Tactical Recovery Veterans Program
Understanding the Special Needs of the Veteran and First Responder communities in Iowa
St. Gregory Recovery Center in Bayard, Iowa, is honored to support our military and first responder communities through our Tactical Recovery program. While alcohol and drug addiction can affect anyone, military and first responder communities are especially at risk. Through our specialized treatment program, we can help individuals recover from substance use disorder while building a solid foundation for lasting freedom.
What is Tactical Recovery?
The Tactical Recovery program is unique among other Iowa addiction treatment centers in that it provides a veteran-focused tract that runs alongside our traditional programming. Our residential treatment provides a safe, structured environment for veterans and first responders who are struggling with a substance use disorder.
While at St. Gregory, our clients find recovery in their mind, body, and spirit. Our addiction treatment program allows guests to cultivate the confidence and strength needed to make the decision to leave behind their drug or alcohol dependency.
What makes it different?
In the Tactical Recovery residential program, every day is designed to optimize the time we have with our clients and set them up for success when they leave. Clients can expect some combination of the following:
- Detoxification, when necessary, with around-the-clock medical monitoring.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy, and 12-Step work
- Individual, group, and family programming
- Nutritional education and exercise
- Equine therapy
- Recovery coaching and life planning
St. Gregory's Unique Approach to Veteran Care
St. Gregory Recovery Center helps clients learn new skills that can empower them to make the positive choices that help them abandon their addictions and lead fulfilling lives. Individuals who are struggling with dependency can learn how to apply their new, positive, decision-making abilities to a variety of situations.
In contrast to the cold, clinical environments of most hospital-based drug addiction recovery programs, we offer a warm, caring environment to promote enrichment and learning.
