Serving in the military requires extraordinary strength, discipline, and sacrifice. But the challenges of service—long deployments, combat exposure, high stress, and constant demands—can take a toll on mental health and increase the risk of substance use disorders. For many active duty service members, drugs or alcohol may become a way to cope with trauma, physical pain, or overwhelming pressure.
At Lucid Oceanside, a luxury treatment center located directly on the ocean in Southern California, we are proud to provide specialized drug and alcohol treatment for active military personnel. Our program is designed to meet the unique needs of service members, combining clinical excellence, compassionate support, and holistic therapies in a setting that promotes healing and resilience.
Members of the armed forces face unique stressors that can make them more vulnerable to addiction:
At Lucid Oceanside, we understand these challenges and provide confidential, nonjudgmental care so that service members feel safe seeking help.
Active duty personnel require a clinically tailored approach that goes beyond standard rehab. Our integrated program addresses not only substance use but also co-occurring mental health concerns like PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
At Lucid Oceanside, we offer:
Each service member undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history, substance use patterns, trauma background, and personal goals for treatment. This allows us to create an individualized treatment plan that supports both recovery and overall well-being.
The first step is often detox. For military clients, detox is conducted in private, luxury accommodations with 24/7 medical supervision. Comfort and dignity are our top priorities, and when appropriate, medications are used to ease withdrawal symptoms from alcohol, opioids, or other substances.
Once stabilized, clients begin therapy tailored to military-specific needs, such as:
Relapse prevention planning – Tools to handle triggers during or after service.
Healing for service members must be comprehensive. At Lucid Oceanside, our holistic therapies complement evidence-based clinical care. Options include:
These therapies help service members rebuild their strength mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Addiction affects not just the individual but also their loved ones. Our program offers family therapy and couples counseling to rebuild trust and create healthier support systems. This is especially important for military families dealing with separation, deployment, or the challenges of reintegration.
