American Addiction Centers Names Greenhouse Treatment Center a Veterans Center of Excellence
20 Mayo 2024 - 8:50AM
American Addiction Centers (AAC) has recognized Greenhouse
Treatment Center as a Veterans Center of Excellence, highlighting
its commitment to providing high-quality, Veterans-focused care.
With over 18 million Veterans in the United States, AAC aims to
ensure that these heroes have access to top-notch treatment
centers. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more
than one in ten Veterans have been diagnosed with a substance use
disorder, slightly higher than the general population. Deployment
often leads to unhealthy drinking and drug use among Veterans. To
address this issue, AAC launched the initiative to identify its
centers that excel in Veterans' addiction treatment.
Greenhouse achieved this distinction due to its long standing
connection with local Veterans Affairs as a community partner and
its dedication to evidence-based, trauma-informed care. The center
has appointed a specialized Veterans care team composed of Veterans
themselves, ensuring a deep understanding of the unique needs and
culture of these individuals. Additionally, Greenhouse Treatment
Center is committed to advanced certification of its staff in
Veterans care services, a rarity among healthcare providers. In
addition, Greenhouse Treatment Center has Master's level clinicians
and bilingual staff. The treatment center is also one of the only
in the state to offer Acudetox, a special acupuncture therapy for
addiction treatment that also helps Veterans overcome PTSD.
“We understand the unique challenges that veterans face when
seeking treatment for addiction and consider it a privilege to
serve those who have served our country,” says Shae Dorsey,
Executive Director of Greenhouse Treatment Center. “It takes
courage for them to seek help, and that's why this recognition is
so important because it lets our Veterans know they have a place
they can trust for high-quality care to regroup, recover and
redeploy.”
As a Veterans Center of Excellence, Greenhouse Treatment Center
offers AAC's new program, The Rally Point: AAC.
This program utilizes a proprietary curriculum that addresses
mental health and trauma, empowering Veterans through a
mission-focused mindset approach with strength-based therapy and
positive psychology. Veterans also benefit from concierge services
for care coordination.

The center provides Veterans-only groups weekly. In addition to
its specialized veterans treatment, Greenhouse Treatment Center
offers a wide range of evidence-based therapies, including
Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy,
Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy. The center also provides specialty group
services and experiential therapies such as Tuina, biosound, guided
meditation, anger management classes, yoga, art therapy, and PTSD
education.
Esther Ontiveros-Flores, one of the experienced therapists who
oversees the program, highlighted the center's focus on addressing
co-occurring mental conditions commonly found in the veteran
population. "At Greenhouse, we prioritize treating not only
addiction but also co-occurring mental health conditions such as
depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and personality
disorders. Our comprehensive approach ensures that veterans receive
the holistic care they deserve to achieve long-term recovery,"
Ontiveros-Flores stated.
