Assisted Recovery has a proven history in treating individuals suffering from alcohol dependence who come to us from throughout the United States and beyond. We created the program in recognition of the difficulty in accessing a state-of-the-art evidence-based treatment program.

Researching various program protocols quickly confirms that the vast majority of treatment in the United States is based on the Minnesota or 12-Step model. Assisted Recovery is proud to be the first in the nation to offer the evidence-based Pennsylvania Model of Recovery.

The Accelerated two-week program is crafted to meet the needs of busy individuals living outside of the metropolitan Phoenix area. While we recommend two weeks, the program can be completed in one week. The key to the success of this program is the utilization of effective medications, which within fifteen minutes of ingestion, often suppress the intense thought process or craving to drink alcohol. This levels the playing field, allowing the individual to be successful in a less restrictive environment.

Immediately upon arrival in Phoenix, a new Accelerated Client will complete the intake process and is seen by our Medical Director, Dr. Sam Walker, NMD. Medication is initiated immediately, providing relief from cravings that have burdened the individual for many years.

that has been on my back
for years, clawing harder
and harder, simply jump off.”

Family and friends are in recovery also. Assisted Recovery recognizes that the people closest to you are also in recovery. As such, we encourage all of our clients to consider including the people in their lives to be involved in the process of recovery.

A typical day includes a two-hour, one-on-one session, a group meeting and reasonable amount of homework. Group sessions last approximately ninety minutes. Our goal, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is to assist individuals in not only eliminating alcohol dependence from their lives, but to be happy that they did. To this end, Assisted Recovery utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy tools, for example doing an ABC to deal with a trigger, as developed by Dr. Albert Ellis, PhD

Upon return home, follow-up is provided via our Online Program. This includes a twice a week live chat session with an Assisted Recovery counselor. Accelerated clients are also encouraged to utilize the toll-free number for additional support as needed.

 

We urge all our out of area Accelerated Clients to view their time with Assisted Recovery as more of a “working vacation” rather than a trip to an IRS office.

Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the United States, offering a wealth of cultural and entertainment venues ranging from the world renowned Heard Museum to major league sporting events.

Sunday is an open day which an individual can relax and reflect, or go exploring. Centrally located, Phoenix is the hub of this vibrant and beautiful state. To the north is the high country with towering pines and soothing breezes. The Grand Canyon, with unsurpassed natural splendor is one hour north of Flagstaff, which is the home of the world famous Lowell Observatory. To the east is located Meteor Crater and the Petrified Forest, while to the west there is the Colorado River recreation areas. Or you can head south to Tucson and the historic “Old Pueblo. One-hour further south is exotic Old Mexico.

Accommodations:
Accelerated Clients generally check in to an area extended stay hotel. There are several options within fifteen minutes of the clinic, and we are happy to make recommendations. A client with local ties can of course stay with family or friends while in treatment. Our recommendations (based on proximity to the clinic) range from an economical but very nice studio at Extended Stay America, to the very comfortable resort of the Hilton at Point at Tapatio Cliff, to the opulent Phoenician Resort. Extended Stay of America offers a full kitchen, including utensils, cable television and Internet access. The Point at Tapatio Cliff offers full service in a family environment, while the Phoenician defines an upscale experience. A client may choose to rent a car or we will be happy to pick up and return clients from all treatment appointments and events.
