At I Choose Me Recovery & Wellness we offer Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement. (MORE) is an evidence-based therapy, supported by more than 16 clinical trials and over $80 million in federal research grants (e.g., NIH, DOD), that unites innovative mindfulness, reappraisal, and savoring techniques, rooted in mindfulness meditation, “third wave” cognitive-behavioral therapy, and principles from positive psychology, into an integrative, unique, and sequenced mind-body treatment approach. The MORE program is detailed in a treatment manual designed for use by therapists (and patients). Eric Garland, PhD, LCSW developed MORE by translating fundamental discoveries from cognitive and affective neuroscience into targeted therapeutic strategies that reduce addictive behavior, emotional distress, and chronic pain, while simultaneously increasing healthy pleasure, meaning in life, and self-transcendence. MORE has been shown to be nearly three times as effective as standard therapy for treating addiction and chronic pain. All Neural Science Institute therapists are fully certified in Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE). Each clinician has completed formal training in the MORE Therapy program, ensuring consistent, evidence-based implementation of its core methods across all sessions. This certification reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of clinical excellence and delivering integrative, neuroscience-informed care to every patient. Explore a new era in recovery, as Neural Pathway Therapy helps restore balance and resilience for those navigating substance use disorders, combining neuroscience and real-life healing to make a difference.
At I CHOOSE ME Recovery & Wellness Center, our virtual services make it easier to start, and stay, in treatment. We understand real life: work schedules, family responsibilities, transportation barriers, privacy concerns, and the pressure of transitions after detox, residential care, or incarceration. Virtual care removes those obstacles while keeping the structure, consistency, and clinical quality that recovery requires.
Our virtual program offers secure, scheduled telehealth services such as:
Virtual care works best when it’s organized and intentional. That’s why our program includes:
Clients don’t just “log in.” They follow a plan, and we help them stick to it.
Some clients benefit from both formats. When appropriate, we offer a hybrid path that combines virtual and in-person services. This keeps clients connected when life changes, work demands, transportation issues, or family responsibilities, so treatment stays consistent instead of getting interrupted.
Virtual care is not a shortcut. It’s a flexible, clinically guided approach that helps clients build recovery in the environment where it matters most, everyday life. If you’re ready to start, we’re ready to support you.

At I CHOOSE ME Recovery & Wellness Center, we are committed to making care truly accessible—especially for Veterans and individuals living with mobility impairments or physical limitations. We recognize that the road to recovery can be complicated by chronic pain, service-related injuries, PTSD, limited transportation, and barriers within traditional treatment settings. Our approach is built to meet clients where they are, with dignity, respect, and practical support.
We provide a Veteran-respectful, trauma-informed environment that understands the realities many service members and their families face. Our team supports Veterans navigating substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health concerns, stress injuries, grief, life transitions, and reintegration challenges. We emphasize structure, accountability, and purpose-driven healing—helping Veterans rebuild routines, restore emotional balance, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with meaning beyond survival mode. When appropriate, we coordinate care with outside providers and support systems to ensure continuity and wraparound support.
I CHOOSE ME is designed to reduce barriers for clients with limited mobility, including those using wheelchairs, walkers, canes, or managing chronic pain and medical conditions. We prioritize accessible participation through:
Our goal is simple: no one should be denied quality care because of mobility limitations. We make it possible to engage in treatment consistently, safely, and comfortably—without lowering the standard of care.
Whether you’re a Veteran seeking a program that understands your journey, or someone with mobility challenges needing a truly accessible path to recovery, I CHOOSE ME offers a supportive, structured, and empowering environment—both in-person and virtually. We help clients stabilize, heal, and build a recovery lifestyle that lasts.
