What Is Tactical Recovery?
Tactical Recovery is a veteran-specific rehab program built on the belief that healing must address the emotional, physical, and psychological wounds of military service. Our approach blends clinical excellence with deep military cultural competence to support veterans recovering from:
- Alcohol addiction
- Drug dependence
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Co-occurring mental health conditions
We employ veterans and individuals in long-term recovery on our care team to ensure every client is seen, heard, and supported by people who understand their experience.
