Lilac Grove Integrated Recovery Model™
Why Our Approach Is Different
Many addiction programs focus only on stopping the addictive behavior. While this can be an important first step, lasting recovery requires more than simply eliminating a behavior. True recovery involves understanding how thoughts, emotions, and habits interact—and learning how to change those patterns over time.
At Lilac Grove, we use an integrated approach that combines Neurobehavioral Awareness Training (NBAT) with the Three-Prong Addiction Recovery System (3PARS) to guide clients through a structured and supportive recovery process.
Step 1: Neurobehavioral Awareness Training (NBAT)
Recovery begins with awareness. Through Neurobehavioral Awareness Training, clients learn how automatic thoughts, emotional reactions, and unconscious patterns influence their behavior.
Many addictive behaviors develop as automatic coping responses to stress, emotional discomfort, or learned habits. NBAT helps individuals recognize these patterns as they occur, allowing them to pause, reflect, and make healthier choices. This increased awareness becomes the foundation for meaningful behavioral change.
Step 2: The Three-Prong Addiction Recovery System (3PARS)
Once individuals begin recognizing their patterns, the Three-Prong Addiction Recovery System provides a structured path for recovery.
Behavior Replacement
Clients identify healthy or enjoyable activities that can replace addictive behaviors, helping interrupt harmful habits and create new routines.
Rebuilding Integrity and Relationships
Recovery also involves addressing behaviors that often accompany addiction, such as lying, hiding behaviors, or people-pleasing. This stage focuses on developing honesty, accountability, and healthier relationship dynamics.
Understanding the Root Causes of Addiction
Long-term recovery includes exploring the deeper emotional, psychological, and life experiences that may have contributed to the development of addiction. This insight helps individuals build lasting strategies for maintaining recovery.
Our process is simple and thoughtful.
A Comprehensive Path to Recovery
By combining neurobehavioral awareness with structured recovery steps, the Lilac Grove Integrated Recovery Model helps individuals move from awareness, to behavior change, to deeper personal understanding. This integrated process supports both immediate progress and long-term healing.
In-person and remote options
While our office is located near Phoenix, Arizona, most clients participate through secure remote individual & group sessions that make treatment accessible and flexible.
Our Phoenix location also serves as a gathering place for periodic in-person reset retreats, where clients can step away from daily stressors, reconnect with their recovery goals, and deepen their personal growth.
Is Remote Addiction Treatment Effective?
Yes. For many individuals, remote treatment can be just as effective as in-person care. Virtual sessions allow clients to receive consistent support while remaining in their own environment, where real-life challenges and triggers naturally occur.
Remote treatment also makes it easier to stay engaged in recovery while balancing work, family responsibilities, and daily life. Rather than needing to travel to appointments, clients can participate in sessions from the privacy and comfort of their own home.
At Lilac Grove, remote sessions are conducted through secure video platforms and are designed to provide the same level of thoughtful, personalized care as in-person treatment. Clients can work through behavioral patterns, develop greater awareness of their thoughts and emotions, and build practical recovery skills in a supportive therapeutic setting.
For many people, the flexibility of remote treatment strengthens the recovery process by allowing recovery work to be integrated directly into everyday life.
Who Remote Treatment Works Best For
Remote addiction treatment can be an excellent option for individuals who want meaningful support while continuing to live and work in their daily environment.
Remote treatment may be especially helpful for people who:
• Prefer the privacy and comfort of receiving care from home
• Have busy work or family schedules that make travel difficult
• Live outside the Phoenix area or in another state
• Want consistent support while managing real-life stressors and triggers
• Are motivated to develop healthier coping strategies and personal insight
Because sessions take place in the context of everyday life, clients are often able to apply new skills and insights immediately. This can make the recovery process more practical, personal, and sustainable over time.
For those who wish to deepen their work, optional in-person reset retreats in Phoenix provide opportunities for reflection, connection, and renewed focus on recovery goals.
