MORRIS COUNTY — Rolling Hills Recovery Center, a prominent New Jersey facility specializing in drug addiction treatment, proudly announces its new program designed to aid veterans facing challenges with substance abuse. In light of concerning data regarding veterans’ struggles with addiction, the center is introducing a Drug Rehab Scholarship Program specifically for veterans who lack insurance or the financial means to afford necessary treatment services. This initiative reflects RHRC’s commitment to supporting those who have served our nation and need assistance in their recovery journey.
One of the beneficiaries of the impactful Veterans Addiction Treatment Program is a former service member known as Sergeant Jacob Stone, a pseudonym to safeguard his privacy. Sgt. Stone, a retired Marine Corps veteran, faced significant challenges with alcohol and prescription opioid addiction following his service in the Middle East.
Sgt. Stone recounts his journey: “After years of privately fighting my inner battles, I came to a point where I could no longer manage on my own. The Veterans Program at Rolling Hills Recovery Center turned out to be my beacon of hope. The team there treated me with dignity and empathy, and their holistic approach to treatment empowered me to overcome my addiction and reclaim my sense of purpose. Now, as a sober veteran, I stand proudly, immensely thankful for this renewed opportunity in life.”
Official data indicates that veterans constitute approximately 7% of the U.S. population. Alarmingly, a significant portion of them, around 66%, suffer from chronic pain. Additionally, over 10% of these courageous individuals grapple with substance abuse issues, often as a result of combat-related trauma that leads to unhealthy coping mechanisms. For example, 65% of veterans who seek treatment are dealing with alcohol use disorder.
At Rolling Hills Recovery Center, the commitment to veterans goes beyond statistics. Mr. Robert Marino, the center’s visionary founder, strongly believes in the right of every hero to access healing and recovery.
Mr. Marino emphasizes, “Our veterans have given so much for our nation, and we must give back by offering them the necessary care and support to conquer addiction. The Drug Rehab Scholarship Program symbolizes our unwavering commitment to these valiant individuals. We have faith in their resilience and bravery and aim to assist them in regaining control of their lives and finding renewed hope.”
The Rolling Hills Recovery Center (RHRC) is set to grant one scholarship every month, enabling 12 deserving veterans to access full-scale addiction treatment each year.
At RHRC, a specialized team of experts employs a variety of proven methods and holistic therapies, tailoring them to meet the individual needs and specific challenges of each patient.
At Rolling Hills Recovery Center, a range of evidence-based techniques is utilized, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Group Therapy, Individual Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. These programs are designed to help patients identify and alter detrimental thought patterns, develop effective coping mechanisms, and foster positive behavioral changes throughout their recovery process.
Moreover, RHRC incorporates holistic therapies in its approach. These include Recreational Therapy, Music Therapy, Art Therapy, Yoga Therapy, Reiki Therapy, and Massage Therapy, all aimed at enhancing the mental, physical, and spiritual health of each individual. This comprehensive strategy is geared towards reestablishing balance and promoting overall well-being during the treatment and recovery phases.
The center prioritizes a straightforward application and admission process for those seeking assistance. To apply for the Drug Rehab Scholarship Program, veterans are required to provide evidence of their military service, demonstrate a financial need, and participate in an intake evaluation. The center’s empathetic admissions team is always available to assist with the application process and answer any queries.
