iRecover is a Canadian based company, founded by Jim Gray. After 3 years of service to hundreds of suffering addicts and alcoholics Jim’s passion for recovery led to bringing in longtime friend and independent filmmaker Christian Sesma.

Sesma partnered with the facility to help addicts on their road to recovery.

“What this is, is a message from me. personally a message of hope and advocacy of what i-Recovery stands for. We’re really here to have a program that is an answer to the mental illness of substance abuse and alcohol,” said Sesma.

The center offers 6 to 8 week programs, it includes 30 beds for detox and treatment.

iRecover calls itself a tech-driven addiction recovery program. All participants receive their own tablet, with courses specific to the center to create a interactive experience.
