About

About Immersion Residential

Immersion Residential is a Joint Commission-accredited addiction treatment facility located at 900 N Congress Ave in Boynton Beach, Florida — part of Palm Beach County — offering medical detoxification as its entry point into a structured, multi-level continuum of care. The facility operates 24 hours a day and is led by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tamer Wassef, MD, CDS, ADM, ADP, whose credentials span addiction medicine and clinical pharmacology. For individuals and families facing a withdrawal crisis, Immersion Residential provides medically supervised detox before any transition to longer-term treatment.

The levels of care at Immersion Residential span the full treatment spectrum. Beginning with Medical Detoxification, the continuum moves into Residential Inpatient, then Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Sober Living, and Virtual Treatment. This range means a patient who enters for acute withdrawal management can remain within the same clinical organization as their level of need decreases — avoiding the disruption of transferring to an entirely new provider.

Clinically, the program addresses substance use disorder, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and co-occurring mental health disorders through a dual diagnosis framework. Therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, individual, group, and family therapy, as well as relapse prevention, yoga therapy, nutritional therapy, and acupuncture therapy. The clinical team includes licensed clinical social workers in both outpatient and administrative leadership roles, alongside a dedicated family therapist — reflecting a program structure that treats the broader system around the individual, not only the individual in isolation.

Immersion Residential accepts most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Florida Blue, Highmark, Molina, and others, as well as self-pay. The facility is an appropriate option for adults dealing with substance use disorder or co-occurring psychiatric conditions who require medically supervised detox followed by a clearly defined step-down pathway. Joint Commission accreditation signals that the facility meets national standards for clinical quality and organizational performance.

  • Medical detoxification available as the entry point to a full step-down continuum — detox through sober living under one clinical organization
  • Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tamer Wassef holds credentials in addiction medicine (MD, CDS, ADM, ADP), providing physician-level oversight of withdrawal management
  • Joint Commission accredited — one of the benchmark standards for clinical quality in addiction treatment facilities
  • Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders is built into the program, not offered as an add-on
  • Open 24 hours, with multiple insurance carriers accepted including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Florida Blue, and Molina

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management at Immersion Residential

Medical Detoxification is the first level of care in Immersion Residential's treatment continuum. For individuals whose substance use has created a physical dependence, attempting withdrawal without medical supervision carries real clinical risk. Immersion Residential's 24-hour operating schedule and physician-led medical team — headed by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tamer Wassef, MD — are structured to monitor and manage withdrawal safely before transitioning patients into the next appropriate phase of treatment.

Following medical detox, patients at Immersion Residential have a direct pathway into Residential Inpatient care, which means the clinical relationship and treatment history established during detox does not have to be rebuilt at a separate facility. This continuity is a meaningful structural advantage for individuals who are medically stabilized but not yet clinically ready for a lower level of care.

Levels of Care: From Inpatient Detox to Virtual Treatment

Immersion Residential offers six distinct levels of care: Medical Detoxification, Residential Inpatient, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Sober Living, and Virtual Treatment. This range allows the facility to match the intensity of services to a patient's current clinical needs and to adjust that match over time as the patient progresses or encounters setbacks. Not every patient will move linearly through all levels, but having each tier available within the same organization reduces the coordination burden on patients and families.

The inclusion of Virtual Treatment as a formal level of care extends access for patients who have completed a residential or PHP phase but need structured clinical support without daily on-site attendance. Combined with an Alumni Program and Aftercare Planning, Immersion Residential's structure acknowledges that the period following active treatment is a distinct clinical phase requiring its own support.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Addressing Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders

Among the conditions treated at Immersion Residential, co-occurring mental health disorders are explicitly listed alongside substance use disorder, alcohol addiction, and drug addiction. This dual diagnosis capability means clinicians are equipped to assess and treat psychiatric conditions that frequently accompany or drive addictive behavior — rather than deferring that work to a separate mental health provider after discharge.

The clinical team supporting this work includes licensed clinical social workers in the roles of Clinical Director (Outpatient), Senior Clinical Administrator, and Family Therapist. Family Therapy is a named therapeutic method at the facility, reflecting a treatment model that accounts for the relational dimensions of addiction and recovery rather than treating the patient in isolation.

Insurance Coverage and Admissions at Immersion Residential

Immersion Residential accepts insurance from a broad range of carriers, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CareFirst, Cofinity, First Health Network, Florida Blue, Highmark, Independence BCBS, and Molina. Self-pay is also available for those who prefer to pay directly or whose coverage does not apply. For families making a same-day or urgent admissions decision, confirming coverage directly with the facility by phone is the fastest route to understanding out-of-pocket costs.

The admissions line at Immersion Residential is (561) 529-9008. The facility is located at 900 N Congress Ave, Boynton Beach, FL 33426, in Palm Beach County, and operates 24 hours a day — meaning an intake conversation can happen at any hour, not only during standard business hours.
