Veterans RECOVERY and mental health

HUD shows that veterans are two to three times more likely to be homeless than any other group in the US adult population.

Veterans between the ages of 18 and 30 are twice as likely as adults in the general population to experience homelessness.

Half suffer from mental illness; two-thirds suffer from substance abuse problems; and many from dual diagnosis

Veterans tend to experience homelessness longer than their non-veteran peers.

Research shows that homelessness and housing insecurity has been shown to be connected to opioid over-doses, especially among Veterans. Individuals experiencing housing insecurities were twice as likely to need hospitalization (Milaney et al., 2021) and the greatest risk factors for homelessness are lack of support and social isolation after discharge. Social networks are particularly important for those who have a crisis or need temporary help. Without this assistance, they are at high risk for homelessness.

With an estimated 500,000 veterans homeless at some time during the year, the VA reaches 20% of those in need, leaving 400,000 veterans without supportive services.

SOBRIETY

Our sober living homes provide a structured environment that fosters accountability, helping participants in sobriety court meet their legal obligations and stay on track with their recovery journey.

Leveraging data analytics, we tailor our support programs to meet individual needs, ensuring that participants have the resources they need to succeed in both sobriety court and their long-term recovery.

Situated in safe, clean, middle-class neighborhoods, our homes offer beautiful, large lots with a zen-like environment to promote healing and well-being, aiding participants as they navigate the challenges of sobriety court.

Our community-centric approach provides ample opportunities for peer support and mentorship, which are crucial for emotional well-being and long-term success in sobriety court.

We maintain open and transparent communication with legal professionals involved in sobriety court cases, providing regular updates on participants' progress and any challenges they may be facing.

Those early in their recovery journey

Our homes act as a crucial bridge between detox and long-term recovery, providing a supportive environment that helps individuals transition back into daily life while maintaining sobriety.

With a focus on accountability, our home encourages a structured daily routine to promote attending group meetings, therapy sessions, and wellness activities, aiding in the maintenance of a sober lifestyle post-detox.
