State-certified, medically supervised residential detox — safe withdrawal in a home-like setting, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Medical detox is the first and most critical step in addiction recovery. At AHVets, detox is provided in a safe residential setting staffed by licensed, certified substance abuse counselors. When your body is physically dependent on alcohol or drugs, withdrawal can be dangerous — our team monitors you around the clock to ensure your safety and comfort.
Unlike a hospital or clinical setting, our home-like environment removes the stigma and anxiety that can prevent veterans from seeking help. Detox typically lasts 5 to 10 days depending on the substance and individual medical needs. Our team conducts ongoing progress evaluations throughout your stay and develops an individualized treatment plan for your next step.
We operate three distinct detox settings to meet the needs of every veteran and community member:
Our main detox home serves men and women in a shared, supervised residential environment. All genders are welcome in a safe, structured setting.
A dedicated detox home for male veterans — a brother-to-brother environment staffed and designed by those who understand military service and its unique challenges.
An affirming, culturally sensitive detox environment for LGBTQ+ veterans and community members. Every person deserves to feel safe while seeking help.
Around-the-clock monitoring by licensed counselors throughout the entire detox process.
Live-in program in a safe, home-like environment. Meals, laundry, and housekeeping included.
One-on-one sessions with a licensed counselor plus group therapy to address root causes of addiction.
Remote physician consultations for medication-assisted treatment during the withdrawal process.
Ongoing individual assessments throughout your stay with a personalized plan for continuing care.
Warm handoff to residential treatment, sober living, or outpatient programs upon completing detox.
Exercise programs, vitamins, dietary staff, and nutrition education to rebuild physical health.
Professional intervention support for veterans, families, and loved ones before or during admission.
Completing detox is a tremendous achievement — but it's just the beginning. Our case managers provide warm referrals to the next level of care, including our 30-60-90 day residential treatment program, sober living homes, or community outpatient services.
Don't try to detox alone — it can be dangerous. Our team is ready to help 24 hours a day. The call is free, confidential, and could save your life.
