Salute to Recovery

At River Oaks Treatment Center, recognized as a VA Center of Excellence, we offer comprehensive and high-quality treatment programs specifically tailored for veterans struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Our dedicated team of professionals understands the unique challenges faced by veterans and is committed to providing personalized care that addresses their individual needs. We create a supportive environment where Vets can engage in evidence-based therapies, holistic healing practices, and peer support designed to foster recovery and restore well-being. Each program is crafted to ensure that our heroes receive the compassionate and specialized care they deserve on their journey to recovery.

Customized Treatment for Veterans

Military service often exacts a profound physical and emotional toll on those who dedicate their lives to protecting our freedoms. For many Veterans, this strain can unfortunately lead to challenges with substance misuse as they struggle to cope with the lingering effects of trauma. At our specialized rehabilitation facility in Riverview, Florida, we proudly offer the Salute to Recovery program. This comprehensive initiative is designed to empower Veterans to navigate their healing journeys by providing tailored support aimed at addressing their unique experiences.

Our program facilitates a safe and nurturing environment where Veterans can begin to confront and process their trauma. Through a combination of evidence-based therapies, peer support groups, and holistic practices, participants are encouraged to rebuild their lives from the ground up. We focus on not just recovery from addiction, but also on fostering reconnections with family and friends that may have been strained or severed due to their struggles.

In this transformative process, Veterans are guided to rediscover their strengths and resilience, working to repair aspects of their identity that may feel fractured. The Salute to Recovery program is more than just a pathway to sobriety; it is a holistic approach to reclaiming a sense of purpose and belonging in the aftermath of service. Here, we believe that while the scars of the past may be deep, with the right support, healing and renewal are entirely possible.
