The Margaret Cochran Corbin Campus of the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System offers comprehensive residential addiction treatment for veterans in New York City.

Residential Addiction Treatment Designed for Veterans
The residential program at the Manhattan VA Medical Center provides 24 hour therapeutic and educational support specifically for U.S. Veterans. This track is designed to treat substance use disorders alongside co occurring mental health diagnoses such as PTSD, depression and anxiety. It offers a structured environment for veterans facing compounded challenges, including unemployment and housing instability.
Clients can expect a multidisciplinary approach involving psychiatrists, social workers, and addiction therapists in a teaching hospital setting. Treatment plans utilize evidence based counseling, group therapy, and peer support to foster rehabilitation and life skills. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also available to help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms during the recovery process.
Social and Integrated Support
Veterans entering the program typically follow a structured pathway tailored to their specific medical and social needs. Along with 24 hour therapeutic programming and educational workshops, your program can integrate services to address housing, employment, or training goals. You'll also build a support system by being around other Veterans in recovery so that you can strengthen each other's sobriety.
Comprehensive Care and Enrollment
Beyond residential stays, the facility offers flexible outpatient services, individual counseling, and specialized support for women and LGBTQ+ veterans. As a teaching hospital affiliated with NYU and SUNY, the center ensures access to a full range of primary and specialty medical care.
Primary payment is handled through VA health benefits, requiring enrollment and documentation of service. While the facility focuses on eligible veterans, specific coverage details are confirmed during patient registration.
