About Ascensa Health
Serving Atlanta since 1962, Ascensa Health has served adults seeking treatment for substance use disorder (SUD), including those without insurance, with limited coverage, or without stable housing. They offer a 24-bed medically monitored withdrawal program, gender-specific residential care, medication services, outpatient treatment, and continued recovery support across several levels of care.
Grow Through Structured Residential Care
The residential treatment at Ascensa Health offers separate programs for adult men and women, with 52 beds for men and 18 for women. Clients receive individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, relapse prevention, family counseling, spirituality groups, and health services, while staff also support nutrition education, résumé writing, interview preparation, financial literacy, computer training, employment goals, and housing transitions.
Maintain Progress with Support
Outpatient services include intensive outpatient treatment (IOP), low-intensity treatment, and evening sessions Tuesday through Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. Ascensa Health uses medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol and opioid addiction alongside individual and group therapy, while recovery support remains available for as long as clients need it.

Center Overview

Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
This center offers MAT, but does not list specific medications for treatment. Contact the center for details for specific MAT medications.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
