The Recovery Village is honored to serve veterans needing high-quality, specialized addiction and mental health support designed around their needs.
With over 10% of military personnel grappling with substance use disorders, it’s crucial to address and counteract the stigma surrounding substance use and mental health treatment.
Understanding what makes an inpatient rehab good for veterans is the first step in providing adequate care for this population.
Since recovery is a personal journey, success will be as well. What success looks like for one veteran may not look the same for another.
Due to the life-threatening danger of opioids, especially synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, it’s crucial that veterans struggling with opioid addiction seek professional treatment.
Veterans are more likely to self-medicate, or use substances to temporarily relieve the memories or feelings associated with traumatic events.
While a lack of confidentiality may seem invasive and a deterrent for servicemembers to seek treatment, a commander’s involvement in treatment can promote positive outcomes.
Active military members aren’t immune to issues related to substance use. However, the factors contributing to substance use among service members are unique.
Join a specialized program tailored for veterans and first responders to overcome addiction, co-occurring trauma, and mental health challenges. Through this track, you can rebuild your strength and readiness for civilian life.
