Research-Affirmed Treatment for Patriots, by Patriots

At Hanley Center, we honor the profound sacrifices of veterans and first responders. The brave men and women in these high-stress roles are particularly vulnerable to mental health issues and substance use disorders. This vulnerability is why we are committed to supporting them through our Patriots treatment program.

Our goal is to offer a safe, understanding, and compassionate environment where our nation’s heroes can begin to heal through trauma-informed, effective mental health and addiction treatment for first responders and veterans.

Understanding The Challenges of Our Nation’s Heroes

Veterans and first responders put their lives on the line every day to protect the citizens of the United States of America. This commitment, however, often comes at a significant cost: substance use disorders, and mental health issues due to occupational trauma.

Consider these alarming statistics:
• Approximately 5.2 million veterans experienced a behavioral health condition in 2020.
• 90% of veterans and first responders experiencing a substance use disorder did not receive treatment.
• 85% of first responders report symptoms related to depression.
• 69% of EMS professionals do not have enough time to recover between traumatic events due to the high pace of work.
• Nearly 30% of all first responders develop a behavioral health condition.
• 14% to 16% of the U.S. service members deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq have been affected by PTSD or depression.
• First responders develop PTSD at rates significantly higher (11-20%) than those found in the regular adult population (4%).

These figures underscore the urgent need for specialized behavioral health and addiction treatment for veterans and first responders.
The American Patriots treatment program at the Hanley Center provides crucial supportive care and behavioral health treatment services. It is specifically designed for first responders, active and retired, veterans, and active-duty military experiencing substance use and/or mental health disorders.

MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS

Specialized Treatment Approaches for Mental Health & Addiction

Through the Patriots treatment program at Hanley Center, we offer inpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) addiction treatment for first responders and veterans and specialized, trauma-informed care designed to improve their quality of life.

We employ a blend of cognitive-behavioral and trauma-specific therapies, relationship and systemic-based interventions, and traditional psychotherapy, along with pharmacological treatments, including:

• Private medical detoxification (if needed)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Individual, Group, and Family Therapies

Our highly trained treatment team is certified to meet the unique cultural needs of veterans and first responders with many of our staff having first-hand lived experience.

Each therapy at our first responder and veteran’s addiction treatment center is carefully selected to address the unique needs of veterans and first responders, helping them regain control and stability in their lives.

Who We Treat

We welcome all men and women who serve as first responders, active and retired, active-duty military personnel, and veterans. Our program is designed to address the significant mental and emotional challenges that often accompany service and sacrifice.

Veterans

Veterans returning from combat often experience waves of emotions in response to surviving traumatic events. You may experience anxiety, guilt, anger, PTSD, depression, and difficulties reintegrating into civilian life, leading to problems with substance use.

Our skilled clinicians are ready to help you manage these emotions and overcome substance use disorders with specialized rehabilitation programs for veterans, so they no longer disrupt your daily life.

Law Enforcement

Law enforcement professionals face unique challenges in their line of duty (e.g., high stress, trauma exposure, and the need for constant vigilance). These situations increase your risk of developing PTSD, depression, and substance use disorders.

We are skilled, experienced, and ready to help you begin your healing journey with veteran drug rehab and law enforcement mental health programming.

Fire Fighters

It is common for firefighters to endure traumatic incidents and life-threatening situations. The pressure to protect lives and property can come at the cost of your mental and emotional well-being.

We offer a personalized firefighter mental health program to support your unique needs, address the trauma, help enhance your resilience, and build practical coping techniques. This program also includes a medically monitored detox and alcohol rehab for firefighters, if needed.

EMT

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) experience critical situations requiring rapid decision-making on nearly every shift. These high stakes demands can erode your emotional and mental health over time.

We focus on the impact of trauma exposure and help build preventative strategies for burnout so you can better manage problems with substances as well as the emotional toll of providing critical medical care.

Hanley Center’s Approach

The Patriots Program at Hanley Center stands out for its commitment to addressing the specialized needs of military veterans and first responders, backed by over four decades of compassionate care.

Our comprehensive approach is designed to help individuals cope with the emotional and psychological effects of military service, deployment, reintegration, combat trauma, and more.

Our 12-Step immersion-based program is designed to help individuals cope with the emotional and psychological effects of military service, combat trauma, and more. Our veteran substance abuse programs provide targeted, trauma-informed care to address substance use disorders and mental health issues stemming from occupation-specific traumatic stress.
