Dedicated Care for Veterans and Their Families
We provide residential, customized care in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. Our services are led by accomplished clinical and medical experts with decades of experience in addiction treatment and proven evidence-based therapies. Valley Hope closely collaborates with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and caregivers to ensure our treatment model brings value to VA’s efforts to address each Veteran’s full range of healthcare needs.
Our holistic, collaborative approach is specifically designed to treat the multi-dimensional, co-occurring needs of Veterans suffering from addiction and other mental health diagnoses. Our dedicated treatment team is committed to life-changing care, working hand in hand with Veterans and their families to reclaim their lives from addiction and substance use disorder (SUD).
How Veterans Can Get Help for Drug and Alcohol Addictions
Valley Hope can receive a community care referral from VA.
Eligible Veterans must contact their local VA facility to schedule a consultation. If a Veteran needs assistance determining which VA facility to contact, Valley Hope can lend support.
No Out of Pocket Costs If Referred by the VA.
Once VA makes a referral, Veterans can begin treatment at Valley Hope.
When you arrive for your scheduled intake, you will be greeted by one of our compassionate team members, then meet one-on-one with a licensed admissions counselor or admissions nurse. This on-site assessment will inform the clinical care team as they develop your tailored treatment plan.
Valley Hope coordinates all care with VA to ensure that each veteran’s care plan can be delivered in a timely and effective way.
Continue to strengthen your recovery with ongoing support services from VA.
Working with the Department of Veterans Affairs to Promote Access to Care, Stability and Recovery
Valley Hope works closely with local VA facilities to provide and coordinate life-saving addiction treatment for eligible Veterans served by the VA Community Care Network.
TriWest Healthcare Alliance and OptumServe have credentialed Valley Hope to provide eligible Veterans with specialized SUD treatment under VA’s Community Care Network. Valley Hope treatment centers can receive referrals from VA to support Veterans.

Support for Veterans’ Families
Valley Hope’s Family Care Program provides both individual and group therapy sessions for family members of Veterans. Valley Hope also offers individualized virtual sessions with the Veteran and their family member when on-ground options are not possible for the family.
These services can include individual family sessions that help facilitate the healing of family relationships while offering the necessary support family members and loved ones need during the addiction treatment and recovery journey.
Family programming is an essential part of successful treatment and recovery. Valley Hope helps family members reconnect with their loved one through education and therapy designed to assist the family in understanding the complexities of addition and develop strategies for providing ongoing support to their loved one.
Family Relationship Repair
Addiction is a family disease due to the impact that a loved one’s addiction can have throughout the family system. The results are often broken relationships and emotional wounds that can persist even after their loved one’s substance use has stopped.
Additionally, the work that it takes to achieve and maintain recovery requires support, ongoing engagement, hope, and renewal.
Participation in Valley Hope’s Family Program can help family members learn how to support their loved one throughout the recovery journey, and access supportive resources, community-based services, or referrals for the family member’s own healing and support. Valley Hope’s licensed/certified therapists are equipped to help the family identify resources that best meet their needs and recommend services families may find helpful within the community.
Addiction Education for Families
When it comes to understanding addiction, many family members still have dangerously misinformed perceptions and fears about addiction, intensifying the toxic emotions and reactions that substance use disorders cause. Valley Hope provides family members with education on the complex, chronic brain disease of addiction and the family role in treatment and recovery.
Recovery Support for Families
Once your loved one completes treatment, the recovery process truly begins. Long-term recovery is a lifelong journey for your loved one and the family. Valley Hope helps family members explore effective, healthy strategies of support that are helpful both during and after the treatment experience. Taking an active role in the treatment process and creating a supportive environment for your loved one when they return home can help them embrace recovery and reduce the risk of relapse.
