You served with discipline, strength, and sacrifice. When substance use becomes part of the weight you’re carrying — whether from pain, transition, trauma, or something else entirely — you deserve care that understands that weight without asking you to explain it.
Renewal Springs is veteran owned and operated, with veterans on our clinical team, and a detox program built around the dignity every service member deserves.
Many veterans find that the hardest part of seeking help isn’t the decision itself; it’s finding a place where they don’t have to spend the first hour justifying their experience. Where the people across the table have some version of the same story. Where the culture of the room doesn’t require them to translate.
Renewal Springs was built with that in mind. Our facility is veteran owned and operated. Veterans are present on our clinical and support staff every day — not as a program feature, but as part of who we are.
When you walk through our doors, you’re walking into a place where your service is known and respected, and where the care you receive is shaped by people who understand what you’ve been through.
If substance use has become part of your life after service — whether it crept in gradually or arrived with a specific event — we are here. No judgment about how it happened. No lecture about willpower. Just medically safe, compassionate, individualized care, delivered by a team that is genuinely on your side.
Substance use among veterans is more common than most people outside the military community understand, and less talked about than it should be.
The reasons are as varied, as the people who serve often struggle with:
None of these are weaknesses. They are the consequences of doing an extraordinarily hard job under conditions most people will never fully understand. And they are all reasons why the right treatment — one that actually understands the veteran experience — makes a real difference in outcomes.
Seeking detox is not giving up. For most veterans, it’s one of the hardest and most courageous things they’ve ever done — harder, in many ways, than what they faced in uniform. We take that seriously.
Safe, continuous medical monitoring from licensed nursing and clinical staff throughout the withdrawal process. Your vitals are tracked. Your symptoms are managed with evidence-based medication protocols.
You are never alone during the hardest hours of early detox.
Where clinically appropriate, we use FDA-approved medications to reduce the severity of withdrawal, manage cravings, and support neurological stabilization.
For veterans managing opioid dependence — including prescription opioids used for service-related pain — MAT is an evidence-based tool that significantly improves comfort and safety during detox.
Military service frequently involves exposure to trauma: combat, loss, moral injury, or the accumulated stress of sustained high-stakes environments.
Our clinical team is trained in trauma-informed care, which means every interaction is shaped by awareness of how trauma affects the nervous system, communication, and trust. We don’t push. We don’t retraumatize. We meet you where you are.
Substance use and mental health conditions frequently co-occur in the veteran population, particularly PTSD, depression, anxiety, and TBI-related symptoms.
Renewal Springs is a co-occurring disorder facility. We assess and address mental health alongside substance use from the first day — not after you’ve stabilized, not in a separate referral. Together, from the start.
One-on-one clinical sessions with your assigned therapist using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, trauma-focused care, and person-centered approaches.
Your therapist is consistent throughout your stay — you’re not rotated between providers or handed off between departments.
Veterans are present on our clinical and support staff every day. That’s not a program talking point; it’s part of how Renewal Springs operates.
For many clients, knowing that the people in the room have worn the uniform changes the character of the therapeutic relationship in ways that matter.
Everything — your inquiry, your admission, your treatment, your discharge — is fully confidential and HIPAA-protected.
Contacting us does not trigger any notification to the VA, the military, employers, or family members without your explicit consent. Your privacy is protected throughout.
The same forces that drive substance use in the veteran population — chronic stress, exposure to trauma, a culture that discourages help-seeking, physical pain from demanding work — are present for first responders as well.
Firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, and EMTs experience some of the highest rates of substance use disorder and mental health challenges of any occupational group.
Renewal Springs welcomes first responders. Our trauma-informed approach, our dual diagnosis capability, and our culture of non-judgment make us a strong fit for anyone who has spent years absorbing what others can’t.
If you’re a first responder and you’re not sure whether this is the right place for you, call us. Our admissions team will give you a straight answer.
Coverage for veterans seeking addiction treatment can be more complex to navigate than standard commercial insurance, and we know that.
Our admissions team has experience working with veterans and their families to identify every available pathway before concluding there isn’t one.
Renewal Springs accepts Tricare East coverage administered through Humana. If you carry Tricare East, our admissions team will verify your specific benefits, explain your coverage clearly, and walk you through what out-of-pocket responsibility, if any, looks like before you make any decision.
For veterans who may have VA benefits applicable to substance use treatment, our admissions team can help you explore coverage options and coordinate with the VA as applicable.
The process varies depending on your VA status, discharge type, and specific benefit eligibility — our team will help you understand what’s available.
In addition to Tricare, we accept most major private commercial insurance plans. If you carry coverage through a civilian employer or private plan, our team verifies those benefits as well.
We work with:
There’s a difference between a facility that says it welcomes veterans and one that is built by them.
Renewal Springs is veteran owned and operated, with veterans present on our team daily. That ownership shapes the culture of the facility in ways that go beyond policy — it shows up in how people are greeted, how clinical decisions are made, and how the environment feels.
Renewal Springs was designed to feel warm and calm — not institutional, not clinical in the way that feels cold. Clean, thoughtfully put together, home-like. It’s a place where you can focus entirely on getting well without the added stress of an uncomfortable or impersonal environment.
We do not treat the path that led you to our door as a moral failure. We treat it as a health challenge — complex, understandable given what you’ve been through, and entirely treatable with the right support.
Our staff has been on both sides of this. They know.
Located at 701 N. Council in Oklahoma City, Renewal Springs is centrally accessible to veterans across the OKC metro and throughout the state. For veterans traveling from rural Oklahoma or other parts of the state, our admissions team can help with logistics.
Yes. Your treatment at Renewal Springs is fully confidential and HIPAA-protected. We do not share any information with the VA, the Department of Defense, or any branch of the military without your explicit written consent.
Seeking treatment here does not affect your military record, your security clearance status, or your VA benefit eligibility.
Yes. We accept Tricare East coverage administered through Humana. Our admissions team verifies your specific Tricare benefits quickly and explains exactly what’s covered before you make any decision. For Tricare West or other Tricare variants, call us to discuss — coverage pathways vary.
Potentially, depending on your VA eligibility status, discharge type, and the specific benefit you’re exploring. Our admissions team has experience helping veterans navigate VA benefit options and can assist you in determining what may be available and how to access it.
Call us and we’ll work through it together.
Yes. Renewal Springs is a co-occurring disorder facility. PTSD and substance use disorder are treated simultaneously as part of an integrated clinical plan — not sequentially, not in separate referrals. Our clinical team is trauma-informed throughout, and trauma-focused therapy is available as a core component of treatment for veterans who need it.
If you’re asking that question, it’s worth a call. Many veterans minimize how much they’re struggling; it’s part of the culture. Our admissions team will have an honest conversation with you about what you’re experiencing and give you a straightforward assessment of whether detox is clinically indicated.
We won’t talk you into something you don’t need, and we won’t talk you out of something you do.
Veterans are present in our program and on our staff regularly.
We don’t operate a segregated veterans-only unit, but the culture of the facility — built by veterans and staffed in part by veterans — means the environment is one that many service members find more comfortable and relatable than a standard civilian treatment setting.
Before you leave Renewal Springs, your clinical team builds a discharge plan with you — including step-down care options through our sister facility, outpatient resources, VA-connected services where applicable, and community recovery support.
Many veterans benefit from continued clinical programming after detox. You will not leave without a clear, realistic path forward.
Yes. Spouses, parents, and other family members call our admissions team regularly to gather information, understand options, and prepare. Everything shared with us is confidential.
We’ll walk your family through the process and help them understand how to support you effectively.
What you’ve carried deserves real care — not a generic program, not a place that checks a box.
Renewal Springs is veteran owned, veteran operated, and built around the understanding that the people who come to us from military service have earned something better than average.
Our admissions team is available now. One call, to people who already understand what you’ve been through.
