Active Duty & Veteran Treatment Programs

Veteran Drug & Alcohol Rehab that Respects Your Service and Supports Your Recovery

Serving your country takes courage. But when the uniform comes off, the weight of what you’ve seen and survived doesn’t always go away. At Cenikor, our addiction treatment for military and veterans is designed to meet you with respect, not red tape.

You’ll find more than just standard treatment here. Cenikor’s veteran drug & alcohol rehab programs are built by professionals who understand the unique pressures of military life—before, during, and after service.

Why Military Members and Veterans Face Unique Challenges

Being away from home for long stretches and dealing with high-stress situations can take a serious toll.

It’s common for veterans and active duty service members to face PTSD, substance abuse, anxiety, or depression because of these experiences. Once you return to civilian life, it can feel even harder to find your footing and start the recovery process.

Many veterans also face:

Difficulty accessing consistent behavioral health care
Delays in services through the system
Stigma around seeking mental health or addiction treatment
Barriers to reconnecting with loved ones or communities

Finding Treatment and Care

Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a powerful act of strength. It’s showing up for yourself the same way you would for a friend.

At Cenikor, we’re here to honor that strength.

We offer addiction treatment for veterans like you, built on both clinical expertise and a deep respect for military culture. You’ll find care that gets where you’re coming from and stays focused on where you want to go.

What Makes Cenikor’s Veteran Rehab Different?

Recovery should feel personal, not like you’re being squeezed into someone else’s plan. At Cenikor, addiction treatment for veterans is shaped around what actually matters to you: trust, respect, and support that goes deeper than just checking boxes.

Your experiences are unique, and your care should reflect that. At Cenikor, it does.

Recovery is about real healing, not just managing symptoms.
