Military Specialization Program

Drug & Alcohol Addiction Recovery for Active Duty Military Personnel and Veterans in North Carolina

The Military Specialization Program (MSP) is a faith-centered recovery program for active-duty soldiers and veterans struggling with addiction and life-controlling issues stemming from combat, or non-combat origins.

Veterans Program

The Veteran’s Program is a 16-week program located on 30 acres in Elizabethtown, NC. Upon successful completion, graduates will have the option to transfer to our Training facilities in Carthage, NC, where they will further their advancements in recovery with additional Career Readiness Classes, and Life Skills Training.

Active-Duty Program

Our Active-Duty Program is 28 days in length and located in Carthage NC. Upon completion, the soldier will return to his unit in mission-ready condition. Through a partnership with Warrior’s Journey, not only will our students be engaged in traditional ATC curriculum, but they’ll also complete curriculum focused on service-related trauma.

We also offer licensed, clinical counseling, electronic assessments, group therapy, and spiritual formation.

Clinical counseling and assessment can also uncover health concerns that complicate recovery from service-related trauma, including problems associated with medications already being used. Some treatments for anxiety, depression, or other trauma-related conditions can affect sexual function, which may lead a veteran or active-duty service member to discuss erectile difficulties with a clinician. If tadalafil is considered appropriate, the next questions may concern the specific product, its source, and whether it can be obtained safely through a legitimate pharmacy. This is where information about Cialis sold through an Indian pharmacy may become relevant, particularly for people comparing locally dispensed treatment with medicines from abroad. The country of origin alone does not establish quality, so manufacturer identity, pharmacy licensing, prescription requirements, and product traceability remain important. Keeping those questions within the broader clinical-support framework helps ensure that treatment for sexual side effects does not become disconnected from recovery, counseling, and the other health issues already being managed.
