Ascend Healthcare is an adolescent residential treatment center in Los Angeles treating mental health and substance abuse disorders. The program is offered for adolescents aged 12 to 17 of all genders and gender identities. The center is two large homes in Encino, CA with full amenities and picturesque grounds and pools. Teens learn how to self-regulate in a healthy and functional manner in a safe and nurturing environment among their peers. School is attended on-site during treatment each day, and afternoons consist of a wide variety of personalized individual and group therapies. Parents are required to participate in the program with their child on family days, and a sibling support group is offered.
Teens participate in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with a full spectrum of experiential therapies such as art therapy, music therapy, surf therapy, equine therapy, horticulture, drama therapy, poetry therapy, sensorimotor therapy, and more. Ascend Healthcare accepts all PPO insurance policies, is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross, BCBS, and ComPsych, and can do single-case agreements (SCAs) for most insurance plans that do not have out of network benefits. 0
