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 four large homes in Los Angeles, CA with full amenities and picturesque grounds and pools.
