The program is called Action Based Induction Therapy ABIT which consists of various team-based drills adapted from Navy SEAL training exercises. McMillen brought in former NAVY Seal Vets and has implemented their highly intensive training program into their addiction treatment model. The results have been extraordinary.
ABIT helps rebuild, repair and strengthen the prefrontal cortex, frontal lobe that plays a role in the regulation of complex cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning and Tree House is the first to implement the model.
