Veterans and First Responders Residential Addiction Treatment
Focused specifically on the needs of our Veterans And First Responders, the Col. C. David Merkel, MD Residential Program is OASAS licensed and open to all Veterans and First Responders regardless of their branch of service or discharge status.
“This place helped me immensely. The staff and environment was overall one of caring and people who want to genuinely help. Unlike most places, there are counselors to talk to if you need to at anytime. Some people might not realize how rare that is. This is a rehab, not a place for a vacation. They give you an individualized program and the opportunity to take the time to work on yourself. Every rehab will have a certain amount of "drama" because there are a bunch of people with addictions living together trying to learn to be clean and sober. The food was good, and we had time outside everyday. The rules are strict but fair, and they are there to benefit you in the long run.”
