Welcome to Heroes’ Mile
Veteran Recovery Center
For Veterans By Veterans
Heroes’ Mile is an addiction recovery center for veterans suffering from substance use disorder. Each level of care is trauma-informed to support veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and military sexual trauma (MST), in addition to other psychological and mental health challenges related to their military service.
Addiction Treatment Levels of Care
We provide different levels of care for different levels of need. We understand that addiction is complex and provide treatment options to meet you where you are. Here are the types of programs we offer:
INPATIENT DETOXIFICATION
In our detox program, we provide personalized, compassionate care while the body recovers from the use of drugs or alcohol. This is all done under medical supervision to ensure safety as well as success for our patients.
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT
In our residential rehab program, veterans participate in a wide range of programs and activities aimed at preparing them for life outside of our facility.
