The unique stressors and challenges of military life, such as combat exposure, extended deployments, and the difficulty of transitioning back to civilian life, can contribute to the development of substance abuse and mental health problems in active members of the military. Studies have shown that prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse, as well as mental health disorders like PTSD and depression, are more frequent among active duty soldiers than the rest of the population.

This intensive, immersive program provides a structured and supportive environment where individuals can focus on their recovery, develop new coping skills, and address the underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. The RTC includes a combination of individual therapy, group counseling, and holistic approaches to promote healing of the mind, body, and spirit.
Dual Diagnosis Programs for Co-Occurring Disorders
Many active duty military personnel who struggle with substance abuse also have co-occurring mental health disorders, such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety. Longbranch Recovery offers specialized dual diagnosis programs that address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Our clinical team is trained in evidence-based practices for treating co-occurring disorders, ensuring that individuals receive comprehensive care that promotes overall well-being and long-term recovery.
Trauma-Informed Care Programs
Trauma is a common experience among active duty military personnel, and it can be a significant contributing factor to substance abuse and mental health issues. Longbranch Recovery offers trauma-informed care programs that recognize the impact of trauma on an individual’s life and provide a safe, supportive environment for healing.
Our clinical team uses evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), to help individuals process traumatic experiences and develop healthy coping strategies.
Family Therapy and Support
Addiction and mental health issues can have a profound impact on family relationships, and the support of loved ones can be crucial in the recovery process. Longbranch Recovery offers family therapy and support services to help repair and strengthen family bonds, educate family members about addiction and mental health, and provide tools for creating a supportive home environment. We understand that recovery is a family process, and we are committed to involving loved ones in treatment and aftercare planning.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment approach used at Longbranch Recovery. CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to substance abuse and mental health issues. Through CBT, clients learn to recognize triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and build problem-solving skills to maintain long-term recovery.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another evidence-based treatment utilized at Longbranch Recovery. DBT is particularly effective for individuals with co-occurring disorders, as it focuses on developing skills for managing intense emotions, navigating interpersonal relationships, and tolerating distress.
12-Step Facilitation Therapy
12-Step Facilitation Therapy is an evidence-based approach that introduces clients to the principles and practices of 12-Step programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). This therapy helps individuals understand the value of peer support, spiritual growth, and personal accountability in the recovery process. By incorporating 12-Step principles into treatment, Longbranch Recovery helps clients build a strong foundation for long-term recovery and connect with a supportive community of peers.
Group Therapy and Peer Support
Group therapy and peer support are essential components of evidence-based treatment at Longbranch Recovery. In group therapy sessions, clients come together to share their experiences, challenges, and successes with others who are also in recovery. This supportive environment fosters a sense of camaraderie, reduces feelings of isolation, and allows individuals to learn from one another.
Military-Specific Issues
Combat-Related Trauma and PTSD
Combat-related trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are significant concerns for many active duty military personnel seeking treatment at Longbranch Recovery. Exposure to life-threatening situations, witnessing violence, and experiencing the loss of fellow service members can have a profound impact on an individual’s mental health and contribute to substance abuse as a means of coping.
Our clinical team is highly trained in addressing combat-related trauma and PTSD, utilizing evidence-based therapies to help clients process their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience.
Grief, Loss, and Survivor’s Guilt
Grief, loss, and survivor’s guilt are common experiences among active duty military personnel, particularly those who have served in combat zones. The loss of fellow service members, the guilt of surviving when others did not, and the grief associated with these experiences can contribute to substance abuse and mental health issues.
Impact on Relationships and Family Dynamics
Substance abuse and mental health issues can have a significant impact on relationships and family dynamics, particularly for active duty military personnel who may experience extended separations from loved ones. Longbranch Recovery recognizes the importance of addressing these relational challenges and offers family therapy and support services to help repair and strengthen family bonds.
Aftercare and Continuum of Care at Longbranch Recovery
Importance of Ongoing Support After Inpatient Treatment
At Longbranch Recovery, we understand that recovery is a lifelong journey that extends beyond the walls of our inpatient rehab facility. Ongoing support is crucial for maintaining sobriety, managing mental health, and navigating the challenges of daily life after treatment. Our aftercare and continuum of care services are designed to provide the ongoing support and resources necessary for long-term success in recovery.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) at Longbranch Recovery

IOP provides a balance of group therapy, individual counseling, and life skills training to help clients maintain their progress, develop a strong support network, and address any ongoing challenges or concerns.
Our aftercare services include targeted support and resources to help clients navigate these transitions, such as assisting with communication with commanding officers, providing guidance on maintaining recovery while fulfilling military obligations, and offering support for those separating from the military and adjusting to civilian life.
