Detox Services Designed for Veterans

Veterans face unique challenges that can contribute to substance use, including combat-related trauma, difficulty transitioning to civilian life, chronic pain from service-related injuries, and the lasting effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At Sunrise Detox Cherry Hill, we understand these challenges and provide compassionate, specialized care for those who have served.

Our staff is trained to recognize the specific needs of veterans and to create a treatment environment that respects your service and addresses the factors that may be driving substance use. We are honored to support you as you take this important step toward recovery.

Military-Related Risk Factors

Veterans may be more susceptible to substance use due to:

Combat exposure and traumatic experiences
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Chronic pain from service-related injuries
Difficulty adjusting to civilian life
Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Depression, anxiety, and survivor's guilt

Our Approach to Veteran Care

Sunrise Detox Cherry Hill provides a safe, respectful environment where veterans can begin recovery from alcohol and drug dependence. We recognize that substance use among veterans is often connected to the unique stressors of military service, and our treatment approach reflects that understanding.

Our clinical team includes professionals experienced in working with veteran populations. We incorporate trauma-informed care practices throughout your stay and coordinate with VA resources to ensure continuity of care after detox.

PTSD & Addiction

Post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders frequently co-occur among veterans. Many veterans turn to alcohol or drugs as a way to cope with the symptoms of PTSD, including flashbacks, hypervigilance, nightmares, and emotional numbness.

At Sunrise Detox, we understand that treating substance use without addressing underlying trauma can undermine recovery. Our dual diagnosis approach ensures that both conditions are recognized and that your aftercare plan includes resources for continued PTSD treatment.
