Located in beautiful Provo, Utah, OASIS Ascent offers short term
residential treatment for teens ages 13-17 with behavioral health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, substance use, and more.

Teens in crisis receive medication management from psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners. Psychological assessments help tailor individualized treatment plans. OASIS Ascent administers psychological assessments to help better understand clients' mental health needs. Clients engage in individual therapy implementing
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (
DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reconditioning (EMDR). Staff lead
group therapy to build a supportive community and equip clients with life skills. Family therapy focuses on family dynamics and communication, as well as helping families best support teens in treatment. Recreational therapy—such as basketball, climbing, and yoga—and creative therapies, like art and music, complement the clinical treatment.
OASIS Ascent offers an accredited on-site school with a structured academic schedule and individualized learning support based on students' needs.
