About Miramar Health
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.
