About Us

Ascension Recovery Services is more than a consulting group, we’re a partner in building programs that heal people, strengthen communities, and deliver measurable results. As an organization, we are dedicated to expanding access to high-quality, financially sustainable behavioral health treatment programs across West Virginia, the region, and the United States.

Our Story

Our story began in 2011, when founder and CEO Douglas Leech personally experienced the lack of local treatment options during his personal recovery journey. That gap became the catalyst for Ascension Recovery Services. Today, our mission is clear: ensure that individuals in every community have access to the care they need close to home.

As a national program developer and operator, ARS brings turnkey strategy, construction and design, regulatory expertise, and proven operational performance models to every partnership.

The result
: treatment programs that are financially viable, clinically sound, and built to last.

RS is proud of the growing number of programs we’ve built and the thousands of individuals who are now thriving in recovery because those doors were opened.
