Veteran Sober Living Program

The Veteran Sober Living Program is dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and structured environment for veterans recovering from substance use disorders. Our goal is to assist veterans in achieving long-term sobriety, stability, and successful reintegration into civilian life. This program emphasizes peer support, personal responsibility, and access to essential resources.
