Ascend Recovery - Lake House

They provide inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in American Fork is set up for.

They provide detox for 5 substances: opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and American Fork has 8 other centers.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near American Fork, not all of them do.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and American Fork has 8 other centers to ask.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in American Fork often still has to be in person.

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

They normally continue, and a prescriber at the program reviews the whole list on arrival. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.

Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. A call outside office hours often reaches an answering service rather than an intake worker, which is worth knowing before judging a program by it. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.
