Veterans face unique challenges that can contribute to substance use disorders, including combat-related trauma, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain and the difficulty of transitioning to civilian life. At The Recovery Village Columbus, we provide specialized addiction treatment for veterans and active-duty service members, with programming designed to address the specific experiences and needs of those who have served.

Our facility participates in the VA Community Care Network, allowing eligible veterans to receive treatment at our Groveport, OH campus.

VA Community Care Network

The VA Community Care Network (CCN) allows eligible veterans to receive addiction treatment at approved community facilities when VA facilities cannot provide timely or geographically accessible care. The Recovery Village Columbus is approved within the CCN, meaning eligible veterans may receive treatment here with VA-covered benefits.
