St. Joseph's Addiction Treatment & Recovery Centers

02/03/2026

Now Accepting Veterans & First Responders — Immediate Openings

St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment & Recovery Centers is currently welcoming veterans and first responders into the Col. C. David Merkel, MD Residential Program, with beds available now.

Those who serve often carry the weight of trauma and high‑stress experiences quietly. Over time, this can lead to substance use, gambling, anxiety, depression, sleep issues or a growing sense of disconnection from family and purpose. Asking for help is hard—especially for those used to being the helper.

👉 If you or someone you love needs support, reach out today. Help is here.

Strength Starts with Support 💪

Men often come into treatment carrying heavy expectations—be strong, don’t ask for help, handle it alone. Add trauma, family or legal pressure, and years of using substances to cope, and recovery can feel overwhelming.

At St. Joseph’s, our men’s programming meets these challenges head‑on—building accountability, connection, and personal responsibility in a supportive setting.
