Provider's Policy

Miramar is a VHA "in-network" Community Care Network provider through TriWest Healthcare Alliance. There are zero out of pocket costs for veterans to receive treatment.

At Miramar Health, veteran wellbeing is prioritized. Whether someone is facing addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, or a mix of it all, they offer a safe space to start over. From detox and residential to sober living and aftercare, they walk alongside each client every step of the way. With a strong focus on early sobriety, they don’t just help veterans get clean—they help them stay that way with built-in tools, structure, and support.

Connect with a Team That’s Walked the Same Path

Founded and run by veterans, Miramar understands the weight of service, the silence around trauma, and the struggles that can follow. That’s why they take a whole-person approach to healing—treating both the mental health challenges and the addiction that often come with them. Miramar gives veterans practical tools they can carry with them long after treatment ends. It's not about quick fixes or masking symptoms—it’s about long-term change, peer connection, and a team that truly gets it.

Settle into a Space that Feels Like Home

Miramar Health is a place that actually feels good to come home to. In a quiet neighborhood surrounded by palm trees and open skies, the home offers warm, comfortable shared living spaces where veterans and active-duty military can relax, connect, and recover without the pressure of a clinical environment. Clients can expect good meals, clean spaces, and a sense of calm that makes it easier to let their guard down and do the work.

Leave with a Plan, Not Just a Goodbye

As clients prepare to transition out of treatment, the team works closely with each individual’s VA caseworker, recognizing that the VA ultimately helps guide what’s next. Whether clients re-enroll with their home VA, connect to mental health or addiction resources back home, or build a strong local support network, Miramar makes sure no one leaves without a plan. And when it aligns with the VA’s direction and the client’s needs, sober living at Miramar can bring a layer of stability and accountability.

Access Care That’s Built for Veterans & Their Families
Access Care That’s Built for Veterans & Their Families
Miramar Health proudly accepts TRICARE and TriWest, making treatment more accessible not only for veterans and active-duty service members, but for military family members who carry the weight in their own way. Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, depression, or addiction, family members deserve the same level of support and healing.
Shift Out of Survival Mode with Trauma-Informed Care
Shift Out of Survival Mode with Trauma-Informed Care
For many veterans, trauma and substance use are tightly linked: the pain leads to self-medicating, and the chaos that follows brings even more harm. With science-backed therapies like eye movement therapy (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), veterans can safely process the past without being overwhelmed by it and build better ways to handle stress.
Move Forward with a Steady Daily Routine
Move Forward with a Steady Daily Routine
At Miramar, days are structured enough to give clients direction, but flexible enough to let them breathe. Mornings start with quiet reflection and a simple routine—meds, breakfast, self-care, and a moment to ground themselves. From there, they move into group work discussing trauma recovery, relapse prevention, and real-life skills to use outside of treatment. Afternoons mix things up with movement. Evenings bring connection through 12-step meetings, in-house panels, and time to check in or simply unwind. Weekends shift the tone with outings and barbecues intended for connection.
Heal among Those Who’ve Worn the Uniform
Heal among Those Who’ve Worn the Uniform
Miramar Health is a veteran-owned and operated center that serves veterans exclusively—creating a space where stigma fades. The team, made up of former service members and top-tier clinicians, understands the challenges veterans face—from combat stress to the weight of civilian transition. Their shared experience breaks down barriers and allows veterans to recover without judgment.
