Astra Recovery Centers LLC - DBA Ascension Center for Recovery

Focused Residential And Outpatient Care In Bardstown

Ascension Center for Recovery in Bardstown, Kentucky, provides short- and long-term residential treatment (4–6 weeks) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for adults addressing substance use and co-occurring mental-health disorders. A calm, home-like environment, with shared rooms, lounges, a dining area, and a kitchenette, offers structure without isolation. Daily routines balance therapy, wellness activities, and peer connection so clients can focus fully on recovery.

Integrated Medical And Therapeutic Support

Clients begin with a comprehensive assessment to clarify medical and behavioral-health needs. Care may include withdrawal management, ongoing medical oversight, and weekly psychiatric sessions. Individual, group, and family therapy address both the physical and emotional drivers of substance use, while medications for addiction treatment can be incorporated when appropriate to support stabilization and relapse prevention.

Faith-Optional Pathways Alongside Evidence-Based Care

For clients who want a spiritual component, the program offers an optional faith-based track that includes devotionals, spiritual/existential classes, and the Celebrate Recovery curriculum. These elements sit alongside secular therapy and 12-step options, allowing individuals to choose the pathway that best fits their values while keeping treatment grounded in evidence-based care.

Practical Supports That Reduce Barriers

High-intensity case management ties treatment to real-life progress, including help with housing, legal needs, and benefits. Employment counseling supports financial stability. Gender-specific groups promote comfort and safety. Transportation assistance and telehealth options improve access, and the team coordinates with outside providers to maintain continuity of care from admission through aftercare planning.
