Our Comprehensive Clinical Program
We offer individualized, clinically sophisticated care for every client, tailoring our treatment to meet their specific needs. We understand addiction and also treat underlying mental health complexities that may have contributed to its development. Oftentimes, mental health is the primary presenting issue and our clients are using substances to “self medicate” as a coping mechanism. Our expertise lies at the intersection of mental health and substance use, assisting clients to resolve trauma, increase resilience, and build a life they don’t want to lose. Our greatest hope for life after Ascend—a life driven by a sense of purpose and passion.
Integrity and self-awareness are at our core. The work we ask of our clients, is work that we have done and are continuously willing to do. We understand that the ebb and flow of progress includes regression, resistance, and breakthrough. We have been there, and we aren’t going anywhere. Our own fearless self-work as a united team heightens our ability to authentically build rapport.
Clients at Ascend are no longer strangers after they join our community. They are immersed in a community of peers, staff, and clinicians who share experiences and work together. By progressing through our phased system, clients create a foundation for recovery and a life beyond treatment—one that serves as a strong predictor of success wherever they go after Ascend.
Phased Levels of Care
We have always believed that the foundation of residential care is crucial, but it isn’t always the best predictor of long-term success. For that reason, Ascend Recovery’s program is designed to move clients through multi-phase system of care that build upon incremental success and shared experiences. Our clinical relationships and system of care are structured to help individuals gradually transition from residential treatment back to independent, healthy living.
This phase incorporates every aspect of our clinical expertise, addressing trauma, family systems, and other co-occurring mental health issues along with addiction. Residential care is the critical first step in the treatment process, providing the intensive support needed to stabilize and begin deeper work.
In this extended level, clients focus on strengthening executive functioning skills—decision-making, time management, goal-setting, and other life management tools. This phase is designed to prepare clients for independent living by helping them build the necessary skills to take responsibility for their lives and recovery.
Clients at this final phase achieve full reintegration into the community. With continued outpatient support, they build upon their recovery skills while living in a sober environment. This level is exclusive to those who began their treatment at Ascend Recovery, allowing for continuity of care and leveraging the power of shared experiences.
At Ascend Recovery, we are committed to supporting our clients long after they leave our facility. We provide free lifetime aftercare to all clients, offering continuous support and resources to help them maintain their recovery. Our aftercare program ensures that clients have access to ongoing care, guidance, and community connection as they transition back to their everyday lives.
Our Holistic Approach
Many programs are structured to help clients simply graduate from treatment. Ascend Recovery is different. Our program is built on evidence-based and holistic practices that help clients graduate from a residential program while providing them with the tools and support they need to structure healthy, rewarding lives in recovery. From Residential Care through Alumni Programming, our goal is to help individuals regain control of their lives and prepare them for lasting success in recovery.

The Importance of Experiential Work
Our experiential approach creates different neural pathways than traditional talk therapy. Experiential activities create neuroplasticity. In active addiction, our neural pathways are rigid—and are reinforced by negative behaviors. Increasing neuroplasticity through our methods allows us to broaden our horizons and become more adaptable throughout our recovery—building confidence and emotional resilience.
When we are adaptable in our recovery, we gain resilience. Adaptability in our lives increases opportunities for success. While the optics of “success” are individual and deeply personal, we aim for a version of success that includes an expansive, meaningful, and honest life. We want to see you weathering life’s storms as a regulated, resourced, and integrous adult.
Family Focused Programming
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.
