At Blue Ridge we strive to provide the most amazing experience to any individual who walks through our doors whether it be a person seeking treatment or a local vendor making their weekly delivery. Our staff desires to make everyone feel accepted, that they belong and that they become competent about the disease of addiction and the process of recovery. We utilize empathy, understanding and compassion to soften the sometimes harden hearts and minds of some of our clients and their families in hopes to make them hungry for a new life and new purpose. As we work hard to do this we are sensitive to our client’s welfare and confidentiality. We want our clients to feel safe and confident that they can acquire the help they need without sacrificing their privacy. The Blue Ridge staff accomplishes this through their awareness and expertise in the field and by portraying daily integrity in what we do. We also recognize the importance of carrying the message about the disease of addiction and the recovery process to those outside the borders of Blue Ridge. We believe we have an obligation to be educated and versed in such a manner about this disease that we can help society better understand it’s devastating effects and the ways to help people recover. Blue Ridge doesn’t believe people have to want to get help to experience recovery. We believe that when given the right chance in the right atmosphere people can and do recover from this tragic disease. Blue Ridge is that right chance and that right atmosphere. Blue Ridge stands united in passion, dedication and commitment not only in serving our local community but also our nation.
