A strong interest exists in chemical dependency treatment facilities, residential treatment centers and cooperative joint venture arrangements with medical surgical general hospitals in order to increase the quality and profitability of their behavioral healthcare services. The key to Ascend’s prior success has been the development of attractive clinical programs and the effective dissemination of the availability of such services in local communities and in the national marketplace.
