When men and women volunteer to join the military, they take an oath to protect our country with their lives. These courageous military members live by the values of duty, honor, and country. It is our duty, then, to protect these veterans once they have completed their service and returned home.
After these heroes have discharged from service, some may find it difficult to adjust back to civilian life. Unfortunately, some veterans may even turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to manage stress or symptoms of a mental health disorder, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Because California is home to over 1.8 million veterans, a larger number than any other state, it is vital that veterans are able to get the help they need and deserve. New Bridge Foundation® is a place of hope with our residential addiction treatment services for veterans in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our team at New Bridge Foundation® has years of experience with helping military veterans overcome their addiction disorders. We offer a program that is specifically designed for military veterans, Operation Success.
What Is the Operation Success Program?
New Bridge Foundation®’s Operation Success program is tailored for the men and women who have honorably served our country, as well as those still on active duty and their dependents. Our team of experts has received training that is purposefully geared toward the needs of military personnel and veterans, and we are proud to help them win their fight against substance use disorders. Some of the services included in our Operation Success Program include:
- Individualized treatment planning
- Coping skills for PTSD
- Stress management
- Biofeedback
- Coordination with VA and military treatment providers
- Medication management
- Physical training
The Operation Success Program includes a short-term residential program as well as an outpatient program. The New Bridge Foundation® team consults with you to choose the program that best serves your needs.
What Is Helios?
At New Bridge Foundation®, we believe that the best way to overcome addiction is by treating the whole person instead of focusing exclusively on drugs and alcohol. Our short-term rehab program, known as Helios, is designed to give individuals a solid foundation for recovery in a relatively brief period of time. New Bridge Foundation®’s multi-disciplinary team emphasizes on the quality of care and provides you with constant support and education.
What Is the Difference Between Residential and Outpatient Treatment?
One of the main differences between residential and outpatient treatment is whether or not you stay at our facility or at home. Some people require a residential level of care so that they are provided with the safety, security, and structure offered by a residential program. Residential treatment allows individuals to immerse themselves in the recovery process without the distractions and temptations of the outside world, allowing them to begin recovery surrounded by support.
Our outpatient services are being provided virtually. The outpatient program meets several days (or evenings) per week and is highly interactive and educational. Individuals who are best suited to this program are those who do not require a residential level of care, have some support in their lives, and need the flexibility due to work, school, or other obligations.
