Veterans Treatment Program

Recovering from addiction and managing your mental health is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone. Discover Recovery provides veterans with specialized care in a supportive and understanding environment. We’re proud to be a VA Community Care Provider, helping connect veterans with care with coordination from VA care teams. For more about our veterans treatment program or any of our addiction treatment programs, call us today at 866.719.2173.

A Program Tailored for Veterans

Effective addiction treatment goes beyond addressing symptoms—it requires acknowledging and managing any co-occurring mental health conditions, including underlying trauma. That’s why our veterans program is built on trauma-informed care, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for our clients. Each veteran is paired with both a master’s-level therapist and a substance use disorder professional to provide comprehensive support.

Key features of our veterans program include the following:

  • Trauma-informed care – All therapists and providers are trained to recognize and treat PTSD and co-occurring disorders effectively.
  • Experienced medical supervision – 24/7 oversight by skilled nursing staff ensures safety and comfort throughout detox and residential treatment.
  • Personalized recovery planning – Individualized care plans are tailored to reflect each veteran’s unique experiences and goals.
  • Comfortable accommodations – Private/semi-private rooms with plush, full-sized beds create a soothing space for healing.
  • Coordination with VA providers – We create treatment and aftercare plans in coordination with VA care teams to deliver the right individualized care.

Plus, our veterans programming is meaningful to former and current servicemembers. You or a loved one will be able to connect with others who also served and are experiencing many of the same challenges.
