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
From inpatient rehabilitation to intensive outpatient 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 four types of programs we offer:
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.
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.
PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM
In the partial hospitalization program, military veterans come to our facility for up to five hours a day, returning home in the evening. This offers a structured level of support that doesn’t compromise a person’s independence.
This non-residential program involves one or two hours of care per day. Participants can maintain work and home life while attending morning or evening sessions.
Benefits of Our Facility
Heroes’ Mile offers a new facility that opened in 2019 on 10 acres of secluded land. Veterans who come to us enjoy privacy, professionalism and a full range of inpatient and outpatient programs designed to address military mental health and addiction concerns. Our services include daily group therapy, individual therapy, recreational therapy, family/marriage counseling, nutrition education and more. We have a full staff of medical, therapy, and nursing personnel, and we are operated and staffed by veterans who understand the military experience.
