WE ARE HERE TO SERVE YOU
Our Team
Meet our professional and highly trained staff who set Desert Recovery Centers apart from any other addiction and mental health recovery program in the valley.
Meet Our Staff
Led by our three owners, Jason Inserra, Thai Nguyen, and Dr. An Nguyen, our staff is unique for their passion and commitment, especially because most of our staff members were in recovery themselves. The perspective they bring to the table is invaluable for connecting with and helping our clients. Successful treatment outcomes require collaboration between the client and the treatment team. Because of this philosophy, our patients enjoy support throughout the recovery process and beyond.
Our clients receive comprehensive care from our on-site team of medical experts and licensed therapists, who provide targeted, evidence-based treatments like CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing.
Alongside these therapies, clients enjoy weekly wellness services, including massage therapy, yoga sessions, personal fitness training, Softwave Therapy, and chiropractic care. Integrated with 12-step programming and thorough aftercare planning, this holistic approach supports the complete well-being of mind, body, and spirit, ensuring a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
