Form of workAscend Healthcare is committed to providing fully integrated, quality psychiatric and behavioral health services in a compassionate, convenient, and affordable manner. We work with external partners to provide services to patients across the country through integrated psychiatric medication management, substance use disorder treatment, counseling services, peer support and care coordination for seamless patient care. We believe in a "no wrong door" treatment model which finds ways to say "yes" to any patient referral rather than a multitude of exclusionary criteria found elsewhere. This approach reflects our values of improved patient and clinician experience, better outcomes, and lower costs.
Our providers treat all mental health and substance use disorders to a patient population ages 6 and up. Our philosophy is to incorporate all areas of care into a patient's wellbeing.
