is the ideal backdrop for students to rebuild healthy relationships with themselves and their families.

We take advantage of our serene and mountainous surroundings by getting our students into nature as often as possible, offering adventure and experiential programming to help facilitate growth and build confidence.
