Veterans Residential Care for Addiction 

While some people may receive adequate treatment in outpatient rehab programs, people with severe or long-term substance use disorders might need residential inpatient treatment. An essential element of addiction treatment is treatment length.  

Treatment is often effective when done in a continuum. Our residential rehab for veterans provides 24-hour care to help clients achieve and maintain sobriety long-term. 

Our residential recovery programs can offer a breadth of services that are more likely to help clients develop the abilities and tools to remain in recovery long after they’ve completed their programs.   

Usual services offered in residential treatment programs include:  

• Medically supervised detox (if needed) 
• Medically supported maintenance care (if needed) 
• Individual therapy programs, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) 

• Family or couples counseling  
• Building relapse prevention skills and tools 
• Aftercare services once the program ends 

Benefits of Residential Substance Abuse Treatment 

Our residential rehab for veterans offers certain benefits that other forms of treatment don’t always offer. Benefits include:  

• Withdrawal support through medical detox 
• Safety, security, and comfort through withdrawal treatment 
• Judgment-free environment  
• 24-hour support  
• A tight-knit community made up of others who are also in recovery  

Despite the variety of benefits offered in our veterans’ substance abuse residential rehabilitation treatment program, all forms of addiction care prove beneficial for those wishing to recover from addiction. The level of care that’s best suited for clients is always decided after a clinical assessment is completed.  

During this assessment, patients may answer questions about their past drug use, family history of drug use, mental illness, and more. This is an essential step our team takes to ensure that clients are always placed in programs that will suit their needs and help them see the best results in recovery.  

What Our Veterans Residential Services Include 

Inpatient residential treatment at our Milford rehab incorporates medically supervised detox, individual and group therapy, and aftercare services to ensure that clients have all of the support they need to get and stay sober. Starting with medical detox, we help clients safely and effectively get through the withdrawal phase of recovery, which can be difficult without medical support.  

Medical care is crucial for addressing what happens to the body during withdrawal, keeping clients safe as they go through symptoms like hallucinations, fevers, headaches, tremors, seizures, and others. In addition to safety, detox is also administered in a supportive and distraction-free environment, reducing the risk of relapsing because of drug cravings.  

Once detox is complete, clients can move on to individual and group therapy sessions, during which they’ll explore the roots of their substance use disorders and come up with healthy ways to manage their sobriety after treatment. Programs like CBT, DBT, and biofeedback support a calm, steady, and motivated recovery.  

Our Delaware rehab center also offers aftercare services to help clients stay on track after rehab. It can be easy to fall into old habits or hang out with your “usual” crew, so it’s important that our clients have a direct line of communication with our recovery sponsors to ensure they’re never alone in their struggles as they adjust to a sober lifestyle.
