Serving in the military requires dedication, courage, and resilience. Active service members and Veterans can experience a range of challenges stemming from their service, including combat, deployment, and transitioning to civilian life. It can be hard to talk about these experiences with others, which can create a sense of loneliness or isolation.
At Harmony Treatment Centers, we provide specialized, compassionate outpatient care that can help address many challenges unique to service members and Veterans. Our Monterey and San Jose programs offer Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP), and aftercare support. We use evidence-based therapies to treat mental health, substance use, and trauma-related disorders. Continue reading to learn about how we can support you in your mental health journey.
Understanding the Unique Needs of Veterans
Service members can experience an assortment of unique stressors that civilians cannot relate to. This can include high-stress environments, relocations, deployments, long periods away from family, and transitioning to civilian life. These experiences can affect your sense of safety, trust, and connection with family, friends, and the world around you.
If you find yourself struggling with your mental health, know that this is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign that you’re human. You may struggle with irritability, sleep difficulties, hypervigilance, substance abuse, or social withdrawal. Your relationships may be negatively affected, creating difficulties across various areas of your life. At Harmony Treatment Centers in Monterey and San Jose, we honor your military service without making assumptions about your experiences.
Mental Health Conditions We Address
Veterans can experience a range of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, chemical dependency, and trauma-related disorders like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). You may find that your symptoms stem from experiences during your service that conflict with your values, which can feel like a moral injury.
At Harmony Treatment Centers, we are equipped and experienced in treating a broad range of conditions. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to better understand your symptoms, history, and needs. We look for symptoms like flashbacks, emotional numbing, social withdrawal, and interpersonal difficulties. From here, we can determine which treatment program best suits your symptoms and identify your treatment goals. Our treatment programs are not one-size-fits-all and are tailored to your unique needs. If you or a loved one is a Veteran seeking mental health support, contact Harmony Treatment Centers by calling 831-747-1727 today for a confidential and free assessment.
