Medical substance use detox

The program is designed to help clients safely stabilize and manage withdrawal symptoms before moving on to the next step in their substance use treatment. Clinical staff monitor clients, administer MAT when needed, and provide fluids and healthy meals. Clients are also given plenty of time to rest in a calm, controlled environment. Once clients are stable, staff can refer them to residential treatment to continue their recovery progress.

Step-down residential treatment

Ascensa Health offers residential treatment for clients who have completed detox and are ready to start structured daily programming. Separate programs are offered for men and women. The men’s program has 52 beds, and the women’s program takes place in a smaller environment of 18 beds. This stage of care consists of individual and group therapy, educational groups, life skills training, and relapse prevention. The program also offers employment support and help transitioning to stable housing before clients graduate.

Full treatment continuum and co-occurring mental health care

The broader health network at Ascensa Health provides a full continuum of substance use and co-occurring mental health treatment. This includes detox, residential treatment, outpatient treatment, and recovery support services. Clinicians can prescribe MAT in all levels of care for clients who need them as part of their recovery. Co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety are treated alongside substance use by clinicians trained in both.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
