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.
