Veteran Substance Use Treatment

Bay Pines offers a full continuum of addiction care from a new Medical Detox Unit for alcohol withdrawal to residential and outpatient programming.

The detox unit is supported by hospitalists, acute nursing, psychiatry and an embedded therapist available seven days a week.

Treatment blends counseling, group work, medication management, peer support and psychiatric evaluation, with individualized planning for every Veteran.

The program emphasizes wrap-around services that connect Veterans directly from detox into longer-term residential or outpatient care.

Residential Recovery and Reintegration

The Domiciliary Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program supports Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness pairing mental health rehabilitation with community living.

Recovery goals extend into vocational rehabilitation through Compensated Work Therapy using the Individual Placement and Support model, plus homeless services and care coordination.
