Men's Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Programs
The men's alcohol and drug addiction recovery program at Veritas Villa maintains an environment conducive to the overall goal of abstinence. The Villa offers a home style atmosphere conducive to a person’s sense of belonging and well being. The essential segment of the men's alcohol and drug recovery program is the client's understanding of their addiction, his family and their problems. It is essential to involve all clients in recovery therapy and other group activities to break down isolation and alcohol and drug addiction denial and encourage open and honest communication.
Utilizing the Most Effective Alcohol & Drug Addiction
Recovery Program
Veritas Villa utilizes the 12-Step philosophy, the most effective long-term recovery program for drug and alcohol addiction treatments.
The addiction recovery program employs:
- group therapy
- group discussions
- individual addiction counseling sessions
- lectures
Our men's drug and alcohol program is "variable length of stay" -- the length of the addiction recovery program is based on the needs of each individual client. We work in conjunction with EAP coordinators, agencies, etc.

My name is Matt Ryan and I would like to welcome you to our website. I am 25 years sober and have worked at Veritas Villa for 16 years. I am a counselor on the men’s clinical team. I presently work with the uniformed officers and union members that served at Ground Zero. I believe that unresolved trauma will ultimately prevent some people from getting sober therefore it needs to be addressed in a safe supportive environment in early recovery. I look forward to seeing you when you come to the Villa! |
