About Oasis Ascent
Set in scenic Provo, Utah, OASIS Ascent provides short-term residential care for adolescents aged 13–17 who are dealing with behavioral health challenges. Services are designed to address issues such as mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, suicidal thoughts, substance use, and related concerns. Length of stay typically falls between 60 and 90 days, depending on each teen’s specific situation. OASIS Ascent works with a number of private insurance plans, although coverage is generally out-of-network.
For teens facing urgent mental health crises, treatment includes medication management provided by psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners. Psychological evaluations are also used to guide personalized care plans. OASIS Ascent carries out these assessments to gain a clearer understanding of each client’s needs. During the program, teens participate in individual therapy using evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Group therapy led by trained staff helps residents build connection, learn coping strategies, and develop essential life skills. Family therapy is centered on improving communication and addressing family dynamics, while also helping caregivers understand how to support their teen throughout treatment. Alongside clinical services, recreational and creative therapies—such as basketball, climbing, yoga, art, and music—are incorporated to strengthen overall engagement and healing.
OASIS Ascent also features an accredited on-site school with a structured daily academic routine and individualized learning support tailored to each student’s needs.
