Our alcohol rehab programs are incremental: we’re with you through every stage of your treatment to give you the best chance at lifelong sobriety.

Medical Detox

With 24/7 medical supervision, treatment for withdrawal symptoms and a safe environment, our medical detox helps make withdrawal as comfortable as possible.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab helps you focus entirely on your recovery. During treatment, clients live at the facility and undergo the most intensive, structured programing.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our intensive outpatient program supports the move into outpatient care after an inpatient stay, or is a more intensive first step for milder addictions.

Co-occurring Disorders Treatment

Co-occurring mental health disorders like anxiety or depression can worsen addiction symptoms. All levels of care can offer treatment for co-occurring disorders for a healthier life.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medications can help clients with alcohol or opioid use disorders manage cravings and avoid relapse, as medically appropriate.

EMDR treatment for eligible patients

EMDR therapy can relieve mental pain and emotional recession in veterans who have experienced trauma, leading to better addiction outcomes.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment: What’s Involved?

At The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper, we treat the whole person — not just their addiction. Our approach is supported by evidence and research, then customized to meet each veteran’s needs.

Group therapy provides veterans support, guidance and fellowship from other veterans and first responders who understand what they’re facing.

Our counselors work with veterans one-on-one to address their physical, mental and emotional symptoms and help them process trauma.

 

Our programs train you to manage life without alcohol. You’ll step down to lower care levels as you heal and continue gaining new skills.

 

Downtime is important for reflecting, rebuilding your health and forming connections with other veterans in recovery. A fully-equipped gym and recreational sports make this time count.

Excessive alcohol use often leads to nutritional deficits. Our cafeteria provides delicious meals to meet patients’ nutrition needs as they recover.

Recovery doesn’t end when you leave treatment. Our aftercare program includes veteran-specific relapse prevention plans, referrals, recommendations and follow-ups.
