Through trauma-informed therapy modalities, our team of experienced therapists and medical professionals provides personalized care that acknowledges and respects the impact of military service on mental health.

Our Program

Veterans entering our facility benefit from a structured treatment regimen, starting with a 10-day detox program followed by a 30-day inpatient residential program. During detox, clients receive medical supervision and support to safely navigate withdrawal symptoms. Once transitioned to residential care, veterans engage in intensive therapy sessions, comprising of one-on-one counseling and group therapy opportunities each week.

Our Trauma-Informed Care

Understanding the prevalence of PTSD and other mental health challenges among veterans, our therapists integrate evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness practices into treatment plans. These approaches are tailored to help veterans process traumatic experiences and develop healthy coping strategies.

Challenges Facing Veterans in Addiction Treatment

The challenges faced by veterans, particularly those who have served in conflicts like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam, are multifaceted and deeply impactful. These men and women, having dedicated themselves to defending their country, often return home to confront a range of difficulties that can profoundly affect their well-being and livelihood. It's important to take these different elements into account in a veterans addiction treatment program.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Depression

A staggering 20% of veterans are estimated to suffer from PTSD or depression. This figure, likely underreported according to mental health experts, translates into a significant number of individuals grappling with intrusive memories, anxiety, mood swings, and emotional numbness. Specifically, over 540,000 veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are believed to be affected, highlighting the enduring psychological toll of modern combat experiences.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Approximately 260,000 veterans have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries, a consequence of the blasts and impacts common in wartime scenarios. TBIs can lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, and neurological complications, presenting additional challenges in daily life and social interactions.

Suicide Epidemic

The alarming statistic that, on average, 22 veterans succumb to suicide each day is a stark reminder of the mental health crisis within the veteran community. Factors such as untreated PTSD, depression, substance abuse, and challenges reintegrating into civilian life contribute to this tragic loss of life, demanding urgent attention and intervention.

High Divorce Rates

Veterans with PTSD face double the divorce rates compared to those without. The strain of PTSD on relationships, characterized by communication breakdowns, emotional withdrawal, and hypervigilance, often leads to marital discord and dissolution. This not only affects the veteran but also impacts their families, potentially exacerbating social isolation and emotional distress.

We Support Veterans in Their Addiction Recovery Journeys

The battle for many American heroes continues for years after coming home. We have a great appreciation for the service and sacrifices that veterans and their families have endured to fight terrorism, preserve freedom, and protect democracy.

We will work with you to help you overcome the underlying cause, the reasons behind why you are abusing drugs, or alcohol, and help you to overcome this. We will fight for you to help you achieve your personal freedom from substance abuse and addiction, the same way that you fought to help us all have our freedom in life.
