About Ascend Recovery
Ascend Recovery operates a medical detox center in American Fork, Utah, providing medically supervised withdrawal management as part of their comprehensive addiction treatment services. Founded in 2008, this Joint Commission-accredited facility offers 24/7 medical supervision for safe detox protocols across their residential treatment campus. The center serves the greater Salt Lake City area with medical detox programs designed for patients requiring intensive withdrawal management.
The facility provides medical detox alongside residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and traditional outpatient care. Under the direction of Medical Director Dr. Susie Wiet, MD, the detox programs address substance use disorders with particular focus on co-occurring mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Clinical Director Bogie Bowles, LCSW, oversees withdrawal protocols that transition seamlessly into residential treatment when medically appropriate.
Ascend Recovery’s clinical approach integrates medical detox with trauma-informed care, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and somatic techniques during the withdrawal management process. The center’s three residential facilities – Lakehouse, Eagle View, and Montgomery House – provide specialized environments for different phases of detox and treatment. This structured progression allows for continuous medical supervision during withdrawal while preparing patients for ongoing recovery work.
The detox center primarily serves young adults aged 18-25, along with men and women experiencing co-occurring disorders requiring dual diagnosis treatment. Founder and Clinical Supervisor Ryan Salter, LCSW, established the program to address chronic relapse patterns often stemming from inadequate medical detox experiences. The facility accepts major insurance including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Humana, with treatment costs averaging $17,000.
