James CrossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After 35 years of drinking I HAD to put myself through treatment. I tried to quit on my own but only got sick. Never been through a program before but glad it was here. Staff and counselors were very good and easy to talk to. Meals were good n plenty and then some. Thank you for helping me get my life back on track. Munoz PerformanceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a great program. I love the staff here especially shep. He was a cornerstone to my recovery here. All the staff was great. But shep was definitely my rock here Cheryl DeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It feels impossible for me to adequately put into words what Phoenix Rising and their staff means to me. It’s been 9 months since I arrived there, totally broken, hopeless, scared, sick, sad, and ashamed. I was on the verge of death, either by suicide or my failing health due to my addiction and total breakdown. And now, I have hope, I have sobriety, and my life back. Their program is so special and so well rounded. They think outside of the box with their treatment and make mindful accommodations when necessary. Aside from the usual offerings of therapy, trauma work, 12 step meetings and sober fun days outside of the facility, there is meditation and sound baths, misc outings (hello mani pedi day and softball) and hiking, beautiful pools to swim in, art therapy, writing therapy, and so much more. You learn the science and psychology of addiction, trauma and recovery. You are fed delicious food. Most importantly, you are surrounded by a staff who cares so much. Whomever is responsible for their hiring has a true gift for choosing the right people. If you’re reading this and wondering, please go. Go to this safe, healing place. Go with an open heart, open mind, and willingness. Save yourself. Save your life. Heal. Learn. Grow. Thank you Genevieve, for being the incredible backbone of the facility. Thank you Candice, for being my mama goose- for your warm hug and telling me “you’re home now. You’re safe” as I exited the car crying and defeated on my arrival. Thank you Brie, Chelsi, Jordan, Meditation Mark, and Michelle. I remember and cherish you all. I’m so thankful for you. I’m doing well guys!!! I’m hiking and dreaming and working and cherishing all the things I love!!! I am alive. Lisa DockeryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place was amazing!

It’s no secret that veterans are at a higher risk of developing substance abuse issues than the general population. The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 20% of veterans who served in Afghanistan and Iraq have substance abuse challenges. A study conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) found that veterans were more likely than non-veterans to use multiple substances, including tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. Furthermore, veterans who experience combat-related trauma are at a higher risk for developing substance abuse problems.
It’s important to note that these statistics are just general trends, and every individual’s experience is unique. However, suppose you are a veteran struggling with substance abuse. In that case, knowing you are not alone is important. There are specialized rehabilitation centers like Phoenix Rising Recovery that can help you overcome addiction and provide you with the support you need to build a better future.
Drug and alcohol rehab for veterans is a specialized form of treatment that considers the unique experiences and challenges that veterans face. At Phoenix Rising Recovery, our rehabilitation program for veterans includes a combination of therapy, counseling, and support groups. We also provide holistic treatments such as yoga and meditation to help veterans find balance and peace. Additionally, we have a staff of therapists with experience working with veterans and a strong connection with local veterans organizations.
Rehabilitation, specifically tailored to the needs of veterans, offers several benefits for those struggling with addiction. Some of the most significant benefits include the following:
Rehabilitation centers like Phoenix Rising Recovery can provide veterans with the support, resources, and evidence-based treatment they need to overcome addiction and build a better future.
For many veterans, inpatient rehab is the first critical step in recovery. This level of care is ideal for individuals who need 24/7 support and a structured environment to stabilize and begin their journey toward sobriety.
Our inpatient program allows veterans to step away from everyday stressors and triggers, giving them the space and time to focus entirely on their recovery. At our Palm Springs facility, you’ll benefit from:
Inpatient treatment is often the foundation for lasting change, equipping veterans with the tools and coping skills they need to transition to outpatient care or return to their lives with confidence.
Our outpatient programs provide flexible treatment options for veterans ready to balance recovery with daily responsibilities. These programs offer a continuation of care after inpatient treatment or as a starting point for those with less severe addiction symptoms.
Outpatient care combines clinical support with the independence veterans need to apply their recovery skills in real-world settings.
Addiction is complex, and recovery requires addressing the underlying factors that contribute to it. Phoenix Rising Recovery integrates evidence-based and holistic therapies to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Therapies may include:
These therapies are incorporated into personalized treatment plans, ensuring every veteran receives care tailored to their unique experiences and needs.
Veterans trust Phoenix Rising Recovery because we offer more than treatment—we offer hope and a path to lasting change. Here’s what sets us apart:

TriWest Healthcare Alliance is a provider of healthcare services for veterans, and they offer several options for veterans seeking to pay for rehab. At Phoenix Rising Recovery, we are proud to accept TriWest insurance as a form of payment for our rehabilitation services. Suppose you are a veteran covered by TriWest and are looking for help with substance abuse or addiction. In that case, our center can provide you with the support and resources you need to overcome your addiction and build a better future.
