Illness Management and Recovery is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals better understand and manage co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. At Granite Recovery Centers, IMR is used as part of a comprehensive behavioral health approach to support long-term recovery and stability. IMR is especially effective because it empowers individuals to take an active role in their recovery. Rather than just treating symptoms, it encourages lasting lifestyle changes and personal growth. When combined with other therapies like CBT or DBT, IMR becomes a powerful part of a holistic recovery plan.
