Veterans often face traumatic experiences throughout their time in service. Though every Vet’s story is a bit different, what they do, see, and think during their time serving the country changes them. It can also create a high risk of drug and alcohol addiction. According to the US Department of Veteran Affairs, 7 out of every 100 Vets suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction. At Victory Addiction Recovery Center, we offer Veterans specialized care through our Tactical Recovery program.
To help Veterans navigate addiction and trauma, a treatment center must understand the psychological, emotional, and physical changes a Vet undergoes during and after service. With our specialized program, you gain hands-on support from those who understand your needs and can offer solutions.

That may sound like a path to success, but does it work? Many people who are facing years of trauma, addiction, and pain often find themselves struggling to believe anything will work for them. Let’s look at why our Tactical Recovery Program works so well for Veterans.
We understand that Veterans have specific needs and feel safest when working with those who understand those needs, either because they are Veterans themselves or because they have worked closely with Veterans in the past. Our experienced team has designed a Veteran-centric program that will make you feel at home. The program includes the following.
The type of therapy we use within our Veterans treatment program is selected based on your needs. We offer a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including:
Each program we offer is tailored to fit your situation. Trauma, pain, ongoing anxiety, and depression are just some of the symptoms we can treat in Veterans.
Our program includes weekly Veteran group meetings. These are very important for your understanding of your addiction and dependence, as well as for emotional support. Veteran groups are made up of people who understand what you are facing and provide you with the hands-on support you need.
Family members of Veterans are often unable to support their loved ones through addiction recovery because they don’t understand the Veteran experience. To help heal and educate families, we provide family therapy. Our therapists teach families how to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and support each other.
Medical, psychiatric, holistic, and supportive care designed just for Veterans is always available here. What you will also find is that our staff respect you and what you have experienced. We do not downplay what you are dealing with or make you feel unappreciated. Here, you are family, and you will continue to be family for the rest of your life.
