Specialized Substance Use and Mental Health Treatment for Veterans

At Wellness and Recovery, we pay tribute to those who have served by providing compassionate and all-encompassing support.

Understanding the Unique Recovery Challenges Veterans Face

Transitioning from military service to civilian life can be one of the most challenging shifts a veteran will ever face. The structure, discipline, and camaraderie of military life often contrast sharply with the unpredictability of civilian routines. 

For many, this transition presents logistical and career challenges. It also presents emotional and psychological challenges, too.

Veterans are disproportionately affected by substance use disorders (SUD), often as a way to cope with PTSD, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and other service-related conditions. 

According to the NIDA, veterans are more likely than their civilian counterparts to struggle with substance use, particularly alcohol, opioids, and prescription medications.

If that sounds familiar to you, know that we’re here.

Personalized Treatment for Veterans

The transition from military to civilian life, exposure to trauma, chronic pain, and co-occurring disorders can make recovery complex—but you don’t have to face it alone.

Our veteran-focused treatment programs are designed to address both SUD and co-occurring mental health conditions. This provides a holistic, individualized approach to healing. 

By helping residents of Michigan, northeast Indiana, and northern Ohio, we demonstrate our commitment to those who have served our country.

Treatment for Veterans

Why Veterans Choose Wellness and Recovery

Veterans need specialized care that acknowledges both their military background and the personal battles. At Wellness and Recovery, that’s what you’ll find. We go beyond standard substance misuse treatment. 

We offer a comprehensive, veteran-centered approach that prioritizes mental health, physical wellness, and emotional healing. 

Here’s how we approach your recovery:

A Personalized, Evidence-Based Approach

No two veterans have the same story, and no two recovery paths should look alike. 

Our customized treatment plans take into account your unique experiences, medical history, and personal goals. 

By integrating medical, psychological, and holistic therapies, we craft an approach that meets you where you are. Whether you’re in crisis, seeking structured support, or looking for long-term healing, we can help.

At Wellness and Recovery, our on-site psychiatrist will work directly with every individual. We assess mental health, adjust medications if needed, and ensure everyone receives top-tier psychiatric and medical oversight.

Comprehensive Continuum of Care

Recovery is a process, not a single event. That’s why we provide a full continuum of care, including:

  • Medical detox for safe withdrawal
  • Residential treatment for intensive inpatient support
  • Partial hospitalization program (PHP) for structured daytime treatment
  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP) for transitional support
  • Outpatient services for continued long-term care

By offering multiple levels of care, we ensure that every veteran has the right level of support at every stage of their recovery journey.

Dual Diagnosis Expertise

For many veterans, substance misuse doesn’t exist in isolation – it’s often intertwined with mental health struggles like PTSD, chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. In fact, more than 2 out of 10 veterans with PTSD also have an SUD. 

Our integrated treatment model addresses both substance use disorders and mental health conditions simultaneously, giving veterans a greater chance at sustainable recovery.

Intimate, Supportive Environment

Large treatment facilities can feel impersonal. Our boutique-style approach ensures that every veteran receives individualized attention. With a low patient-to-staff ratio, we provide a safe, comfortable, and community-focused setting to promote deep healing and connection.

Holistic & Recreational Therapy

Recovery isn’t just about overcoming addiction – it’s about rebuilding a fulfilling, purpose-driven life. That’s why we offer a range of holistic therapies and recreational activities to help veterans reconnect with themselves, rediscover joy, and build healthy routines.

Some of our holistic approaches include: 

  • Equine therapy to promote emotional healing
  • Gym access for physical strength and stress relief
  • Outdoor activities like hiking, golfing, and bowling for social engagement
  • Creative therapies like glass staining, music therapy, and art therapy
  • Recreational options like video games, board games, and foosball for relaxation

No matter where you are in your recovery journey, Wellness and Recovery provides the resources, guidance, and support to help you thrive.

Specialized Treatment for Veterans

Veterans require a unique, tailored approach to healing. At Wellness and Recovery, we address the full spectrum of challenges veterans face. This ranges from trauma and chronic pain to relationship struggles and reintegration stress.

Some of our specialized treatments for veterans include:

Many veterans experience service-related trauma, leading to PTSD and other mental health conditions. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that therapy is safe and respectful of the veteran’s lived experiences. 

We use evidence-based modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help veterans process trauma in a way that inspires real, lasting healing.

Chronic pain is a significant issue for many veterans. This can lead some to rely on opioids or other substances for relief. 

Our non-opioid pain management solutions include physical therapy, holistic treatments, and medical interventions. These are designed to help veterans manage pain safely and effectively without the risk of substance misuse.

One of the most powerful aspects of military service is the camaraderie. At Wellness and Recovery, we recreate that sense of community by connecting veterans with peer support groups and group therapy sessions. 

Being surrounded by others who understand the unique challenges of military life can be incredibly validating and therapeutic. Research shows that peer-delivered recovery support services significantly enhance recovery outcomes. 

Substance misuse and mental health challenges don’t just affect the individual – they impact entire families. Our family therapy and relationship support services help veterans repair relationships. We assist in rebuilding trust and creating healthier family dynamics as veterans work toward recovery.

Medicated-assisted treatment is a safe, medically supervised way to manage severe withdrawals. It offers a way to overcome intense cravings and manage withdrawal for sustained, long-term recovery. We provide MAT programs that are tailored to the individual needs of each veteran we treat.

A Mission of Healing For Those Who Have Served

At Wellness and Recovery, we believe that every veteran deserves high-quality, compassionate care. We provide this in a setting that respects their service and supports their journey. 

Our structured yet flexible approach allows veterans to heal at their own pace. We provide the resources and community they need to thrive.
