About Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center
The Army Substance Abuse Program at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center serves active duty military personnel, veterans, and DOD civilians with substance use disorders on Fort Gordon, Georgia. The program offers inpatient residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, and standard outpatient services.
This facility is the largest and most well-established inpatient substance use disorder treatment center in the entire Department of Defense.
Military Focused Substance Abuse Treatment
As the DoD’s largest inpatient treatment facility, the program provides evidence based care in a structured, military focused environment with 24 hour medical supervision. Treatment includes detox services, psychiatric and medical evaluation, psychological testing, and personalized treatment planning.
Service members participate in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and 12-step rehabilitation programs. Sessions address both substance misuse and the operational stressors unique to armed forces personnel with medication assisted treatment options including buprenorphine, Suboxone, and naltrexone.
Dual Diagnosis and Integrated Care
The program treats co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders through coordinated care within the Army medical system. Individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, trauma focused treatment, and skill development groups address underlying issues while preparing service members for return to duty.

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life. |
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction. |
