Who We Serve
Addiction Treatment Created for Those Who Have Served
At Sober First Recovery, we proudly serve the men and women who have served our country. Military service often brings experiences that can affect mental health, relationships, and substance use long after active duty ends. Our programs are designed specifically for veterans, providing personalized addiction treatment that addresses both substance use and the challenges that often accompany military service.
Located in Newport Beach, California, Sober First Recovery welcomes veterans from across the United States. Whether you served overseas or stateside, our team is committed to helping you build a healthier future through evidence based treatment and compassionate care.
Veterans From Every Branch of the United States Military
Sober First Recovery proudly serves veterans from every branch of the United States Armed Forces, including:
- United States Army
- United States Marine Corps
- United States Navy
- United States Air Force
- United States Coast Guard
- United States Space Force
- National Guard
- Military Reserve Components
Although every military branch has a different mission, many veterans face similar struggles after leaving the service. Combat exposure, deployments, military sexual trauma, chronic stress, and the transition to civilian life can all contribute to addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.
Our treatment programs recognize these shared experiences while respecting each veteran’s individual story.
Veterans Seeking Addiction Treatment
Many veterans turn to alcohol or drugs as a way to cope with difficult emotions, trauma, chronic pain, or stress. Over time, substance use can affect physical health, careers, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Sober First Recovery provides treatment for veterans struggling with:
- Alcohol Addiction
- Opioid Addiction
- Heroin Addiction
- Fentanyl Addiction
- Prescription Drug Addiction
- Cocaine Addiction
- Methamphetamine Addiction
- Benzodiazepine Addiction
- Marijuana Addiction
- Polysubstance Use
Every treatment plan is personalized to help veterans build healthy coping skills while working toward lasting recovery.
Veterans Living With PTSD and Trauma
Many veterans continue to experience the effects of military service long after returning home. PTSD and trauma can make everyday life feel difficult and often contribute to substance use.
We help veterans experiencing:
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Combat Trauma
- Military Sexual Trauma (MST)
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Hypervigilance
- Nightmares
- Flashbacks
- Emotional Distress
Our dual diagnosis approach addresses addiction and mental health together, helping veterans heal both physically and emotionally.
Veterans With Co Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Addiction frequently occurs alongside mental health conditions. Treating both at the same time often leads to stronger long term recovery.
Our clinical team works with veterans experiencing:
- PTSD
- Anxiety Disorders
- Depression
- Mood Disorders
- Trauma Related Disorders
- Stress Related Conditions
- Substance Use Disorders
Each veteran receives an individualized treatment plan based on their personal needs and recovery goals.

- Florida
- Arizona
- Nevada

Our admissions team can help answer questions about traveling for treatment, insurance verification, and what to expect before arriving.
Many veterans find that leaving their everyday environment allows them to fully focus on recovery without outside distractions.
Families Supporting a Veteran
Addiction affects the entire family. We encourage healthy family involvement whenever appropriate because loved ones often play an important role in long term recovery.
Family participation may include:
- Family Therapy
- Addiction Education
- Communication Skills
- Relapse Prevention Planning
- Ongoing Recovery Support
Helping families understand addiction creates stronger support systems after treatment.
