Immersion Recovery Center

How We Treat Addiction

At Immersion Recovery Center, our addiction treatment method is comprehensive and multifaceted, combining the transformative power of the 12 Steps, a spectrum of evidence-based clinical therapies, and holistic approaches. We understand that addiction impacts every aspect of an individual’s life—physically, emotionally, mentally, socially, and spiritually. Our approach meticulously addresses these facets to achieve lasting recovery, ensuring a well-rounded and profoundly effective treatment experience. 

The Immersion Experience

A spiritual experience is the ultimate goal of treatment and the recovery process.  

We define a spiritual experience as a change in personality sufficient to recover from addiction. The spiritual experience occurs through the treatment work required by the Immersion clinical program. This process begins with educating our clients on the disease model of addiction and related behaviors.  A client must have clarity on the addicted condition and how it influences their thoughts and actions.  

The next phase of the Immersion program is building resolve and motivation for the action required by the recovery process.  This is followed by an intensive 2 to 4 week examination of what is blocking the spiritual experience.  Most clients have had multiple treatment episodes and some historical periods of abstinence before entering our program. This process identifies the reasons a person fails to enter into recovery as well as contributing factors to relapse and disengagement from a recovery program. 

The addicted individual suffers from thought patterns, attitudes, and behaviors that prevent sobriety.  Most of these thoughts center on anger, self-centered fear, and the emotional consequences of their conduct.  Once these patterns are identified, clients can embark on a journey to remove all that is “broken” within them.  This journey involves re-entering society as sober individuals and establishing purpose and usefulness.  We can provide our clients with the complete skill set necessary to arrive at long-term recovery from active addiction through the last phase of the Immersion program.

Unlike many programs, Immersion Recovery Center integrates traditional clinical and medical care with a thorough integration of the 12-Step recovery process. This combination offers a comprehensive path to recovery, addressing not just the physical aspects of addiction but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual components. Our personalized approach, with phases tailored to individual needs, ensures a more thorough recovery journey. 

The Immersion Experience at Immersion Recovery Center is structured into three phases to address addiction recovery:

• Phase 1—Stabilization Phase — This phase includes detox and assessment, focusing on physical and emotional stabilization. 
• Phase 2—Motivation Phase — In this phase, clients work on identifying destructive behavioral patterns and engaging in various therapies to address these issues.
• Phase 3—Reintegration Phase — The final phase prepares clients for independent living and long-term recovery, emphasizing skills for a sober lifestyle.

Each phase is designed to build upon the previous one, providing a comprehensive and structured path to recovery. 

12-Step Mentoring

Our unique and immersive 12-Step Mentoring program is a cornerstone of our addiction treatment approach. Rooted in the principles of the 12-Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, our method combines clinical therapies, holistic treatments, and a comprehensive exploration of the 12 Steps. We believe in a supportive environment where our experienced team, including therapists and 12-Step contacts, guide clients through actionable steps toward recovery and a significant shift in perspective. This holistic approach ensures our clients engage in a transformative journey that addresses every aspect of recovery.

Levels of Care—Phase 1

Phase 1 of the treatment process at Immersion Recovery Center is focused on stabilization, assessment, education, and motivation. The duration typically ranges from 3 to 28 days, based on individual needs. This phase starts with detoxification to remove physical dependency on substances, followed by residential treatment, where clients are assessed and an individualized recovery plan is implemented. Clients learn about addiction and its impact on their thoughts and actions, beginning their journey in the 12-Step program. Phase 1 is essential for laying the foundation for further treatment phases. 

Phase 1 of the Immersion Recovery Center’s program is a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment, focusing on critical areas:

• Medical Stabilization — This involves safe detoxification to manage withdrawal symptoms and cleanse the body of substances.
• Initial Assessment — During the initial stage of the treatment process, clients undergo a multi-pronged assessment. This provides the clinical team with insight into each individual’s unique clinical needs, helping them develop a personalized treatment plan. 
• Client Education — We educate our clients on the disease model of addiction and the root cause of detrimental thought and behavioral patterns. 
• Introduction to 12 Steps — We thoroughly familiarize clients with the 12 Steps philosophy to aid recovery.

Medical Detoxification 

Immersion Recovery Center’s medical detox program is the essential first step for long-term sobriety. It addresses withdrawal symptoms that arise when ceasing drug or alcohol use. The program includes a comprehensive evaluation, stabilization, and preparation for further treatment. The detox process is tailored to individual needs, considering factors like substance type, usage duration, and severity. Our center provides 24/7 clinical and medical care, medication management, and support for relapse prevention, alongside family counseling.
