Supporting Our Veterans: Tactical Recovery Program
The men and women who serve in our nation’s military, along with their families, bear a tremendous responsibility in protecting our freedoms. This weight can often become overwhelming, leading to lasting psychological and emotional effects.
In recent years, there has been a troubling rise in suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use disorders (SUDs), depression, and anxiety among Veterans and active military members. The Tactical Recovery Program (TRP) was created to address these challenges, providing targeted support to combat the psychological toll that service members endure throughout their careers.
How Tactical Recovery Helps Veterans Thrive
The Tactical Recovery Program is built around four core activities tailored to the unique needs of Veterans:
- Mental Health and Stress Management: Five weekly sessions focused on mental health treatment, nutritional therapy, and stress-management education.
- Peer Support: Five weekly group meetings to foster a sense of community and normalize the Veteran experience.
- Pain Management: A series of four pain-management sessions designed to address chronic and acute pain often experienced by Veterans.
- Wellness Amenities: Access to amenities like a gym, spa, pool, whirlpool, sauna, and the popular aqua bed massager to enhance relaxation and recovery.
After completing the inpatient program, clients transition to aftercare services, which include counseling, sober living support, relapse prevention education, and permanent inclusion in a close-knit Veteran support network.
The Origins of Tactical Recovery
The Tactical Recovery Program was developed in response to compelling data highlighting the need for Veteran-centric care that addresses detoxification, recreational therapy, education, aftercare, and trauma-informed services.
Key statistics that underscore this need include:
- Rising Mental Health and SUD Rates: In 2019, 3.9 million Veterans reported having a mental illness or SUD—a 6.5% increase from 2018.
- Chronic Pain: Sixty-five percent of non-active military members report experiencing pain up to three months post-deployment, with 9% suffering acute pain.
- Opioid Crisis: Deaths from opioid overdoses among Veterans rose by 53% between 2010 and 2019.
While being a Veteran is a unique experience, the challenges of mental health and substance use are not new. Tactical Recovery integrates proven methods of recovery—including residential treatment, family support, and aftercare services—tailored to Veterans’ distinct needs and perspectives.
