Our Mission & Values
Provide as many patients as possible with the opportunity to heal from substance use disorder throughout 4 levels of care in the greatest city in the world.
Philosophy
Healing can only happen through safe connection.
Ascendant fosters healing by creating a safe environment conducive to nurturing a patient’s body and mind, while also being emotionally held by our staff, in order to create secure relationships and re-attach to themselves and others.
It is through these safe and secure connections that patients are able to embrace life and stop avoiding emotional pain through substance use.
Values
Ascendant’s 3 C’s are woven into everything we do.
Compassion
Towards each other, the patients and their families
Collaboration
We collaborate alongside each patient on their care and in identifying available resources to help them on their recovery journey.
Ascendant is an open system: outside providers are considered indispensable members of the patient’s team and we incorporate NYC resources into treatment plans.
Connection
Our focus is on patients’ connection with community, outside providers, our team and each other, but most importantly, with THEMSELVES.
