Veterans Inc - Independence Hall

Support for Veterans and Adults With Complex Needs

Veterans Inc provides a strong fit for veterans as well as adults with co-occurring mental health disorders, chronic pain, HIV or AIDS, gambling disorders, or experiences of trauma, sexual abuse, or intimate partner violence. Case management, early intervention for HIV, suicide-prevention services, recovery coaching, and social-skills development help clients address practical and emotional needs that affect stability. Spanish language support improves access for those who prefer services in another language.

Nature-Based Setting With a Distinct Recovery Identity

Independence Hall sits on 22 acres of wooded land, giving clients access to gardens, walking paths, quiet outdoor areas, and places to meet in fresh air. Treatment staff deliver evidence-based care in a way that feels approachable and grounded, pairing therapy and education with time spent outside. This setting creates space to decompress while building new habits in a calm, restorative environment.

Integrated Medical, Therapeutic, and Primary Care Services

Clients can access several levels of care, including 24-hour clinical stabilization services, day treatment, and outpatient counseling. Treatment includes evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, trauma-related counseling, anger management, and 12-step facilitation, with telehealth available. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT), mental health care, acupuncture, and integrated primary care are supported by thorough assessments and testing, including screenings for substance use, mental health needs, tuberculosis, hepatitis, HIV, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Daily Living, Amenities, and Practical Skill-Building

Daily life includes access to private or shared air-conditioned rooms, Wi-Fi, indoor lounges, a library, meditation spaces, and a café that offers healthy and vegan-friendly meals. Outdoor relaxation areas and walking paths provide natural breaks for reflection between group meetings. The center’s policies permit smoking in designated areas and prohibit vaping. Job training, life-skills workshops, transportation assistance, housing support, and coordinated discharge planning help clients prepare for life after treatment and maintain routines that support long-term recovery.
