Veteran Recovery Systems

Advocacy & Initiatives

Sierra Health & Wellness’ Veteran Recovery Systems refers to its integrated, trauma-informed continuum of care for veterans—covering addiction recovery, mental health treatment, PTSD care, dualdiagnosis services, and longterm reintegration supports. Policy relevant work aligns with state and federal priorities around veteran addiction recovery, parity enforcement, and coordinated systems of care.

What “Veteran Recovery Systems” Represents

Across its California and Nevada network, Sierra Health & Wellness operates a holistic, multilevel treatment system specifically designed for veterans. This system includes:

Medical detox and stabilization for substance use disorders.

Dual-diagnosis treatment addressing cooccurring addiction and mental health conditions.

PTSD specific programming with trauma-informed clinical care.

Residential and outpatient pathways (IOP, PHP) tailored to service-related trauma.

Sober living and alumni support for longterm recovery and reintegration.

VA aligned community care partnerships, enabling veterans to access treatment through VA referrals.

This system is built as a Continuum of Care, ensuring veterans can move up or down in treatment intensity as needed—mirroring SAMHSA’s recommended model for addiction recovery.
