Operation Recovery
Learn More About Our Military Treatment Program
At Wilmington Treatment Center, we consider it both an honor and a privilege to be entrusted with the care of men and women who serve our nation. In order to ensure that we are offering the highest quality of care in a manner that is best suited to their unique needs, we have created Operation Recovery, a specialized treatment track for active-duty military members, veterans, and retirees, military branch emblems as well as first responders such as police officers, emergency medical technicians, and firefighters.
The goal of Operation Recovery is to provide a supportive environment in which military members and first responders can receive focused treatment for substance abuse, chemical dependency, and co-occurring mental health disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Because individuals in these professions are so often exposed to trauma, they are at significantly increased risk for developing PTSD. By participating in Operation Recovery, these individuals can receive care that has been customized to address their unique experiences, and that is provided by professionals who have specific expertise in working with members of the military and first responder communities.
