Ascent Health is an outpatient addiction treatment provider in Lakewood, Colorado offering evidence-based care for opioid and other substance use disorders, including medication assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and supportive services.
We provide individualized outpatient services including:
• Comprehensive Outpatient Program – structured group and individual sessions to build recovery skills.
• Supportive Outpatient Programming (SOP) – a step-down program after completing the Comprehensive Outpatient Program, to help maintain long-term recovery.
• Medication management and supportive therapy to address both addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns.
MAT combines FDA-approved medications like Buprenorphine and Naloxone with supportive therapy to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making recovery safer and more comfortable.
