At Banyan Treatment Centers, we support veterans, service members, and military families who are navigating addiction and mental health challenges.
Experiences such as deployment stress, transition to civilian life, trauma exposure, and chronic pain can all contribute to substance use disorders and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, and PTSD.[11]
Whether you’re looking for inpatient rehab or a more flexible outpatient option, our team can help you access a level of care that fits your needs and build a plan focused on stability, coping skills, and long-term success.
- Evidence-based addiction treatment with inpatient and outpatient options
- Support for co-occurring mental health concerns, including trauma and PTSD
- Individualized treatment planning and discharge planning for long-term recovery

The Challenges Many Veterans Face
Mental Health Battles
Many veterans experience mental health concerns related to combat exposure, prolonged stress, and life-threatening situations. Conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are common among military members and can significantly affect daily functioning.[1]
For some, these mental health conditions are compounded by chronic pain, physical disabilities, or injuries sustained during service. Others may struggle with military sexual trauma, grief, survivor’s guilt, or the loss of structure and identity after leaving the military.[12] Without proper support, these challenges can increase the risk of substance abuse, homelessness, and suicide.[2]
Conditions we treat include:
- Adjustment Disorder
- Anxiety Disorders (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder)
- Attachment Disorders
- Bipolar Disorder
- Grief and Loss
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Self-Injury or Self-Harming Behaviors
- Depression
- Thought Disorders
- Psychological Symptoms
Substance Use Disorders
Substance use among veterans is often a coping response rather than a personal failure.[3] Alcohol, prescription medications, and other substances may be used to manage pain, numb trauma, or improve sleep.[4] Over time, this can develop into substance use disorder, especially when mental health conditions remain untreated.
Many veterans are first introduced to addictive medications through legitimate medical care. Opioids, benzodiazepines, and other drugs prescribed for pain or anxiety can lead to dependence and addiction, particularly when combined with unresolved trauma or stress.[5]
Some of the addictions we help treat are:
- Alcohol Addiction
- Benzodiazepine Addiction
- Cocaine Addiction
- Heroin Addiction
- Methamphetamine Addiction
- Opioid Addiction
- Prescription Drug Addiction
Co-Occurring Disorders
Rehab is most successful when addiction treatment and mental health care are provided together. Treating substance use disorders without addressing PTSD, depression, or anxiety increases relapse risk and limits long-term outcomes.[3]
Common co-occurring disorders in veterans include:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Depression and mood disorders
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Sleep disorders and insomnia
- Chronic pain conditions
- Effects of military sexual trauma
Integrated, dual-diagnosis care allows patients to address the full scope of their health conditions and specific needs within a single, comprehensive treatment plan.[6]
Levels of Care for Veterans and Active Duty Personnel
Banyan Treatment Centers provides treatment options across a full continuum of care, allowing veterans to receive the right level of support at the right time.
Medical Detox
Medically monitored detox offers 24/7 medical supervision to safely manage withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. This level of care stabilizes patients physically and mentally before transitioning into ongoing treatment.
Residential Treatment
Residential rehabilitation provides immersive, structured care within a supportive facility. Veterans live on-site while participating in individual therapy, group sessions, medical care, and relapse prevention programming.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP delivers intensive treatment during the day while allowing patients to return home or to supportive housing at night. This level supports recovery while encouraging independence and reintegration.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP allows veterans and active duty service members to continue work or family responsibilities while receiving structured addiction treatment and behavioral health services several days per week.
Telehealth Services
Telehealth IOP options provide ongoing therapy, support, and relapse prevention for long-term recovery and lifestyle stability.
Program availability may vary by location.
