About Praesum

Praesum Healthcare is the parent operator of Evolve Recovery Center. We were founded in 2004 with the goal of providing dignified therapy for those who want help for substance use and behavioral health disorders. We believe that drug and alcohol rehab is most successful when you receive individualized, empathetic care in a comfortable setting.

We began with a single Sunrise Detox location and then grew our network to feature many behavioral healthcare facilities across five states. The differing types of facilities meet the specific requirements of our patients. This continuum of care means you are supported at every step of your addiction recovery journey.
