Recovering from a substance use disorder is a lifelong journey. But it never begins in solitude. Serving the five boroughs and tri-state area, Ascendant NY offers a full continuum of exclusive, luxurious care to ensure you receive exactly the level of supportive treatment you need.
Other treatment programs remove you from the city, taking you to a distant treatment center to pursue recovery. Here, you’ll find the cutting-edge treatment and support you need with all the charm and electric energy of the city. We believe there is power in leveraging our unique local environment to create a holistic healing experience for people struggling with substance use disorders.
We offer four distinct treatment programs: Detox, residential, intensive outpatient, and an alumni program.
Detox begins with a comprehensive assessment so the treatment team can become acquainted with your history, disorders, triggers, and goals. Then you’ll be assigned a bed with access to constant monitoring and licensed healthcare personnel. Your body will be given the time it needs to flush out the toxins associated with your substance use disorder.
This is often an uncomfortable process, as your body will enter withdrawal from the substance. The treatment team will begin medication-assisted detox to mitigate your pain.
Generally, detox lasts around a week, but could easily last longer or shorter depending on variables such as your gender, age, length of use, potency of last dose, overall health, and whether or not you have co-occurring disorders.
During residential care, you’ll stay overnight and receive care in the same facility. Your treatment team will prescribe a unique set of treatment modalities to make sure you get on the right trajectory for lasting recovery.
Since you still haven’t rejoined the outside world, you can focus on healing from your substance use disorder without the distractions from familiar surroundings.
Your program coordinator will design events and outings that take full advantage of the city’s vibrant cultural, culinary, artistic, and religious life. Your days will have built-in structure and support, as well as 24/7 access to licensed healthcare personnel. You will have the opportunity to engage in individual and group therapy sessions.
For those who have significant familial and professional obligations following detox, intensive outpatient care is a good program option. Intensive outpatient care involves receiving care at the facility but sleeping in your own bed overnight.
You’ll get assigned unique treatment modalities by the doctors, but you will see your family before you go to bed every night. You will maintain access to a trusted network of addiction specialists who are just a phone call away. They will do whatever it takes to make sure you have the support you need.
