Legacy Healing Center Proudly Serves Those Who Have Served Us

Between 2010 and 2019, the number of drug overdose deaths among veterans rose by 53%, driven mainly by the opioid epidemic. This is the tragic reality, but it does not have to be yours.

Legacy Healing can help you find a meaningful life of sobriety. Our Ohio rehab center for veterans is staffed by a team of seasoned professionals who understand the unique challenges faced by veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.

Our evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy programs are tailored to this courageous community’s specific needs, including trauma counseling for PTSD recovery. We prioritize your confidentiality to ensure a secure and personal journey to recovery.

Care is within reach. Our addiction treatment center in Ohio accepts Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits and is in the VA’s Community Care Network.

Fighting a New Battle at Home

In 2020, more than 6,000 veterans lost their battle with mental health and tragically ended their own lives. The suicide rate for veterans is more than 57% higher than other Americans of the same age and gender. This is a tragedy that Legacy Healing Center is determined to help put an end to.

Many of these suicides are the result of the deadly downward spiral that can result when mental health issues like PTSD and substance use disorders like opioid addiction join forces. Legacy Healing Center’s dual diagnosis treatment is designed to address both mental health and substance use disorders simultaneously, so that you can fully heal.
