VETERANS
PROGRAM
Our mission is to give back to our heroes who bravely serve our nation every day. We understand that the stressors related to military life can often lead to substance abuse issues. Here, we offer comprehensive Veteran recovery treatment plans to active duty members and their dependents who are dealing with these challenges.
We focus on addressing the distinct challenges faced by our military community. Our team of skilled therapists is well-versed in the unique stresses and experiences encountered by military personnel and their families. We are prepared to manage co-occurring disorders, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression, offering essential tools for a successful and enduring recovery.
TRICARE for dependents
We are proud to accept TRICARE insurance, which also covers dependents of active-duty military personnel. This enables us to offer exceptional treatment and recovery services at little to no cost for you and your family.
Support for family members
We understand that addiction impacts not only the individual facing substance abuse but also their loved ones. This is why we provide resources and counseling for family members as well. Our goal is to support the entire family unit, promoting understanding, empathy, and stronger connections.
SUPPORT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
"After deployment, I began drinking to cope, impacting my time with my daughter. The Mississippi DATC program taught me to manage triggers, connected me with understanding peers, and involved my family in recovery. Now, my daughter and I communicate again, and I have routines that help me stay grounded. Recovery is challenging, but I've learned it's achievable."
SOLID RECOVERY PLAN
"The speaker initially felt skeptical about treatment programs but found personal care at Mississippi DATC. Therapy sessions addressed trauma, counseling provided relapse-prevention skills, and family modules supported rebuilding trust. They are now working, attending meetings, and present for their kids, with a solid recovery plan and supportive people."
REBUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
"I'd lost trust in myself — and nearly my family. Mississippi DATC gave me tools, a support team that listened, and a structure that helped me stay sober. Today I'm rebuilding relationships with my wife and kids, and I finally feel hopeful about the future."
