Why Mental Health Support for Veterans Matter
Mental health challenges can feel isolating—especially for veterans. Some carry guilt or shame from their experiences. Others believe no one can truly understand what they’re going through and try to shoulder the burden alone.
If you’re a U.S. military veteran facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or any other mental health disorder, here are three things you need to hear:
You are not alone.
Help is available.
Treatment works.
Mental health conditions are treatable. Thousands of veterans have been where you are—and found real healing through compassionate, evidence-based care. Whether it’s at a specialized veterans rehab or a trusted mental health program, the right support can change your life.
You deserve to feel better. And with the right treatment, you can.
You Are Not Alone.
You Deserve To Get Help.
Arbor Wellness is an industry leader in mental health treatment. Our team of top medical experts specialize in dual diagnosis treatment and are committed to ensuring that each patient is treated as an individual.
Call us today, we’re available 24/7.
Common Mental Health Conditions We Treat in Veterans
If you’re a veteran struggling with your mental health, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Arbor Wellness, we specialize in treating a wide range of disorders common among military veterans.
🛈 If you don’t see your specific condition listed, that doesn’t mean we can’t help. Our admissions team carefully evaluates every individual to ensure the best possible fit and we’ll help guide you to the right place if another facility is a better match.
Veterans experiencing anxiety can benefit from structured care focused on managing symptoms like panic attacks, hypervigilance, and excessive worry through therapy, medication, and calming techniques.
Inpatient treatment helps veterans overcome persistent sadness, loss of motivation, and hopelessness with evidence-based therapy, routine, and supportive care.
Our trauma-informed care helps veterans process combat or service-related trauma in a safe environment, easing symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional distress.
We offer integrated treatment for addiction and co-occurring disorders, helping veterans break the cycle of substance use while addressing the root causes.
Stabilize the highs and lows of bipolar disorder with a structured daily routine, medication support, and individual and group therapy.
With medication management and therapeutic support, our team helps veterans manage delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking in a secure setting.
Veterans struggling with intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can receive specialized therapy to reduce symptoms and regain control.
Veteran Mental Health Treatment Options at Arbor Wellness
At Arbor Wellness, we provide multiple levels of mental health care tailored to meet the unique needs of U.S. military veterans. Whether you need round-the-clock supervision or more flexible support, our programs are designed to help you heal in a safe and structured environment.
This is our highest level of care. Features include full days of treatment, multiple forms of therapy and related services, nutritious meals, comfortable rooms, and round-the-clock supervision.
Our PHP also offers full days of treatment, but without a residential component. When our PHP isn’t in session, veterans can return to their homes or to an alternative supported living environment.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Treatment in our IOP balances structured clinical care with ample opportunities for independent living. At the IOP level, veterans can take part in partial days of treatment three to five days per week.

What Are the Benefits of Attending a Rehab Program for Veterans?
Veteran-specific rehab programs offer a range of unique advantages that can make a significant difference in your recovery journey:
Specialized Environment: You’ll receive care in a safe, structured setting designed to support healing and growth.
Military-Informed Professionals: Staff members understand the unique stressors, challenges, and culture of military life.
Peer Support: You’ll connect with fellow veterans who share similar backgrounds and experiences—creating a powerful sense of understanding and community.
Comprehensive Treatment: Programs address both mental health and co-occurring disorders such as substance use, ensuring whole-person care.
Insurance Coverage: Many veteran rehab programs accept Tricare, making treatment more accessible.
Personal Transformation: Most importantly, these programs help you rediscover your resilience, purpose, and sense of self.
What’s the Difference Between IOP and PHP for Veterans?
The main difference between an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the level of structure and time commitment.
PHP is more intensive, typically involving full-day treatment sessions five days a week. It’s ideal for veterans who need a higher level of care but don’t require 24/7 supervision.
IOP offers more flexibility, with treatment sessions usually lasting 2–3 hours a day, 3–5 days per week. This allows veterans to continue working, going to school, or fulfilling other responsibilities while still receiving structured support.
Both programs include therapy, medication management (if needed), and support from clinicians experienced in working with veterans. The right option depends on your current needs and treatment goals.
