Healing Our Heroes

Proudly Serving Veterans, Active-Duty Military, First Responders & Their Families

Background

Find Freedom from Substance Use, Mental Health & Eating Disorders

Veterans and active-duty servicemembers have sacrificed so much of themselves by pledging to fight for our freedoms. First responders put their lives on the line every day for their communities. And families of all of these heroes try to stay strong, waiting for them to make it back home safely. Sometimes, all the sacrifice can be too much, and you may turn to unhealthy behaviors to cope.

When it’s time to pull yourself out of the darkness and find hope, you need a place that not only supports you, but also values the lifestyle aspects of those who serve their country and communities. The Discovery Behavioral Health Stars & Stripes program has evidence-based, trauma-focused and personalized treatment in all levels of care that is led by a staff trained in understanding the culture of the military and first responders.

Compassion & Camaraderie Post-Treatment

We’re honored to help our nation’s heroes and their families rebuild their lives. Our clinical and administrative teams take their responsibilities seriously, as many have either walked in their shoes and have been trained to understand the cultural sensitivities of the military and first responders. At discharge and beyond, we establish care coordination between our facilities and other resources or partnerships within the community, whether that’s with the VA or other organizations.\

Discovery for Life™ and Discovery 365™

When the Stars & Stripes program comes to an end, we remain committed to providing you with ongoing support. After treatment, you automatically have Discovery for Life – free support that’s with you for a lifetime. What’s more, Discovery for Life begins with Discovery 365, a 16-point interactive assessment and check-in program for one year after discharge. With Discovery 365, we use proprietary technology to intervene when you need additional support. Think of it as a safety net to keep you on track and successful in your recovery journey.

In-Network Insurance Accepted

We work with Tricare and VA insurance. We proudly partner with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a provider in the Community Care Network (CCN) and can serve veterans with an authorized referral from their VA.
