Recover With An Experience Driven Team

We are a strong team here to guide you in overcoming addiction. That means you need a strong team guiding you to recovery. Addiction is a complicated and intelligent disease-not a moral failure you can bootcamp out.

We know every single person suffering from addiction can overcome it. How do we know this? Simple, almost every single counselor, staff member, or team leader is living an active life in recovery, even our founder Michael Dadashi.

Anyone who has been addicted knows how powerful the experience is. Substance abuse wraps people in cycles of selfishness and deceit forcing them to lie, cheat, and steal to survive. We also know addiction is often symptoms of deeper trauma or shame. That’s why we don’t rely on traditional ‘get dry’ treatment and instead create proactive environments with teams who have shared experiences and understand the path to recovery.

That is why at Infinite Recovery we have a team trained to create an environment to both challenge and heal.

To accomplish that, we combine empowering therapeutic techniques alongside a no-excuse policy. Every single client carries the expectation of both being an adult and partnering in their recovery. Both our programs and team are built to start recovery at where the client is when they come in while raising expectations on their maturity and recovery.

Every single client that comes to us is held to a high standard based on their needs. We recognize that each person’s situation, challenges, and abilities are unique. That is why our team works with you to develop your goals in a way that aligns with our standards so you can celebrate success on your own terms. We do this by responding to client recovery barriers with clinically tailored assessments and empowered interventions.

Michael Dadashi

CO-FOUNDER/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Our CEO Michael is the heart of Infinite Recovery. Clean and sober since 2009, Michael replaced his old attitudes with a new set of principles that motivated him to extend the same Life-saving second chances he had received to others struggling with addiction. He started by employing other recovering addicts at his e-waste recycling business, MHD Enterprises, which he has owned for more than a decade. Defying just about every possible conventional hiring practice, he grew MHD into an award-winning company.

In 2014, Michael took his mission to help addicts rebuild their lives one step further by opening Infinite Recovery. His goal was to provide a full continuum of care by equipping clients with the tools and support necessary for a successful second chance at life. In 2017 with the help of his talented wife, Ylianna, we launched a medical detox and residential facility and realized Michael’s dream of providing a full continuum of care.

Michael has the unique ability to bridge the gap between business and service to others. Michael supports various non-profit organizations such as Facing Addiction, Recovery People, Lifesteps, Austin Community College Foundation and serves on the board of Communities for Recovery and Teen and Family Services. Michael’s definition of success is to live life with complete purpose and passion for all he does both personally and professionally.

“My name is Tanner, and I am the Admissions Lead here at Infinite Recovery. Being in recovery myself, I am extremely passionate about healing families through the treatment process. I feel very grateful, because now I am in a position that I get to work with families and help them rebuild and reconstruct. When people call looking for help for their loved one- I’m the first voice that they hear. I get to be a voice of hope, because I have been through it. I also get to educate the families on the recovery process. I get to hopefully calm them somewhat, and offer them hope. Recovery Is a lifetime process for the families and their loved ones alike. Today I am so grateful to pay it forward, and offer families hope, and solution.” - Tanner W.

Ryan Derbes

DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS

``My name is Ryan Derbes, and I am very blessed to be part of an organization that teaches the same solution that saved my life. I struggled with addiction to oxycodone and heroin for several years and decided that I wanted to stop. It never occurred to me that maybe I couldn’t stop. I lost a multiple jobs, relationships, and burned through all the money I could get my individualized. I found myself in and out of rehabs and detoxes trying to figure out a way to stay sober and I was baffled, confused, and demoralized and so was my family. I was unable to say sober for longer than two months outside of a treatment center, and my life fell apart rapidly multiple times. During this time, I was kicked out of a rehab for getting caught sneaking drugs and alcohol in multiple times, and out of multiple sober livings for continuous relapses. I found myself in situations and places I never expected myself to ever be. Through the 12 step process, I gained access to a connection to a Power which saved me from myself. Through the relationship I now have with what I choose to call God, not only am I able to stay sober, but life is infinitely more fulfilling and satisfying. I am actually able to show up for people in my life today and see what I can add to life instead of what I can get out of it. I am truly grateful to be a part of the team at Infinite, and to be able to share what was given to me.`` - Ryan

Amanda Prine

ADMISSIONS LEAD

``My story started at a very young age. My family started getting me high when I was 5 until I was 14. For me I was shocked to find out in my mid 20’s that there was a whole world of people out there that led successful normal lives and did not use drugs. I thought it was normal and was raised to believe that. Dabbling with recovery was very painful and I found a whole lot of emotions that I didn’t realize that I had and all I wanted to do was bury those feelings. I finally decided I wanted more out of life. It took moving over 1000 miles away from everything I knew and loved for me to maintain my sobriety. I have been sober for almost 6 years now. The people that helped me the most in my recovery were the people that had been through it. I am so grateful to Infinite Recovery because now I get to be one of those people. I never would have dreamed this possible. I love helping people, talking to them when they call in, and doing whatever I can to get them into treatment. I feel like I am giving back and it is so rewarding. It does not feel like work it feels like what I was always meant to do.`` -Amanda

Complete Re-Integration Treatment

To successfully get sober and stay sober at our Alcohol and Drug Rehabs in Texas requires re-integrating into everyday life. This can be the most difficult part in the sobriety journey. To ensure a successful transition we offer complete re-integration treatment by providing a full continuum of care. Each level is designed and supported by professionals. They include guidance from a master’s level therapist, licensed addiction counselors, and our recovery support specialists. The path to wellness has ups and downs. That is why every level of treatment has a different level of intensity. These levels come in a unique combination of holistic and individualized approaches used to grow client wellness at our outpatient treatment Austin.

We guide each resident in the journey to recovery by helping them curate optimum treatment based on their experience.

Recovery is a unique experience and requires treatment tailored to each person’s health, state, and needs. That is why we promote a holistic approach. Through its lens, total recovery becomes a state of transformation. Recovery doesn’t work when it’s merely a vacation from the real world. That’s why we focus on both our residents’ integration and restoration. We help residents transform their health, relationships with the people that matter most, their work, school, social activities, and most importantly- their self.
