VETERANS REHAB IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

Comprehensive Drug and Alcohol Detox for Military and Those Who Served

Reason Behind the Need for Veterans Rehab

Veterans face unique challenges when transitioning from military to civilian life, often struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, substance use disorders (SUD), and co-occurring mental health conditions. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) estimates that over 1 in 10 veterans struggle with substance use, with alcohol and prescription drugs being the most common dependencies (VA, 2023). Additionally, studies indicate that veterans in Northern California experience a higher-than-average rate of mental health disorders, making accessible, specialized treatment essential (SAMHSA, 2023).

The Link Between PTSD and Substance Abuse

Many veterans experience combat-related trauma, which can lead to self-medication through alcohol or drugs. According to the National Center for PTSD, veterans with PTSD are twice as likely to develop substance use disorders compared to those without PTSD (NCPTSD, 2022). Without proper treatment, these conditions can lead to chronic health issues, legal problems, and homelessness.

Why Choose a Veteran-Specific Rehab Program?

Traditional rehab programs may not always address the unique experiences, trauma, and needs of veterans. A veteran-specific rehab provides:

Trauma-Informed Care: Specialized therapies for PTSD and combat-related trauma.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Integrated care for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

Peer Support & Community: Veterans recovering alongside others who understand their struggles.

Holistic and Evidence-Based Therapies: EMDR therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based interventions.

Access to VA and Community Resources: Assistance with benefits, job placement, and housing.

Veteran Substance Abuse Statistics in Northern California

Veterans with PTSD are two to four times more likely to develop substance use disorders (NCPTSD, 2022).

In California, 16% of veterans report heavy alcohol use, compared to 14% nationally (SAMHSA, 2023).

Over 40% of veterans seeking treatment for SUD also have a co-occurring mental health disorder (VA Mental Health Services, 2023).

Suicide rates among veterans are 1.5 times higher than non-veterans, often linked to untreated mental health and addiction issues (National Veteran Suicide Prevention Report, 2023).

Veterans make up 11% of the homeless population in the U.S., with many struggling with untreated SUD (HUD, 2023).

Our Veteran-Focused Treatment Approach

PTSD and Trauma Therapy

Veterans struggling with PTSD and trauma-related disorders receive specialized treatment using evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. These therapies help veterans process traumatic memories, reduce distress, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Medically Supervised Detox

For veterans dealing with opioid or alcohol addiction, medical detox and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) options, including Suboxone, Vivitrol, and Methadone, provide a safe and effective path to recovery. These treatments help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and prevent relapse.

Intensive Outpatient and Residential Treatment

CRC offers both residential and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) to accommodate different levels of care. Residential treatment provides a structured, 24/7 supportive environment for those requiring immersive care, while IOP allows veterans to balance daily responsibilities with recovery, offering flexibility while maintaining access to therapy and support groups.

Insurance & Financial Assistance for Veterans

CRC works with various insurance providers to ensure veterans have access to quality treatment without financial strain. Many veterans qualify for coverage through VA benefits, TRICARE, and private insurance plans that offer mental health and substance use disorder coverage.
