Drug & Alcohol Rehab for Veterans

Comprehensive Rehab for Veterans

At Phoenix Rising Recovery, we specialize in helping veterans overcome addiction and build fulfilling, substance-free lives. We understand the unique struggles that veterans face, including trauma and other mental health challenges that often accompany addiction and carry into life, and carry with you after you transition from active duty entering civilian life. Our programs are tailored to provide the care and support you need, whether you’re seeking help for alcohol dependency, drug addiction, or co-occurring mental health conditions.

Addiction is not a battle you have to face alone. Phoenix Rising Recovery offers evidence-based treatment in a compassionate and structured environment to help you regain control.

Veterans and Substance Abuse

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.

What is Drug & Alcohol Rehab for Veterans Like?

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.

Benefits of Rehab for Veterans

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:

• A Safe and Supportive Environment: Rehab centers provide a safe and secure environment where veterans can focus on their recovery without the distractions and triggers of their daily lives. This can be important for veterans who have experienced trauma and need a place where they can feel safe and supported.
• Evidence-Based Treatment: Rehab centers offer evidence-based treatment programs that have been proven effective in helping individuals overcome addiction. These programs may include individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and holistic therapies like yoga and meditation.
• Peer Support: Rehab centers provide veterans with the opportunity to connect with other veterans who are also in recovery. This can be incredibly powerful, as veterans often find that they can relate to and support each other in ways that others cannot.
• Aftercare Support: Rehab centers also offer aftercare support to help veterans maintain their recovery after they leave the center. This can include ongoing therapy, support groups, and other resources to help veterans stay on track.
• Addressing Co-Occurring Conditions: Rehab centers also address co-occurring conditions such as PTSD and other mental health issues that veterans may have.
• Addressing specific challenges: Rehab centers that specialize in helping veterans understand and address the unique challenges that veterans may face in their recovery, such as re-adjustment to civilian life, dealing with combat-related trauma, and accessing veterans’ benefits.

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.

Inpatient Addiction Treatment for Veterans

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:

• A personalized treatment plan developed to address your unique needs.
• A tranquil, healing environment surrounded by nature.
• A range of therapies to uncover and treat the root causes of addiction.

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.

Outpatient Addiction Programs for Veterans

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.

• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): A highly structured program with up to eight hours of treatment daily, five days a week. PHP allows veterans to maintain a high level of clinical support while living at home or in a sober living facility.
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): A flexible option with three-hour treatment sessions up to five days a week. IOP is ideal for veterans transitioning out of more intensive care or seeking support while maintaining work, school, or family commitments.

Outpatient care combines clinical support with the independence veterans need to apply their recovery skills in real-world settings.

Therapies for Veteran’s Addiction Recovery

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:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A proven approach for identifying and changing thought patterns that lead to substance use.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Helps veterans regulate emotions and manage stress without relying on substances.
• Trauma-Informed Care: Addresses the impact of trauma, a common underlying factor in addiction among veterans.
• Individual and Group Therapy: Provides a space for reflection, skill-building, and connection with others in recovery.
• Holistic Treatments: Includes mindfulness practices, yoga, and equine therapy to promote overall well-being.

These therapies are incorporated into personalized treatment plans, ensuring every veteran receives care tailored to their unique experiences and needs.
