Treatment That Understands Military Culture

Military service creates a distinct set of experiences — combat exposure, operational stress, separation from family, and the challenges of returning to civilian life. Inneractions’ outpatient program is designed to work alongside those realities, not around them.


Our clinical team is trained to address the intersection of substance use and mental health conditions common in veteran populations, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance, in a structured but flexible schedule that fits working veterans and caregivers.

Clinical Services Included

  • Individual therapy with licensed clinicians
  • Group therapy in a structured schedule
  • Trauma-informed care approaches
  • Co-occurring mental health treatment
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) evaluation
  • Relapse prevention and coping skills
  • Family education and support sessions
  • Care coordination with outside providers
  • Virtual IOP option for remote or traveling veterans
  • Confidential — separate from VA records

Common Challenges Among Veterans

Substance use in veteran populations is often connected to underlying conditions that require simultaneous treatment.

🏈

PTSD & Trauma

Combat exposure, operational stress, and MST (Military Sexual Trauma) can contribute to substance use as a coping response. Our program addresses both together.

📋

Alcohol & Substance Use

Alcohol, opioids, cannabis, and prescription medications are among the most commonly misused substances in veteran populations. All are addressed in our program.

☕

Depression & Anxiety

Mood and anxiety disorders frequently co-occur with substance use. Dual diagnosis treatment at Inneractions addresses both conditions clinically.

🌎

Reintegration Stress

Transitioning from active duty to civilian life brings its own challenges. Our clinicians understand the cultural and identity shifts involved in that process.

Levels of Care Available

Inneractions offers multiple intensities of outpatient treatment so your level of care can match your current needs.

PHP

Partial Hospitalization

Full-day structured programming Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The most intensive outpatient level, appropriate for those stepping down from residential or needing daily clinical support.

IOP

Intensive Outpatient

Multiple sessions per week with individual and group therapy. Designed to accommodate work, family, and other obligations while maintaining meaningful clinical contact.

Virtual IOP

Telehealth IOP

The same structured IOP delivered via secure video. Practical for veterans who commute, travel, or prefer to engage from home without sacrificing clinical depth.

Dual Diagnosis

Co-Occurring Conditions

Substance use and mental health conditions are treated together by our clinical team. No need to choose between programs — both are addressed in the same setting.

Common Questions from Veterans

Is this program connected to the VA?

Inneractions is a private, DHCS-licensed outpatient program and is not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Many veterans choose private programs for scheduling flexibility, shorter wait times, or to keep treatment separate from their VA records. We can help you verify your private insurance or discuss other payment options.

Will my insurance cover treatment?

Many private insurance plans cover IOP and PHP at Inneractions. We verify benefits as part of the admissions process and explain your coverage before you begin. Call us and we’ll check your benefits at no cost to you.

Do I need to complete detox before starting?

Medical detox is required for some substances before outpatient treatment begins. During your intake call, our clinical team will assess your current situation and, if detox is needed, help coordinate a safe placement so you can transition directly into our program.

Can I continue working while in the program?

Yes. IOP and Virtual IOP are structured to accommodate work and family schedules. PHP runs Monday through Friday daytime hours and may require a temporary adjustment to work commitments, depending on your situation. We’ll help you think through scheduling during your intake call.
