About Ascend Healthcare
Ascend Healthcare is a treatment facility located in Encino, California, and they're dedicated to helping adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 who are dealing with either mental health or addiction challenges. I like that they offer both residential and outpatient programs, which emphasizes that they care about covering all grounds, and they're big on family involvement and empowering these teens in order to help them reach their full potential.
Residential and Outpatient Support in Encino
Their residential program lasts between 45 and 90 days and offers different therapy and experiential activities for substance abuse, mental health, neurodiversity, eating disorders, OCD, and co-occurring conditions.
When you get support from their outpatient program, you can dive deeper into which program is suited best for you since they offer both partial hospitalization programs and an intensive outpatient program, depending on your needs. These include individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy sessions, along with medication management and other services that can support you during your recovery process.
As I mentioned before, they really want to get the family involved throughout the whole healing process, which is something that I like because it fosters a supportive home environment and helps strengthen relationships. At the same time, they have a basketball court, private chefs and nutrition programs, computer learning stations, a pool and spa, and gardens for your kids.
