Levels of care

Treatment programs

Every level of care shares one Albuquerque campus, so clients step down without switching providers.

The Ascend Recovery Centers metal sign and a Buddha statue on a blue accent wall in the Albuquerque lobby
01Medical Detox

Medical detox is medically supervised withdrawal with licensed practical nurses on site 24 hours a day and CIWA or COWS monitoring. A provider sees new detox clients within hours, so the hardest early days are managed safely and comfortably before treatment begins.

02Inpatient Rehab (Residential)

Residential treatment is live-in care in an intimate 18-bed setting, built around evidence-based therapy, group work, and rest. Clients get round-the-clock structure and support while they stabilize and build a foundation for lasting recovery.

03Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

A partial hospitalization program delivers full clinical days while a client returns home each evening. It is the highest level of outpatient-style care and a strong step down from detox or residential treatment, keeping intensive support in place without a live-in stay.

04Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

An intensive outpatient program provides several clinical hours a few days a week, so clients keep up work, school, and family responsibilities. It continues therapy and accountability while a client rebuilds daily routines at home.

05Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient care offers lighter, ongoing individual and group support for clients further along in recovery. It protects progress with continued therapy, relapse-prevention planning, and a connection to the same clinical team.

Ascend Recovery Center reviews

Mildred Hughes

Walking through those doors the first day, my hands wouldn't stop shaking. Alcohol destroyed my relationships and left me completely isolated. Thankfully, the counselors here actually listened instead of lecturing. Sitting in these exact group circles changed everything for me. Hearing other people share their raw, real struggles made the loneliness disappear. Celebrating six months sober today. This place gives you your life back.

Coming here felt like a massive leap into the unknown, especially dealing with all that shame I carried around. The team at Ascend Recovery Center didn't treat me like a problem to be solved, but a person worth helping. There were days I wanted to pack my bags and bolt, but the support here kept me grounded. Now, I actually wake up without that weight on my chest. It's hard to put into words, but this place truly changed my trajectory.

Had an amazing experience here, one of the most personable groups of people to come to for recovery and truly helped me with developing the tools necessary to start my recovery. Did the 10 day detox and got exactly what I wanted out of the experience: healthy nutrition, great groups, and even your own personal TV in the rooms to help pass the time. If you're serious about your recovery and want a wholesome, worthwhile and safe place to do it, I recommend coming here.

How admissions works

Getting started takes one confidential call

1

Call our confidential line

One conversation covers a first screening, insurance verification, and scheduling. Support begins with the first call, and nothing shared is used against the person who reaches out.

2

Clinical assessment

Evidence-based screenings, including PHQ-9, GAD-7, the Columbia Suicide Screening, and an ASAM level-of-care assessment, match each client to the right program.

3

The right level of care

If medically supervised detox is needed, the team coordinates a safe arrival with 24/7 nursing. If an outpatient level fits, care starts there instead.

4

Start treatment

Once a plan and coverage are confirmed, treatment begins, with therapy and medication where appropriate carrying through each level of care.
