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.

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.

This is the place to go when you’re ready to stop the spiral and get real help. The staff is amazing and the care is personalized and professional. The work they do with their patients is meaningful and makes a lasting impact. The facility itself is modern, clean and very comfortable.

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!

I have had nothing but a wonderful experience at Ascendant. I would fully recommend anyone seeking treatment or detox for addiction to run don’t walk here. Between the community, therapist, and staff…everyone is on the same page with one goal in mind. Sobriety! We go on Extravagant outings every week. Lovely dinners not to mention the seamless orders, breakfast lunch, and dinner! Fed well treated well, sleeping in the lap of luxury! Honestly, it sounds like a vacation and it was. I came here for detox and I stayed for all 28 days of rehab and it’s the best decision I ever made.

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.
