How Veterans Get Help for Drug Addiction

Veterans Drug Addiction Support, How Veterans Get Help for Drug Addiction

As a Veteran of the US Armed Forces, you know the value of life and freedom, and you may have directly experienced the pain and suffering that are often the cost. Even now that you are no longer actively involved in military life, the residue of what you have endured can put you at risk for mental health disorders related to trauma, chronic pain, or a feeling of disconnection from those around you. You may be turning to substances as a way to find relief.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs notes 2 in 10 Veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have a substance use disorder (SUD). About 1 in every 3 Veterans seeking help for SUD also have PTSD.

You may know you need help, but where can you place your trust? The VA can help, but the waiting list is sometimes long. You do not have to wait. The Ranch at Dove Tree can help you as soon as today when you reach out to us.

If you are struggling with problems with alcohol, street drugs, prescription medications, or tobacco, contact us for immediate help and guidance.

How We Offer Veterans Drug Addiction Support

At The Ranch at Dove Tree, we offer a special program for Veterans: Tactical Recovery. This program addresses the unique needs and complications that Veterans face in their daily lives, which may be different or more complex than what a non-veteran faces. Tactical Recovery provides trauma-informed care in a positive and supportive environment. It uses a variety of treatment options to support your recovery, all of which are evidence-based practices proven to support recovery and improved quality of life for Veterans.

The program incorporates EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, a technique that targets trauma and how to lessen its impact. Our program also includes:

  • Equine therapy
  • Trauma-informed yoga
  • Recreational therapy
  • Process groups

You will spend time within our program surrounded by other Veterans in treatment and by a professional team with experience in treating Veterans. We provide a positive environment with no stigma and incredible support. 

Our support does not end after you return home. With our alumni program, you continue to obtain and provide encouragement and wisdom to others. This is an incredible group, and we save lives by working together.

Will the VA Health Benefits Pay for Drug Treatment?

For specific insurance coverage questions, we strongly recommend reaching out to our admissions counselors. We can verify the type and amount of coverage you have.

The Ranch at Dove Tree is approved to accept VA Health benefits. This is done through the Community Care Network (CCN). This network enables you to choose the provider you want to help you with your addiction treatment and recovery from a group of partners. As a part of the VA CCN, you will be able to use your VA benefits to cover the cost of care with us up to the level of coverage you have.
