Our Foundation
The ASAM Criteria
At Ascending Partners, every care decision begins with you — not a checklist. We use the ASAM Criteria as the foundation of our treatment model, conducting multidimensional assessments that consider your biomedical, psychological, and social needs together.
This strength-based approach means we look at your whole picture: not just your challenges, but your assets, your support network, and the resilience you already carry. From that foundation, we build a level of care that fits your life.
Recovery isn't a destination — it's a direction. We help you find yours.
Programs Designed Around You
Every service at Ascending Partners is designed to meet you where you are and move you forward.
Individual Counseling
One-on-one sessions with a licensed counselor focused on your personal history, goals, and the underlying factors driving substance use — tailored entirely to you.
IOP Group Therapy
Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides structured group therapy sessions that build community, accountability, and lasting coping skills — all while you maintain your daily life.
Workshops
Skill-building workshops that go beyond talk therapy — covering relapse prevention, emotional regulation, communication, and life skills for sustainable recovery.
Family Therapy
Healing happens in relationship. Our family therapy sessions help repair connections, rebuild trust, and equip loved ones with the tools to support your journey.
Care Coordination
We connect the dots. Our care coordinators work across providers to ensure your treatment plan is seamless, consistent, and always centered on your goals.
Meditation
Complimentary guided meditation sessions offer a grounding practice that reduces stress, builds mindfulness, and supports the emotional work of recovery.
Transportation Assistance
We believe access to care shouldn't be a barrier. Transportation assistance is available to help ensure you can get to every session, every time.
