About Us!

Ascension Recovery Services (Ascension RS) is considered an industry leader in developing and managing comprehensive, fully integrated behavioral health systems, treating SUD and co-occurring mental illness across the full continuum of care. Our mission is to provide culturally competent, comprehensive and fully integrated, behavioral health care to communities and populations that are underserved and/or where people in need are not accessing care. Our experience in the development of treatment facilities encompasses the entire continuum of care, including detoxification and residential treatment facilities, outpatient programming, sober living homes/recovery residences, peer support services, and job training / workforce reintegration.

When developing a new program, our focus is twofold: 1) provide innovative solutions, utilizing evidence-based and promising practices, that deliver high-quality care for treating and managing addiction as a chronic disease, and 2) develop and implement a financially sustainable business model requiring care coordination and integration of services with incentives aligned for positive outcomes. Ascension RS recently acquired a portfolio of treatment centers that we had previously developed on behalf of a client. The centers, called Wise Path™ Recovery Centers, include detox, residential and outpatient treatment. Ascension RS is focused on growing these centers and then expanding them through de novo builds and acquisitions.
