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.

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:

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.

Therapies For Support

Our treatment model contains evidence-based therapies tailored to trauma, addiction, and mental health recovery, including:

Individual therapy and group sessions
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)^[7]
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)^[8]
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)^[9]
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)^[10]

Frequently Asked Questions

1What makes addiction treatment different for veterans?

Veterans often face unique challenges related to military service, including trauma exposure, chronic stress, and reintegration into civilian life. Effective addiction treatment for veterans addresses substance use alongside service-related experiences such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. An integrated, military-informed approach improves engagement and long-term recovery outcomes.^[13]

2Does Banyan treat PTSD and substance use disorders at the same time?

Yes. Banyan provides integrated dual-diagnosis treatment that addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety simultaneously. Treating both conditions together reduces relapse risk and supports more stable, sustained recovery.^[15]

3Can families be involved in the recovery process?

Yes. Family involvement is an important part of recovery for many veterans, and Banyan offers family therapy, education, and support services when appropriate. These services help improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen support systems during and after treatment.

4What happens after treatment begins?

Once treatment begins, veterans participate in structured therapy, skill-building, and relapse prevention planning tailored to their needs. As care progresses, aftercare planning helps prepare individuals for continued recovery through outpatient services, peer support, and community resources.

5Will insurance or VA benefits help cover treatment?

Many insurance plans and VA-related benefits may help cover addiction and mental health treatment services. Our admissions team works directly with veterans and families to verify coverage, explain options, and help navigate available benefits and resources.

6What are the benefits of inpatient or residential treatment for a veteran?

With round-the-clock medical and psychological care, veterans receive comprehensive support to manage mental health conditions and addiction. Our program includes a wide range of therapies and activities, from evidence-based treatments to holistic approaches, designed to promote healing and resilience throughout their time in treatment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience was really good felt comfortable there with most of the staff, besides the case manager Wes who threatened to kick me out several times for no reason at all. But focusing on the good Bri was the best tech I could have asked for she went up and beyond everyday and was always super kind and understanding. Kayla also went up and beyond on several occasions. groups were ran really smoothly felt like it truly helped me break through detox was smooth and they helped me get through rough times.

My therapist is hunter, and he does a fantastic job at making you feel comfortable and safe to open up. Make sure you get a chance to meet Mike, just make sure you don't have the same last night as someone from Seinfeld. I met some amazing people here, everyone was so kind and calm. It's just an amazing place to go. If you're dealing with any type of addiction, definitely check this place out. I'm excited to move onto PHP, IOP, then change my life for the better.
