The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) estimates that at least 7% of veterans experience PTSD at some point in their lives. While 7% may sound like a small number, that translates to more than 1 million veterans in need of support for PTSD.
The VA also found that 2.8 million veterans in 2023 reported having at least one substance use disorder in the past year.
Where do these veterans turn for help? The VA offers many programs and treatment options; however, their resources struggle to meet the demand for therapy, addiction rehab, and other practical support.
That’s where organizations like the National Center for Healthy Veterans step in, filling in gaps in care where VA access is limited.
Dedicated to Serving Those Who Served
The Center offers a nine-month residential program at their Valor Farm in Altavista. Veterans receive whole-person treatment, addressing needs of the body, mind, and soul. Over three 12-week trimesters, participants focus on resilience, trauma recovery and career preparation.
Veterans live in the Patriot Community Village, which consists of 19 tiny homes and a community center where residents can participate in recreational activities, engage in fitness programs, and share meals.
The Center is expanding to meet the continued and growing need for veteran care. A second Village is currently nearly complete, which will add 12 additional homes, and a third Village is under construction.
Expanding Access to Veteran Care Nationwide
The National Center for Healthy Veterans is just one of many programs available nationwide. Organizations like this exist to help veterans avoid long wait times and gain access to treatment.
