We at Turning Point of Arnold are proud to partner with Dr. Phil and his team in offering their new, innovative approach to recovery called Dr. Phil’s Path to Recovery. This new age effective treatment uses cutting edge virtual reality technology to help individuals overcome drug and/or alcohol addiction. We believe that this innovative treatment approach is a perfect fit for our interdisciplinary curriculum and multifaceted approach to treating addiction.
Here is a brief look at how Dr. Phil’s Path to Recovery works and what makes it so effective for treating addiction.
Uses powerful virtual reality technology
Dr. Phil’s Path to Recovery is fueled by powerful virtual reality technology. When individuals put on the VR headset during treatment, they will temporarily be transplanted from their rehab facility to an environment much like what they will encounter after treatment. The individual might find themselves in a bustling social setting, for example, or in a relaxing poolside environment. The individual then has the opportunity to sit down face-to-face with Dr. Phil, who will teach them important stress management and coping skills for life after treatment.
Teaches important recovery skills
Dr. Phil’s exclusive recovery method helps individuals learn how to handle the high risk situations they will face after leaving rehab. It does so by exposing individuals to the types of triggers they will face after treatment, all while they are still in a safe and secure environment. In addition, Dr. Phil teaches individuals how they can cope with these triggers once they do encounter them in life after treatment.
Eases the transition
One of our fundamental beliefs at Turning Point of Arnold is that the best treatment programs help individuals transition back into life after treatment. (That is why we offer transitional living, job readiness training, money management classes, and more as part of our curriculum.) Dr. Phil’s Path to Recovery is founded on this same principle. Dr. Phil and his team understand that the most dangerous part of recovery is making that transition from the structured environment of a rehab facility to the unsupervised world outside.
