What We Do

Since 1962, Ascensa Health at St. Jude's Recovery Center has helped individuals with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders rebuild their lives to become healthy, self-sufficient, productive individuals.

Based in Metro Atlanta, Ascensa Health at St. Jude's Recovery Center provides behavioral health care for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders that sustains recovery and returns individuals to their families and communities. Our programs and services are based on the belief that addiction is a disease. We focus on treating the whole person and we support people over a lifetime of recovery.

Open to anyone seeking treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders, Ascensa Health at St. Jude's Recovery Center serves approximately 1,500 individuals per year. Most people who come to Ascensa Health at St. Jude's Recovery Center are low-income men and women, veterans and families with children. Many are experiencing homelessness, do not have health insurance, or cannot afford life-saving treatment.
