Tactical Recovery: A Military Addiction Assistance Program in VA

We’ve created a specialized Military Addiction Program at The Farley Center in Virginia, and we named it Tactical Recovery. It is uniquely tailored to honor the service and address the challenges faced by Service Members, Veterans and their Families.

All direct care providers in the Tactical Recovery Program receive certifications in military cultural competency and are equipped with expert knowledge and practical skills to effectively support and engage with Service Members, Veterans, and their Families (SMVF) through PsychArmor. Veteran and Military-connected staff offer specialized programming that honors courage and integrity. Our approach acknowledges specific traumas and experiences that contribute to substance use disorders, offering a path towards healing that is both comprehensive and compassionate. With a focus on community, cultural competency, and respect, we provide the unwavering support our SMVF need to reclaim their lives from addiction. Contact us at (888) 707-3220 to learn more about our Tactical Recovery Program.

Why Service Members and Veterans Deserve Specialized Addiction Treatment

Serving others often results in remarkable challenges and experiences that require a specialized approach to addiction treatment. The unique experiences of deployments, combat stress, PTSD and difficulties integrating back into civilian life, can significantly impact coping styles, mental health and contribute to substance use disorders. Tactical Recovery staff at The Farley Center recognize the importance of offering a whole person approach including individualized treatment plans with targeted programming, peer support, and psychoeducation that honors and values the Military experience.

The Importance of Peer Support in Military and Veteran Recovery

One of the cornerstones of the Tactical Recovery Program at The Farley Center is the emphasis on peer support. Veterans and members of the Military benefit greatly from connecting with others who have shared similar experiences and challenges. This sense of camaraderie and understanding is vital in creating a supportive environment where veterans can openly discuss their struggles and victories on the path to recovery.

Tailoring Treatment to Address Combat-Related Trauma

Tactical Recovery is designed to specifically address combat-related trauma and its role in substance use disorders. Utilizing evidence-based practices such as trauma-informed care and cognitive-behavioral therapy, The Farley Center helps veterans and military members navigate the complexities of PTSD, anxiety, and depression that often accompany their service. This focused approach ensures that treatment is both effective and empathetic.

Creating a Pathway to Healing and Resilience

The Tactical Recovery Program at The Farley Center is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s about building a pathway to healing and resilience. Through our experiential therapies and comprehensive treatment plans, individuals will receive individual and group programming focused on mental health support, emotional regulation, relapse prevention and wellness activities. With this multifaced approach to treatment, Service Members, Veterans and Adult Dependents will be equipped with the tools they need to build a fulfilling and substance-free life. Our dedicated team is committed to supporting your journey towards recovery and well-being. 

Honoring Service, Supporting Recovery

At The Farley Center, we believe in honoring the service of our military and veterans by providing the highest quality care and support during their recovery from addiction. Our program is a testament to our gratitude and commitment to those who have served, offering a space where veterans are treated with the dignity, respect, and understanding they deserve. We’re dedicated to helping our veterans heal from the wounds of service and addiction, supporting them every step of the way.
