About Ascendant New York

At Ascendant NY, we recognize that the journey to recovery is deeply personal and unique to each individual. Rooted in a holistic approach, we emphasize the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit in our therapeutic practices. Our commitment is to provide evidence-based care that addresses not only the symptoms of substance addiction but also the underlying challenges that contribute to it.

Understanding that detoxification is a crucial step in the recovery process, we strive to ensure that our patients experience this phase with as much dignity and comfort as medically feasible. Our tailored treatment plans are designed to resonate with the individual needs of every patient, ensuring that the detox process seamlessly integrates into ongoing care.

Our team, many of whom have personal experiences with addiction, brings a depth of empathy and understanding to their roles. We believe that compassion, support, and a genuine commitment to each patient’s well-being are the cornerstones of effective care. At Ascendant NY, you’re not just a patient; you’re a valued individual deserving of a transformative journey to wellness.

What Our Patients Say About Us

Dynamic, tailored, and successful

Ascendant is one of the most dynamic, tailored, and successful facilities for those looking to take back control of their lives.

Josh M.

Kind and warm

Admissions was kind and warm. The accommodations were very clean and seemed well thought out for resident comfort and amenities availability. Group meetings are fun and allowed for open shares and activities.

Thank you to everyone at Ascendant NY! From top to bottom, the entire staff was excellent. Caring, intelligent, empathetic, and hugely helpful every step of the way on my recovery journey. You feel the love, and are treated with the utmost respect, not just from the team, but from my peers as well. And the support goes way beyond just any treatment program, I'll have lasting friends and resources I'm very appreciate of. All the best to those who give and receive care at Ascendant!

Ascendant is an incredible recovery program. The staff are very friendly and personable, they make certain that you are working towards a tangible goal and are extremely compassionate when it comes to everyone's unique life experience. There is a great balance of programming types from one on one counseling to group meetings to great day trips. I felt so cared for during my time there. I'm addition, they truly care that you succeed and are very thoughtful about supporting your recovery even after you finish the program. Thank you to all the staff for being so incredible!

I was nervous to go to rehab for the first time but Ascendant was great, and from what others said, much better than other detox/rehabs. I did detox and some rehab, all of the staff are great, really smart and kind people, a lot of whom are recovering addicts. It is a lot of inside time, but they have walks and outings, you can move freely within the building, and there is a stationary bike and weights and you get to go to the gym or do yoga 3 times a week. You will be well fed, and they accommodate for all restrictions. They do pressure you to stay when you come to detox, but you are free to leave whenever you want and if you want referrals/for them to make a plan for you for after you leave, it only takes them 1-2 days to get it together. I recommend Ascendant.

Posting on behalf of a family member that i sent to Ascendant NY. From the very first interaction and admissions process, through to discharge, Ascendant does not miss a beat. The staff is not only extremely skilled, but compassionate about the work they do. My family member's experience at this detox facility was truly exceptional. The staff showed such competence and care that it was truly life-changing for all of us. We are incredibly grateful for the support and guidance they provided during a difficult time. Thank you to the amazing team for their dedication and compassion.

I had the one most life changing experiences here. It was my first time in rehab and was extremely nervous. The staff were fantastic, both extremely kind and professional. If you suffer with addiction, this place is the best to get help.
