Cypress Lake Recovery is proud to announce the addition of Dr. Phil’s Path to Recovery to our rehabilitation program. On April 5th, 2017, Cypress Lake Recovery integrated this groundbreaking virtual reality (VR) program designed to help reduce recidivism and improve overall outcomes for inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Developed by Dr. Phil McGraw and Jay McGraw, and recently introduced on his #1 rated national talk show , Dr. Phil’s Path to Recovery VR program will add an influence to our patients’ lives in the form of Dr. Phil himself –his distinctive voice delivered from exclusive locations that our patients would never normally have access to, including on-stage at his show and sitting with him in his private office. With more than 45 years of experience working in the mental health profession and addiction recovery, Dr. Phil understands like no one else what it takes for someone to make a drastic change in the direction of their life.
As a complement to our current inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, Cypress Lake Recovery believes this program will put our facility at the forefront of virtual reality technology in healthcare. We are proud to add this tool to our counselors’ arsenal.
