About Us
Veteran-Focused Behavioral Health & Recovery Services
RecoVET is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization based in St. Louis, MO, committed to empowering veterans, active-duty service members, and their families as they face the complex challenges of behavioral health, substance use disorders, and reintegration into civilian life. Our veteran-centered approach delivers a full spectrum of behavioral health services—including supportive housing and life skills training—in a compassionate and structured environment designed to foster healing, resilience, and long-term success.
Our mission is rooted in connection, healing, and hope. Through strong partnerships with trusted organizations such as the Assisted Recovery Centers of America (ARCA), the Salvation Army, CAFE, and the Gibson Center for Behavioral Change, we ensure that every individual in our care has access to the resources they need to thrive.
At RecoVET, we believe recovery is not just about treatment—it’s about rebuilding lives. Our peer support specialists walk alongside residents in our transitional living program, helping them access care, build resilience, and rediscover purpose.

Our Programs & Services
RecoVET provides comprehensive, veteran-focused care designed to support recovery, independence, and long-term success.
RecoVET is dedicated to empowering veterans in our supportive living program by facilitating meaningful connections with social service organizations and behavioral healthcare providers throughout the St. Louis Metro Area. Through these partnerships, we aim to foster lasting, positive change in the lives of those we serve.
RecoVET has established strong collaborative relationships with key community partners, including the Assisted Recovery Centers of America (ARCA), the Salvation Army, CAFE, and the Gibson Center for Behavioral Change. These partnerships are initially supported by RecoVET peer support specialists, who accompany residents in our transitional living program to ensure their physical, mental, and emotional health needs are comprehensively addressed.
Programs & Services
RecoVET’s Supportive Housing Program offers a safe, structured, and healing environment for individuals navigating mental health challenges or substance use disorders. Rooted in compassion and accountability, the program fosters personal growth and stability through peer support, community engagement, and access to essential services.
As one resident, Jordan Hampton, describes it: “A brotherhood filled with comradery and support.” This sense of belonging and mutual encouragement is at the heart of RecoVET’s mission to uplift and empower every veteran we serve.
Supportive Housing
At RecoVET, we understand that adults navigating transitional phases in life often face a range of challenges that require a strong foundation of essential life skills.
Developing these skills is critical for managing the increasing complexities of everyday life.
Whether it's financial literacy, emotional intelligence, effective communication, or time management, life skills serve as the building blocks for personal growth, resilience, and long-term stability.
Our training programs are designed to equip individuals with practical tools and strategies that empower them to confidently handle life’s challenges and pursue meaningful, independent living.
