Great people with huge hearts! Everyone tries their best even when faced with the worst behaviors, thinking and unstable emotions from those fresh off the streets. The staff here treat the clients like normal people and not below or different from themselves 💪🩷 I can see the passion!

Ascend Recovery and Counseling Services in Portsmouth, Ohio failed to provide fair or ethical treatment during my stay. I followed the rules, made progress in my recovery, and even served as Head of Household for three weeks with no disciplinary issues. Despite this, I was treated unfairly and experienced retaliation after reporting staff misconduct. Major issues: • Retaliation — After reporting a group facilitator for targeting and unprofessional behavior, staff attitudes toward me changed and my progress was blocked. • Delayed phase advancement — I was not phased up appropriately. My counselor later admitted I had not been given required assignments, yet my progress was still held back. • False accusations — I was accused of not participating right before I was supposed to phase up. This was untrue and contradicted my documented progress. • Lack of transparency — When I asked for written policies explaining decisions affecting my treatment, they would not provide them. • Denied critical emotional support — I requested support for a major facial reconstructive surgery appointment at the cancer hospital and was refused. This caused severe emotional distress and a panic attack. This facility talks about recovery but does not practice fairness, accountability, or trauma-informed care. Clients deserve honesty and respect. I did not receive either here.

Ascend is a very good place they really care for you from the top down I really learned a lot there thank you

lol . trash . i mean structure is coo and supposed to be a part of rehabilitation but as a client i had no say so in my decisions . they control everything . literally . and force you to bow down .
