About

About RHA Health Services Inc

RHA Health Services operates a behavioral health outpatient location at 356 Biltmore Avenue in Asheville, North Carolina, as part of a larger CARF-accredited non-profit network that has been serving individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health needs, and substance use challenges since 1991. The Asheville location is part of RHA’s North Carolina behavioral health footprint, which includes comprehensive care centers, outpatient services, community-based programs, and crisis services across the state.

What distinguishes RHA from many regional behavioral health providers is the breadth and population specificity of its mission. The organization serves four distinct constituencies: people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (across Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee); people needing mental health and behavioral health services in North Carolina and Pennsylvania; people who are Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, or DeafBlind; and people with substance use needs. The integration of these populations under one organization means clients with multiple needs — such as Deaf adults with co-occurring substance use — can receive culturally and linguistically aligned care that mainstream providers cannot match.

The Asheville location, like other RHA outpatient sites in North Carolina, offers community-based counseling, brief intervention, anger management, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and motivational interviewing approaches. As a CARF-accredited organization, RHA aligns its programming with the Personal Outcomes framework from the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL), which the organization publicly states is its operational benchmark for individualized planning and outcomes measurement.

For Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing clients, RHA’s North Carolina program serves people who use American Sign Language as their primary mode of communication. This is a notable specialization: most mainstream behavioral health programs depend on interpreters for occasional encounters, while RHA structures its DHH services to function in ASL natively. Prospective clients should contact the Asheville location at (828) 254-2700 to confirm intake availability, accepted insurance, and current service offerings.
