Veterans
Veterans struggling with addiction face a profound and often heartbreaking challenge that intertwines with their experiences of trauma and service. The transition from military to civilian life can be fraught with difficulties, including the lingering effects of combat stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the isolation that sometimes accompanies reintegration into society. These factors can exacerbate the risk of substance abuse as individuals seek to self-medicate or cope with their emotional pain. The struggle is compounded by the stigma associated with addiction and mental health issues, which can deter veterans from seeking the help they need. Support systems, including specialized treatment programs and peer support networks, play a crucial role in addressing both the addiction and the underlying trauma, offering a path towards recovery and a more hopeful future.

What We Offer
Why Seek Treatment
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy helps by processing and integrating distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge, and enabling healthier responses to trauma-related triggers. Through structured bilateral stimulation, EMDR facilitates the reprocessing of traumatic memories, which can lead to a decrease in symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. This therapeutic approach not only helps veterans achieve emotional healing but also supports their recovery from addiction by addressing the underlying trauma that often drives substance abuse. As veterans work through their traumatic experiences, they can develop more effective coping strategies and build a stronger foundation for long-term sobriety and overall well-being.
Medical Treatment
Medications are accessible to alleviate the discomfort of detox and deter alcohol cravings, available in oral or injectable forms. Medical interventions are also accessible to address additional health issues linked to addiction.
Throughout Treatment
Healthcare providers vigilantly oversee the administration of medications during addiction treatment. Vivitrol, an injectable medication, helps prevent relapse by inhibiting the release of dopamine thereby reducing cravings and the urge to use. It is commonly used post-detox during the stabilization phase.
Residential Treatment
Following the initial detoxification phase, numerous patients attain stability. Subsequently, they may transition into residential treatment, particularly beneficial for individuals at high risk of relapse.
Residential treatment programs can span from several weeks to several months, tailored to the specific needs of each patient. During inpatient treatment, patients reside in a rehabilitation facility where they receive continuous support and comprehensive therapy. This environment ensures safety, shielding patients from negative influences or triggers that could provoke a return to active addiction.
Outpatient Treatment
Some patients opt to continue outpatient treatment following an inpatient stay, while others may begin their recovery journey directly through outpatient rehab. Engaging in outpatient treatment programs allows individuals to remain at home while receiving therapy for their addiction.
This approach ensures that individuals receive comprehensive support while maintaining their daily routines and responsibilities.
Addiction treatment plans are customized to help patients based on their individual needs. The program may include several sessions a week.
