OUR INTEGRATIVE APPROACH

1

You will receive an accurate and individual assessment to share your story before beginning care. 

2

Once your needs are identified, you will be given a chance to begin your healing journey with peer support.

3

You're on your way to better days and begin your journey towards regaining control of your well-being and sense of purpose.

Our Approach 

Avalon's comprehensive approach is vital in transforming lives. Trauma affects every aspect of an individual's life, and each person's experience is unique. Avalon's integrated care model addresses the mind, body, and spirit; ensuring holistic healing while providing personalized support.

" The care I received didn’t just help me understand and start the recovery process. You’re a whole body — a whole person — in this program. They put you on the path to addressing all the issues, not just injuries directly related to the TBI. "

Chief Warrant Officer, Special Operations, U.S. Army, Tulane Center for Brain Health Graduate

Post-traumatic Stress

Avalon’s alliance partner has built programs based on the science of posttraumatic growth. We provide non-clinical training program in a military relevant setting, designed and provided by peers.

" That day in the horse barn where I shared my three guiding principles – purpose, balance, and connection, was a pivotal transition point in my life, refocusing me on what I lost when I left the military. Serving others is my purpose, but I must first focus on ‘struggling well’ and serving myself by focusing on my family, my character, and my beliefs. "

Army Veteran, Warrior PATHH Participant

Post-traumatic Stress & Depression

Veterans and first responders suffering from PTS related symptoms are often isolated and care is limited to symptom-suppressing medication. Avalon’s Alliance of posttraumatic growth programs offer an alternative solution to life-long medication. Our care is based on the science of posttraumatic growth. Non-clinical training is provided by both permanent and mobile teams, and long-term peer networks are leveraged for sustained support.

Substance Abuse

Avalon’s alliance of substance abuse treatment centers provide veterans and first responders the opportunity to regain control of their well-being and sense of purpose in life. The program is tailored to support the individual needs of those who are suffering from substance abuse, dependency, and co-occurring psychological disorders with evidence-based and alternative inpatient or outpatient treatments that heal the body and spirit.

" My career with the US Army was unfortunately cut short due to my own neglect of caring for my body and mind after suffering from a TBI. I went through many years after my discharge blaming others, the military, and my own sense of worth. I am currently in week 3 out of a 42 day substance abuse treatment program. So far, I have learned to manage my emotions and trauma through a series of very helpful clinicians and workshops."
