Vision of Care
A Caring Alternative was founded in 2006 by Melaina Rhoney as a behavioral health organization with a cutting-edge vision to integrated health care approaches. A Caring Alternative is a well-established comprehensive care agency providing behavioral health and substance use disorder services to adults, adolescents, and children in Western North Carolina.

Approach to Care
Our organization is a values-based behavioral health system. These value-based methods are the deeply ingrained principles that guide daily operations; they serve as the cultural foundation. Every employee understands the importance of upholding these practices established to guide ethical practice, plan, and deliver the highest quality of care for every client we serve. We believe a diverse, inclusive, and equitable organization is one where all employees, volunteers, and members — regardless of gender, race, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation, education, disability, veteran status, or other dimensions of diversity — feel valued and respected. We are committed to providing informed, authentic leadership for cultural equity and modeling diversity and inclusion for the entire alliance. A Caring Alternative is founded on the CARE Values:
