Are you a former serviceman struggling with substance abuse or addiction? At 12 South Recovery, we recognize the unique hurdles veterans face when transitioning to civilian life. Our rehab program is designed to provide tailored support to ex-military personnel, addressing their specific challenges. From grappling with combat-related trauma to adjusting to a civilian lifestyle, we offer comprehensive assistance to help veterans find their path to recovery and rediscover their purpose.
Understanding the Unique Needs of Ex-Servicemen
Transitioning from military service to civilian life can be incredibly challenging, and for many veterans, this transition is complicated by the presence of substance abuse or addiction issues. Ex-servicemen may face a myriad of challenges, including:
- Trauma from Combat Experiences: Many veterans carry the scars of combat, both physical and psychological, which can contribute to the development of substance abuse issues as a means of coping.
- Adjustment to Civilian Life: The structured environment of military life can be vastly different from the freedom and uncertainty of civilian life, leading to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression.
- Lack of Support Networks: Returning veterans may find it difficult to re-establish connections with family and friends or to find a sense of belonging in their civilian communities.
- Stigma Surrounding Mental Health and Addiction: Despite progress in recent years, there remains a stigma surrounding mental health issues and addiction, which can prevent veterans from seeking the help they need.
At 12 South Recovery, we recognize and empathize with the challenges faced by ex-servicemen, and our rehab program is specifically designed to address these issues with compassion and understanding.

What Rehab Looks Like for Veterans
At 12 South Recovery, we recognize that every veteran’s journey to recovery is unique, and our rehab program is designed to provide the personalized care and support you need to heal and thrive. Here’s what you can expect from our rehab program for ex-servicemen:
- Detoxification: For many veterans struggling with addiction, the first step on the road to recovery is detoxification, where the body is rid of harmful substances under medical supervision. Our experienced medical team is trained to manage the symptoms of withdrawal safely and comfortably, ensuring a smooth transition into the next phase of treatment.
- Therapeutic Interventions: Once detox is complete, you will participate in a variety of therapeutic interventions designed to address the underlying issues driving your addiction and equip you with the skills and strategies you need to maintain sobriety in the long term. These may include individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and more.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Many ex-servicemen struggle with the lingering effects of combat-related trauma and PTSD, which can contribute to the development of substance abuse issues. Our rehab program incorporates trauma-informed care techniques to address these underlying issues and help veterans heal from the emotional scars of war.
- Life Skills Training: In addition to addiction treatment, we offer a range of life skills training programs designed to help veterans successfully reintegrate into civilian life. These may include job readiness training, financial management skills, communication skills, anger management techniques, and more, empowering veterans to build a stable and fulfilling life in recovery.
- Peer Support: One of the most valuable aspects of our rehab program for veterans is the opportunity to connect with fellow ex-servicemen who understand your experiences and can offer empathy, encouragement, and support. Our group therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where veterans can share their stories, learn from one another, and form lasting bonds of camaraderie that continue long after treatment ends.
How Ex-Servicemen Pay for Treatment
Financial concerns should not stand in the way of getting the help you need. Fortunately, there are several options available to help ex-servicemen cover the cost of rehab, including:
