Veteran’s Addiction Treatment

The Importance of Veteran’s Addiction Treatment

Veterans are disproportionately affected by addiction and substance abuse. This is due, in part, to the unique stresses and trauma associated with military service. Undiagnosed or untreated mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can also increase the risk of addiction.

For many veterans, it can be difficult to reach out for help. Stigma and fear of judgment can prevent former servicemembers from seeking the treatment they need. A specially designed addiction treatment program for veterans is a crucial step in providing the care necessary to overcome addiction.

Veteran’s addiction treatment recognizes these challenges and provides a safe and supportive environment for healing. At Serenity Grove, we use evidence-based approaches to address the underlying causes of addiction and provide comprehensive care for co-occurring mental health conditions. Our staff is trained in trauma-informed care, ensuring that each client feels seen and heard throughout the treatment process and that past trauma is addressed in a safe and therapeutic way.

What to Expect in Our Veteran’s Addiction Treatment Program in Athens, GA

Our veteran’s rehab program in Athens consists of three main phases: detoxification, rehabilitation, and aftercare. During detox, our medical team provides 24/7 monitoring and support to manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure safety. Once detox is completed, clients move on to residential treatment as well as outpatient programs. In these programs, clients benefit from therapies like:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
• Trauma therapy
• Person-centered therapy
• Anger management
• Holistic therapies

At Serenity Grove, we believe that family involvement is crucial to the success of treatment, so we also offer family therapy sessions to address any issues related to addiction and heal relationships. In these sessions, clients and their loved ones work on healthy communication skills, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust. Additionally, our aftercare program provides continued support to clients after they complete treatment, including regular check-ins and access to alumni events.

Using TRICARE to Pay for Treatment

We understand that paying for addiction treatment can be a barrier to getting the help you need. As a TRICARE-certified facility, we accept TRICARE insurance as payment. If you don’t have TRICARE insurance, we accept other forms of insurance as well as private pay. Our admissions team is available to help you navigate the insurance and payment process.
