Understanding Veterans’ Unique Needs

Veterans often face a myriad of challenges when transitioning back to civilian life, including PTSD, depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Bluff Augusta recognizes these unique needs and provides a safe, supportive environment where veterans can heal. Our multidisciplinary team includes experienced therapists, counselors and medical professionals who specialize in treating issues common among veterans. Our goal is to help veterans regain control of their lives, achieve sobriety and build a future filled with hope and purpose.

Utilizing the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VA-CCN)

As a member of the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VA-CCN), we leverage the resources available for veterans to provide seamless access to care. The VA-CCN allows veterans to receive care from community providers when VA services are not readily available. This partnership ensures that veterans have timely access to high-quality treatment tailored to their specific needs.

Benefits of the VA-CCN include:

  • Access to a broad network of community-based providers
  • Streamlined coordination of care between the VA and Bluff
  • Comprehensive coverage for a range of services, including medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment
  • Reduced wait times for appointments and treatment initiation

Customized Treatment Programs

Bluff Augusta offers a variety of treatment programs specifically designed for veterans, incorporating evidence-based therapies and holistic approaches to address the root causes of addiction and mental health issues. Our programs include:

  • Medical Detoxification: Our medically supervised detox program helps veterans safely withdraw from substances under the care of experienced medical professionals. We provide 24/7 monitoring and support to manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure a safe, comfortable detoxification process.

  • Inpatient Rehabilitation: Our residential rehab program offers a structured environment where veterans can focus on their recovery. With individualized treatment plans, veterans receive intensive therapy, counseling and support to address their addiction and any co-occurring mental health disorders.

  • Outpatient Programs: For veterans who require a more flexible treatment option, our outpatient programs offer comprehensive care while allowing individuals to maintain their daily responsibilities. These programs include individual therapy, group therapy and family counseling sessions.

  • Holistic Therapies: Bluff Augusta integrates holistic therapies such as yoga, meditation and equine therapy into our treatment programs. These therapies promote physical and emotional healing, helping veterans develop healthy coping mechanisms and improve their overall well-being.

  • Family Support: Understanding that addiction affects the entire family, we weave family involvement into our treatment programming to help loved ones understand the recovery process and provide support. Strengthening family bonds and breaking unhelpful patterns within families are crucial components of long-term recovery.

Dedicated Support for Co-Occurring Disorders

Many veterans struggle with co-occurring disorders, such as PTSD and substance abuse. Bluff Augusta provides integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders, addressing both the addiction and the underlying mental health issues. Our dual diagnosis approach ensures that veterans receive comprehensive care that promotes lasting recovery.

Aftercare Planning and Support

The recovery process does not end upon completion of a residential rehab program. Bluff Augusta emphasizes the importance of aftercare planning to help veterans maintain their sobriety and continue their progress. Our aftercare services include:

  • Sober Living Arrangements: Assistance in finding safe and supportive housing options

  • Ongoing Therapy and Counseling: Continued access to individual and group therapy sessions

  • Support Groups: Connecting veterans with peer support groups to share experiences and provide mutual support

  • Employment and Educational Support: Resources and assistance in finding employment or pursuing educational opportunities
