-
Compassion: We see the person, not just the diagnosis.
-
Connection: We link you to the best care in St. Louis.

Advanced Clinical Care Through Our ARCA Partnership

Did you know?
Veterans are at a 50% higher risk of suicide than their peers who have not served.

Substance Use Treatment
RecoVET is proud to partner with Assisted Recovery Centers of America (ARCA) to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care for individuals facing substance use disorders (SUD). Together, we offer programs that address both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction while supporting individuals in maintaining their daily lives.
Through this partnership, we provide access to ARCA’s full range of integrated services:
-
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): FDA-approved medications, including Suboxone and naltrexone, help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms safely and effectively.
-
Individual and Group Therapy: Personalized counseling and group sessions foster peer support and address each person’s unique needs.
-
Behavioral Health & Psychiatric Services: Integrated care ensures co-occurring mental health conditions are treated alongside addiction for long-term recovery.
-
Relapse Prevention Planning: Patients gain strategies to recognize triggers, develop coping skills, and maintain sobriety.
-
Care Coordination & Case Management: Personalized support connects individuals to community resources, housing, employment, and other essential services.
-
Onsite Pharmacy Services: Immediate access to prescribed medications reduces barriers to care and promotes treatment adherence.
Flexible Outpatient Programs
Through our partnership, ARCA’s outpatient programs allow individuals to pursue treatment while managing work, family, and daily responsibilities. This flexible model provides a supportive, practical pathway to recovery.
Peer Support & Case Management
At RecoVET, we believe recovery begins with stability. Our supportive housing program provides veterans with a safe, clean, structured, and drug-free environment where they can focus fully on healing and rebuilding their lives.
Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. For many veterans, the journey includes navigating substance use challenges, mental health concerns, and the transition back into civilian life. We are committed to walking alongside each resident with compassion, accountability, and respect.
A Safe Place to Rebuild
Operating seven supportive living homes throughout the St. Louis Metro Area, RecoVET offers transitional housing designed to foster independence while maintaining the structure needed for early recovery.
Our homes provide:
-
Stable, substance-free living environments
-
Peer support from fellow veterans in recovery
-
Structured expectations that promote responsibility and growth
-
A strong sense of community and belonging
This is more than housing — it is a foundation for long-term success.
Integrated Support and Access to Care
Through partnerships with trusted organizations including the Assisted Recovery Centers of America (ARCA), the Salvation Army, CAFE, and the Gibson Center for Behavioral Change, we ensure residents have access to comprehensive behavioral health and social services.
Our peer and administrative support teams help residents connect to:
-
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
-
Mental health services
-
Primary and dental care
-
Case management and social services
-
Education, employment, and goal-setting resources
We understand that timely access to care can make all the difference. That’s why RecoVET prioritizes responsiveness, offering minimal to no wait times — including same-day consultations for new clients whenever possible.
Recovery with Dignity
Every veteran’s story is unique. Our supportive housing program is designed to meet individuals where they are and help them move forward with confidence. We are here not only to provide a place to live, but to create an environment where hope is restored, independence is strengthened, and long-term recovery becomes achievable.
If you or a loved one is ready to take the next step, we are ready to help. No veteran should have to face recovery alone.
