Ascent Behavioral Health

The angelic staff at Ascent Behavioral Health truly saved my life, and I am as stubborn and sad as they come. I came in a broken woman, drowning in sorrow and booze. I had tried other meetings, tried cold turkey, I had been scared straight, up, down, left, and right, and I was essentially at a point where I was either going to end my life (accidentally or on purpose) or make some serious f-ing changes. I showed up ashamed and shattered. I could hardly look anyone in the eye, and it was hard not to cry. But they took me in and assessed me with love and care and clinical precision. Their groups were phenomenal, and full of folks just like me --- a little broken, but looking to mend. And in talking to your peers you realize, "My God, these people are really special, just in need of a boost"...which eventually leads you to see the same truth within yourself. And in those groups you will find the most compassionate and skilled counselors. They will give you the tools to climb out of that hole you've dug yourself into, and then hand you ones to build a foundation for a rock solid temple. Because hey, you, you there reading this? You're worth it and they don't see your mistakes, they see the potential within you. If you're looking for a namby-pamby kumbaya session devoid of substance, then there are other behavioral health services that will recite platitudes and give you the same stuff you've had before. But these guys care about giving you a fighting chance in that wide, scary world out there that broke us in the first place. Oh my gosh, I haven't even gone over how your case manager will hook your butt up with any service and jumpstart you need. They will help you with jobs, education, getting set up with assistance programs....the only thing they can't do is make Idris Elba appear on your doorstep with a dozen roses (sadly, I've tried).

Take the chance. Trust this internet stranger. I once was lost, and now I'm found...

The staff, counselors, and caseworkers really care about you and your well-being.

Seriously recommend this place to anyone seeking help with an addiction. The counselors are easy to talk to and offer genuine solutions. Paul Vandaele was my counselor and he was awesome. He's very perceptive and understanding to each individuals needs, talked to and treated me as an equal and made attending group something to look forward to rather than burdened by. I was actually a little sad to go when I completed the program. Thanks to them I left the program with confidence and strength in more areas than just my sobriety. It doesn't matter whether it's court ordered or on your own accord that end up here, if you have an open mind this place can change your life!!!

I have 71 days sober. I attribute this to the amazing, case workers, and councilors at Ascent. As well as my recovery coach. I know that for those who are serious about they're recovery, Ascent is a top notch recovery program.

I had a great experience here. The staff is courteous and helpful. The counselor Wanda really cares about the individual and offers great lessons that can be used instantly. I recommend this place to those who are really serious about their recovery, if not your experience will likely not meet your expectations.
