About Us

At Ascend Recovery, we are dedicated to helping individuals break free from addiction and mental health challenges. Our mission is to provide clients with a structured treatment plan that prepares them for independent living and a life of purpose. Located in the stunning Wasatch Front Mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah, we offer a comprehensive treatment program that combines evidence-based practices, individualized care, and adventure-based activities to support sobriety and a healthy lifestyle.
Who We Are
Ascend Recovery is a treatment center designed to guide adult men and women through every stage of recovery, offering a structured approach that helps clients transition from a residential treatment environment back to independent living. Our program is built on evidence-based practices that focus on helping clients complete treatment while also supporting them in building a fulfilling and sustainable life in recovery.
The treatment process at Ascend Recovery includes a three-phase continuum of care, with each phase tailored to the client’s unique needs and progress. From initial stabilization through detox, clients receive personalized care at every step. We collaborate with trusted detox centers to ensure a smooth and safe transition into our treatment. After completing each of the three phases, clients enter our alumni program and gain access to free lifetime aftercare, ensuring continued support and guidance long after formal treatment ends. This holistic, comprehensive approach helps clients rebuild their lives, providing the foundation they need for long-term success in recovery. Key aspects of our approach include:
- Gender-Specific and Co-Ed Groups: We provide tailored group therapy for male and female clients, as well as a co-ed option for those who prefer a mixed setting.
- Relational Therapeutic Model & Attachment Treatment: We understand that addiction often connects to past relational issues. Our treatment addresses these through specialized therapeutic techniques to help clients develop healthier relationships and coping mechanisms.
- Small Milieu & Individualized Care: We maintain a small, intimate setting to ensure each client receives the focused care they need. This allows for a higher level of personalized support.
- Masters-Level & Licensed Clinicians: Our team consists of highly qualified clinicians who are trained to offer the best care using evidence-based methods.
- Adventure-Based Recreation: Ascend Recovery incorporates outdoor activities and holistic treatment designed to help clients build confidence, teamwork, and emotional resilience.
Our Program
Ascend Recovery provides a comprehensive program designed to meet the needs of clients at every stage of recovery. Our program includes the following core components:
Holistic Approach to Treatment
We take a well-rounded approach to healing, recognizing that true recovery requires attention to the mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic treatment includes:
- Trauma-Informed Clinical Care: Our team is trained in trauma-sensitive approaches to ensure clients receive the care they need to heal from past experiences.
- Specialized Therapeutic Approaches: We use a variety of specialized therapeutic approaches to address the root causes of addiction and support emotional healing. These evidence-based therapies are designed to help clients process trauma, manage emotions, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. These techniques provide unique ways for clients to explore their emotions and experiences, helping them to move forward in their recovery with greater self-awareness and resilience.
- Equine Therapy & Expressive Arts: Horses and art are used as therapeutic tools to help clients express emotions and gain insight into their behavior.
- Yoga and Mindfulness: We incorporate yoga and mindfulness practices to help clients manage stress and develop emotional balance.
- Fitness & Nutrition: Our wellness programs include fitness activities and nutrition support to promote overall well-being.
Family-Based Approach
Family involvement is crucial for recovery that lasts. Our bi-weekly Family Program helps families identify and address underlying issues that may have contributed to addiction or disrupted recovery. Through guided therapy sessions, we support families in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and establishing healthier dynamics. Family members are taught how to express their feelings, set clear boundaries, and understand the recovery process. This program ensures that both the individual and their loved ones have the tools to create a stable, supportive environment where recovery can continue to thrive.
We are committed to providing affordable, high-quality treatment to take the financial burden off of families. Ascend Recovery works with most major insurance providers to help make treatment more accessible. We strive to remove financial barriers so that clients can focus on what matters most—their recovery.
