Our Mission

Our Mission

According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control, an estimated 17 Veterans die by suicide every single day. Our specialized drug and alcohol rehab program aims to reduce this tragic number by offering the lifesaving treatment that Veterans and first responders need.

We also know that short-term addiction treatment is only the first step in changing your life, so we work with our Veterans and first responders to ensure they are set up with the resources they need—including housing, transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, mental health resources, and local meetings—to live in recovery once they complete our program.

What We Offer

Our addiction treatment team utilizes proven treatment methods to promote positive decision-making and long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes.
