Military service is honorable; but lasting effects aren’t always visible.
For many, challenges begin when deployment ends or a uniform comes off.
But there’s always hope. Beach House Center for Recovery has a military rehab treatment program that’s tailored to veterans and active duty personnel.
It includes care for substance use, mental health challenges, and PTSD. Our military addiction treatment in Florida gives you or a loved one the time and space to detox and begin healing, with the right support and therapies.
If you served our country and need support for substance use, addiction, or PTSD, please call to speak with someone who can help.
Military service requires strength, discipline, and sacrifice. Recovery often requires those same qualities.
The Freedom First Program is Beach House Center for Recovery’s dedicated treatment track for veterans and active duty service members facing substance use disorders, PTSD, trauma, and other mental health challenges.
This specialized track combines evidence-based clinical care with a deep understanding of military culture, helping patients feel understood, respected, and supported throughout treatment.
One of the program's greatest strengths is its leadership. The Freedom First Program is overseen by a U.S. Army Veteran and triple Board-Certified Psychiatrist who understands both the clinical and personal realities many veterans face when seeking help.
Patients also benefit from low patient-to-therapist ratios, allowing for more individualized attention and meaningful therapeutic relationships. The program maintains an 8:1 ratio for mental health services and a 10:1 ratio for substance use treatment.
Treatment may include specialized trauma-focused therapies such as:
These therapies are designed to help veterans process traumatic experiences, reduce emotional distress, and build healthier coping strategies for long-term healing.
For veterans, active duty military personnel, and military families seeking a treatment program built around their unique experiences, the Freedom First Program offers a path forward grounded in understanding, respect, and hope.
Beach House Center for Recovery accepts TRICARE for eligible veterans and active duty service members. Accepted plans include:

If you are a veteran seeking treatment for substance use or mental health concerns, our admissions team can help you understand your insurance and coverage options and guide you through the next steps.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 2.8 million U.S. veterans had a substance use disorder in the past year, representing 14% of veterans, based on 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health data. Veteran-specific treatment can address substance use while also considering the trauma, stress and experiences associated with military service.
Many veterans carry experiences that are difficult to explain to those who have never served.
Combat exposure, military sexual trauma, loss of fellow service members, and repeated deployments can leave lasting emotional wounds that continue to affect daily life years later.
Trauma-informed care recognizes the impact of military trauma and provides treatment in a way that promotes safety, trust, empowerment, and healing. Veterans participate in therapies designed to address trauma while developing healthier coping strategies and improving emotional regulation.
Our team incorporates integrated trauma treatment into care plans when appropriate, helping patients address both trauma symptoms and substance use concerns simultaneously.
Substance use disorders rarely exist in isolation. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans with substance use disorders are also three to four times more likely to receive a PTSD or depression diagnosis.
Because these conditions often influence one another, treatment must address both.
Our programs include access to dual diagnosis treatment that helps patients address addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns together.
Post-traumatic stress disorder is one of the most common mental health conditions affecting veterans. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans with PTSD are twice as likely to meet criteria for alcohol use disorder and three times as likely to meet criteria for a drug use disorder compared with veterans who do not have PTSD.
Symptoms such as hypervigilance, nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, and sleep disturbances can significantly affect daily life.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, more than 4 in 10 adults with PTSD also have problems with alcohol or drug use.
Many veterans use alcohol or drugs in an attempt to manage PTSD symptoms.
Unfortunately, substance use often worsens these symptoms over time. Our integrated PTSD treatment for veterans helps address both conditions simultaneously, supporting long-term healing.
Depression and anxiety can develop during active service or emerge during the transition back to civilian life.
Symptoms may include:
Our military drug program in Juno Beach, FL helps veterans identify these symptoms and develop healthier coping strategies.
Traumatic brain injuries are common among military populations and can affect memory, concentration, emotional regulation, and decision-making.
When TBI occurs alongside substance use, treatment becomes more complex. Our clinical team considers cognitive and neurological factors when developing individualized treatment plans for veterans with TBI-related concerns.
In addition to PTSD treatment, we also provide support for:
Alcohol use disorders are among the most common substance use disorders affecting veterans and active duty military personnel.
At Beach House Center for Recovery, we offer veteran-focused alcohol addiction treatment that combines evidence-based therapies with individualized support.
Treatment may include:
When appropriate, medication-assisted treatment may be used to help reduce cravings and support recovery.
Our goal is to help veterans understand the underlying causes of alcohol misuse while developing practical strategies for long-term sobriety.

The VA Community Care Network (VA CCN) is a program that allows eligible veterans to receive care from approved community providers outside the VA system. Beach House Center for Recovery participates in the VA CCN Region 3.
In many cases, seeking treatment is viewed more favorably than allowing untreated substance use or mental health concerns to continue. However, every situation is unique. Veterans and active duty service members should discuss specific concerns with appropriate military or legal resources.
TRICARE does not set one standard number of days for rehab coverage.
Coverage depends on your plan, medical necessity, level of care and authorization requirements.
TRICARE covers residential substance use disorder treatment when medically necessary and eligibility criteria are met, but pre-authorization is required. Continued coverage may depend on your clinical needs and treatment progress. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain your coverage.
You spent years answering the call to serve others. Seeking help for yourself is not a sign of weakness—it is an act of strength.
Whether you're an active duty service member, veteran, spouse, or family member seeking help, our admissions team is available 24 hours a day to answer questions, discuss treatment options, and help you understand your next steps.
