Why choose a specialized military program?

Veterans are a special breed. We’re driven to do extraordinary things in incredibly stressful situations because we’re passionate about doing what most aren’t willing to do: protect and serve at all costs.

We're exposed to trauma others can't fathom.

We push ourselves beyond traditional limits and put our minds at risk. The physical and emotional demands of combat change us forever. At a very core level, we are different. We respond by selflessly grinding to the next deployment with little regard for how our experiences are affecting us.

Inaction is not an option.

Many times, we don’t feel the effects of a career full of trauma until it’s over. Suicide and addiction occur at staggering rates. On average, 20 veterans die by suicide every day. The cause is two-fold – a stigma that keeps many from seeking help, coupled with the inability to appropriately treat post-traumatic stress disorder.

Traditional programs don't understand.

Most clinicians don’t understand the culture of those who have lived for months and years out on the battlefield. The directors of our military program entered this field with a passion to close the gap between traditional treatment and the veteran story in a way that they never experienced in their own PTSD treatment.

The Process

It's not like other veteran rehabs.

Medical Detox & Medications

The first step is getting drugs and alcohol out of your body to stop the physical dependence. Don’t worry, it’s not like doing it on your own.
Then, medications can help rebalance your brain at the chemical level – whether it’s an anti-cravings like Vivitrol for addiction or treating an underlying issue like an antidepressant.

Trauma Therapy

PTSD is treated with exposure therapy. You reprocess traumatic memories in a controlled environment to change the feelings attached to these memories and reduce their power.
We’re the only rehab in the country testing virtual reality exposure therapy. VR technology vividly re-creates the traumatic experiences so you can reposition those memories.

Group Therapy

An important benefit of a military program is being surrounded by people that understand your experiences. It allows you to open up, feel understood and take the advice seriously.
You need to feel understood, to remember you’re not alone. All of us come back with issues. And, it might not be related to the killing part. For me, it wasn’t. That was my job. It was all the other stuff I saw.

Whatever Else Is Needed

Even though we’re all veterans, we have different underlying triggers and issues.
Some need couples counseling, others need career counseling to reintegrate back into civilian life.
We do what it takes to get you well.

Rehab for Veterans FAQ

Why can’t I just deal with this on my own?

If you could stop on your own, you wouldn’t be reading this website right now. You’re here because you’ve said “this is the last time” more times than you can remember.

It’s not you’re fault that you can’t do it on your own. It’s not a matter of strength. You have a disease. Just like any other disease, it needs treatment (or it will get worse). The question you should be asking yourself is “why can’t I just ask for help?”

How do I talk to my spouse/family about going to rehab?

We like to think no one notices, but the people we love are worried about our addiction long before we want to admit it. Being honest is your best play.

You’re on this website, so you’ve already taken steps to research treatment options. That’s great! Families may not know what to do when you tell them. Having the solution lined up will make the conversation even smoother. All they want is to see you get well.

You’re very unlikely to be met with the judgment or negativity that you’re worried about. In fact, relationships thrive with open communication. Stop worrying about what it might be like and start talking. You’ll feel relieved and more likely to commit to getting the help you need.

Won't people judge me?

Honestly, people are judging you now – when you’re high thinking you’re acting normal or too hungover to show up. Just because you’re not facing the problem doesn’t stop others from feeling suspicion and worry.

The good news is that addiction doesn’t have to define you. In fact, recovery redefines who you are and helps you get to where you want to be. There are so many successful and amazing people living in recovery. You just don’t know it because it’s their personality or career that you know of, not their addiction.

What if I’m on active duty?

You absolutely should self-report before it ends up on the Commander’s Blotter Report. Addiction never stays secret forever. The people you work with every day will notice if they haven’t already.

Many active-duty members fear that if they self-report they may be discharged from the military. This is completely inaccurate. In fact, JourneyPure has a contract with many military bases, which aid in rehabilitating active duty members and discharging them back to active duty.

The Process is Simple

1. Make The Call

Because this location sometimes operates on a wait-list, it's best to call in as early as possible. You don't have to commit to coming here and you'll feel better after you talk to someone who actually understands.

(844) 505-4799

2. Discuss Any Costs

Insurance covers the majority of your cost here! How much you owe depends on your insurance policy's deductible and co-insurance rates. Don't worry, we'll confidentially look at your policy and explain everything. You can submit insurance information online.

(If you don't have insurance, you still have options. We can talk about that).

3. Start Treatment

Our locations often operate on waiting lists, but we're as accommodating as possible with the schedule. It helps to call early in your decision process and come in while you're still motivated.

The first thing you notice when you walk in is an overwhelming sense of hope and compassion. You're surrounded by people that actually understand you.

4. The Treatment Process

Intensive cognitive-behavioral therapies aren't as boring as they sound. You tackle issues hiding behind drugs and alcohol like trauma, depression or anxiety. And, you graduate feeling better than ever with a plan and a coach to help you stay on track long after treatment ends.
