About Ascend Recovery Center

This outpatient addiction recovery center provides partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), medication-assisted treatment, case management and more to clients in South Florida. The PHP includes 25 hours of treatment per week and the IOP includes up to 15 hours per week of treatment. The majority of the programs at Ascend include group therapy as the major focus, with a few individual sessions a week as well. They offer a blend of evidence-based therapies and holistic therapies. Some treatments that they specialize in include brain mapping, art therapy, yoga therapy, life skills training and relapse prevention counseling. They provide opportunities for clients to attend either 12 step programs or SMART Recovery programs depending on their interests and personality.
In addition to their standard programming, they offer a program specifically based on biblical Christianity. The Alpha Series explains what the Bible says what God has done to make us worthy as human beings. The program applies the gospel of Jesus as a solution to the problem of addiction.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Ascend Recovery Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Ascend Recovery Center offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Family Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Ascend Recovery Center works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
