When you’re dealing with addiction or mental health challenges after military service, knowing the types of therapy available is the first step toward taking control.
Our rehab treatments for veterans include a range of services that address various veteran conditions we treat for both physical dependence and emotional struggles.
From detox to therapy, each step plays a role in long-term recovery.
According to the NCBI, 41% of those seen in VA health facilities have a mental health or substance use disorder diagnosis, showing how common these issues are among former service members. That number reflects a need for targeted, effective care tailored to the unique stressors and trauma of military life.
At Mississippi Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center in Biloxi, we provide individualized care for those who have served. We offer medical detox, inpatient, and outpatient services, plus specialized support for mental health conditions. Our team is here to help you build a stronger future, starting right here in the Back Bay.
Medical Detox for Substance Use Recovery
Medical detox is often the first step in addiction recovery. It clears the body of drugs or alcohol in a safe, supervised setting. At our Biloxi facility, detox is monitored by trained medical staff who help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce health risks.
This step is especially important for former service members who may have been dealing with long-term substance use. By stabilizing the body, detox prepares clients for the next stages of treatment.
Withdrawal Management in a Safe Environment
Withdrawal can bring serious discomfort, and in some cases, medical risk. That’s why our team uses clinical guidelines, such as those outlined by the World Health Organization, to support patients during withdrawal.
We offer both inpatient and outpatient withdrawal support, tailored to your specific needs. Veterans and active-duty personnel benefit from a calm, controlled setting where withdrawal symptoms are carefully managed.
Dual Diagnosis: Treating the Whole Person
For many, addiction is only part of the issue. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders like PTSD, depression, Military Sexual Trauma (MST), or anxiety.
At Mississippi Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center, we understand the connection between trauma and addiction. We offer integrated care to treat both issues simultaneously, which studies have shown improves outcomes.
A recent report from the Veterans Administration (VA) found that 21% of individuals diagnosed with a mental health condition also had a co-occurring substance use disorder.
Residential Treatment in Mississippi
Our residential program in Biloxi provides 24-hour care in a supportive environment. This structured setting is ideal for those needing space away from triggers or unstable living conditions.
Clients in residential treatment follow a personalized plan that may include therapy, peer support, group sessions, and medical oversight. For retired military personnel, the security and routine of residential care often align well with past experiences in service.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
PHP is a day-treatment model where clients participate in structured care but return home in the evening. It’s a good option for those who don’t need full-time supervision but still require more support than weekly counseling can offer.
Our PHP clients receive group therapy, individual sessions, and medical check-ins. It’s often used as a step-down program from residential treatment, allowing for continued support during early recovery.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
Our IOP program is designed for people who are stable enough to live independently but still benefit from a structured schedule of treatment. Sessions are held several times a week and include therapy, relapse prevention, and skill-building workshops.
This level of care works well for Mississippi service members transitioning back into work or family life. It allows flexibility while maintaining a strong support network.
Family Therapy for Better Long-Term Recovery
Addiction affects more than the individual. It creates stress, broken trust, and emotional damage in families. Our family therapy program is focused on helping loved ones heal together.
We offer counseling that teaches communication skills, boundary-setting, and ways to support recovery without enabling. Rebuilding healthy family dynamics plays a key role in sustained recovery.
Couples Counseling for Rebuilding Trust
Relationships often suffer in the wake of addiction. Our couples counseling helps partners address past hurts and develop new tools for mutual support.
Therapy focuses on communication, conflict resolution, and accountability. It’s a valuable option for those whose relationships have been affected by military-related stress, PTSD, or substance use.
DUI Assessments and Legal Support Services
A DUI arrest can lead to court-ordered assessments. Our licensed team provides DUI evaluations that include a detailed interview, history review, and standardized testing. These assessments help determine the severity of the issue and guide sentencing, treatment, or education programs.
In Mississippi, completing a DUI assessment may also be necessary for reinstating your driver’s license. We provide these evaluations in compliance with legal standards and work closely with individuals referred by the court system.
