Treatment and Success

What is a GARS test?

The Genetic Addiction Risk Score (GARS) test, exclusive to Precision Recovery, identifies genetic predisposition to addiction. It allows the treatment team to evaluate participants and create personalized treatments for Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS), addressing the biological roots of addiction. No other company conducts GARS testing.

Do participants use medication?

Yes. Medically assisted treatment, using non-addictive medications, is standard in our program. Your medication and supplements are unique to you based on your genetics, diagnosis, and symptoms.

How is this program different from others?

Our program is the only one in the world to combine all the best empiric medical and counseling interventions for Reward Deficiency Syndrome and alcohol use disorder into one integrated approach. It treats addiction as a symptom of a deeper neurobiological disorder.

What is the program’s success rate?

Our program has a near-perfect success rate in preventing prison sentences and achieving sustained remission of alcohol use disorder for dedicated participants. While not flawless, similar programs report 95–96% permanent remission rates, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach.

How Do You Help Protect My Professional License?

How does the program demonstrate my commitment to recovery?

We provide detailed progress reports, expert testimony, and GARS test results to show licensing boards and courts that you are taking proactive steps toward recovery and rehabilitation.

Can the program help prevent license suspension or revocation?

Yes, our customized interventions and documented compliance with recovery plans often serve as evidence to mitigate or avoid disciplinary actions by professional licensing boards.

What specific tools support my legal defense for license protection?

Tools like genetic testing, treatment progress tracking, and expert legal collaborations strengthen your case, showing your dedication to overcoming addiction and maintaining professional standards.

Legal and Court Questions

Am I guaranteed to avoid prison?

While there is no guarantee, the majority of our participants avoid jail time.

What happens if you violate probation?

Violating probation may result in legal consequences, but our program provides tools and support to ensure compliance and prevent setbacks.

Am I eligible for the Precision Recovery Program if I have a misdemeanor offense?

Typically, misdemeanors are not eligible unless the participant is a licensed professional whose career is impacted by the arrest. Exceptions may also be made for BAC over .15, which can escalate a DWI second offense to a felony.

Genetic and Alcohol Use Questions

What happens if I get a low genetic score?

This is rare. Over 95% of individuals with DWI felony charges show high genetic risk scores. If a low score occurs, retesting and alternative treatments are considered.

How long does alcohol recovery take?

Recovery timelines vary based on individual needs, but our program provides structured support for several years to ensure long-term success.

How do I get sober?

Our program offers comprehensive medical, emotional, and legal support to help you achieve and maintain sobriety. From medications to counseling, we guide you through every step of recovery.

How Do You Help Attorneys Protect Their Clients Facing DWI Felony Charges?

How does the program support an attorney’s defense strategy?

We provide comprehensive progress reports, expert testimony, and GARS test results to strengthen your client’s case by demonstrating their commitment to recovery.

Can the program help reduce sentencing for clients?

Yes. Our individualized recovery plans and consistent documentation often help attorneys negotiate reduced sentences or probation by highlighting their client’s proactive efforts toward rehabilitation.

What unique resources do you offer to assist attorneys?
