this country. Many came home carrying pain we can't see — physical, mental, and chemical.
The numbers tell the story:
• Nearly **half (46%) of combat-wounded veterans** report misusing prescription opioids in the past year.
• **Up to 60%** of veterans with PTSD also live with a substance use disorder.
• Only about **1 in 3 veterans** treated for opioid use disorder at the VA receives the medication that works best.
That gap is where lives are lost — and it's where community clinics like ours step in. Methadone treatment is proven to cut overdose death roughly in half. It works for veterans. It works for service members. It works for their families.
If you served — or you love someone who did — we honor that service by helping you live it fully. We're not the VA. We don't need a referral. **Walk-ins welcome.**
