Client Experiences
What Do Fort Lauderdale Families Say About Ascend?
“I spent years cycling through treatment centers in Broward County. Going to Ascend in Palm Beach Gardens broke that cycle. The distance from Fort Lauderdale was exactly what I needed. The clinical team was serious and the treatment plan was built around me, not a one-size-fits-all model.”
“My brother drove from Wilton Manors to Palm Beach Gardens for IOP three days a week. It was a commitment, but the quality of care at Ascend was worth it. The family therapy sessions helped us understand what recovery actually looks like.”

Local Context
What Should You Know About Fort Lauderdale?
Fort Lauderdale is the county seat of Broward County, Florida, with a population of approximately 183,000 residents. The city is one of the largest metropolitan areas in South Florida and serves as a major center for tourism, marine industries, and healthcare. Broward County faces significant substance use challenges, with consistently elevated rates of opioid overdose, alcohol-related emergencies, and stimulant use. Fort Lauderdale and the broader Broward corridor contain a high density of treatment facilities, and many residents seek care in Palm Beach County for a more focused, clinical environment with lower client-to-staff ratios. Ascend Recovery Center in Palm Beach Gardens provides that alternative — evidence-based programming, individualized treatment planning, and a clinical team that prioritizes meaningful therapeutic engagement over volume.
