Frequently Asked Questions

Due to our relatively small size, we provide tailored, individualized treatment in an intimate, family-like setting. We maintain a maximum ratio of just six Veterans for every clinician here, often less than that. Our clinical team stays in close contact with our VA partners with updates and care coordination. We also stay connected to our patients after they leave as well, delivering long-term impact. We are large enough to have all the resources for success, yet small enough to provide a personal experience.

These treatment levels are clinically managed and medically monitored at the Miramar facilities.
