Veterans Affairs Community Care Network

Seeking treatment for mental health and substance use disorders is particularly critical for veteran service members and for their families.

Rosecrance removes barriers to treatment and combats stigma that surrounds behavioral health disorders so those who served can have the best opportunity for lasting recovery.

We are proud to be an approved provider through the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VA-CCN) to support you and reduce the financial barriers for the lifesaving care Rosecrance provides.

This network links the VA with leading community providers to ensure veterans can receive high-quality care in their communities.

Our physician-led team delivers outcomes-informed residential treatment for veterans at our Rosecrance Harrison Campus in Rockford, Illinois. Specialized programming incorporates occupational factors and traumas into the treatment experience, along with peer support, therapeutic recreation, individual, group, and family counseling, and 12-Step support.

The Rosecrance Jackson Centers residential campus in Sioux City, Iowa, is designed to provide a therapeutic environment that’s conducive to healing. This center for recovery is located on sprawling land near the Missouri River adjacent to wooded acres of parkland. All facilities and grounds are set up to provide safety and comfort, and our compassionate, committed, and experienced clinicians help veterans create a road map that goes beyond initial treatment.

For referring providers, Rosecrance will provide regular updates to you while your patient is in residential care with us, and then your patient will return to your care at discharge.

Supporting Veteran Families

Education, support, and help for veterans’ families are essential components of our programming at Rosecrance.

We emphasize the benefits of including family members in the treatment process and help identify the appropriate people to include. Families are contacted within 24 hours of their loved one’s transfer to residential care and they continue to receive updates on a weekly basis.

Veterans in our care can access weekly virtual visitation sessions with family members to maintain connection, and loved ones are included in family counseling sessions.

As an individual is preparing to leave treatment, they work directly with our discharge planning team who, alongside our clinicians, establish and confirm all aftercare needs.

Experienced Care for Veterans in Iowa

Rosecrance’s program for veterans is clinically driven and supported through trauma-informed care, and recovery-based medical and psychiatric care. While in treatment, veterans engage in individual and group therapy, therapeutic recreational activities, and family programming. Real-life recovery education featuring a powerful lecture series and alumni speakers while veterans are in our care help teach key components of addiction and recovery. Our goal is to provide a plan to live life well.

Spiritual exploration, mindfulness, yoga, and 12-Step programming are integral to what we do, creating a meaningful foundation to sustain wellbeing. Other aspects of residential care include withdrawal management; medication-assisted treatment; family education; treating co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders; creating a clear and actionable discharge plan; and relapse prevention planning. Case managers are available as needed, and unit placement is based on individual needs. We have specialized programs for female veterans who are pregnant or who have children. Women can have their children on-site while in treatment with daycare and support provided.
