Rise Program at Duffy’s in Northern California

Our evidence-based RISE program is designed specifically for military members, veterans, and first responders who are struggling with substance use concerns and the complex challenges that often accompany trauma. 

At our California campus, our compassionate team provides comprehensive support that addresses all aspects of wellness. By nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, we aim to help service personnel achieve lasting healing.  

Many members of the military and first responder communities often suffer in silence with their struggles due to stigma and the lack of accessible care. At Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, we provide a safe and nurturing environment where service personnel can openly share their experiences and receive the support they deserve.  

Our ultimate goal is to help these courageous individuals overcome addictions and empower them to rediscover their inner strength and reclaim their lives.  

At Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, we offer specialized care to meet the unique needs of those who bravely serve our communities. Whether it’s the challenges of deployment or the demands of front-line duties, service personnel experience highly stressful situations on a daily basis.  

We understand that these stressors can cause some individuals to turn to substances as a way to cope. Additionally, exposure to trauma, a common occurrence among military personnel and first responders, significantly increases their risk for developing trauma-related conditions, such as posttraumatic stress disorder. 

Research in The National Library of Medicine reveals the critical link between military and first responder communities and the prevalence of PTSD. Key findings include: 

• Trauma exposure is the primary cause of posttraumatic stress disorder in these groups.  
• Despite its high prevalence, many individuals within these communities either do not seek help or lack access to proper care.  
• Nearly 80% of those who suffer from PTSD also struggle with symptoms of other mental health concerns, like substance abuse and anxiety.  

These findings highlight the urgent need for comprehensive support within these communities. That’s why we’ve designed our RISE program specifically for military members, veterans, and first responders who are battling substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety.  

Our team of professionals includes licensed therapists, counselors, physicians, and other medical and support staff. In our RISE program, we also have staff members who have direct experience working with members of the service community. This well-rounded expertise allows our guests to receive highly individualized and effective care.  

Within our RISE program, guests explore a variety of topics that are relevant to their unique experiences. These include:  

• Occupational and critical incident stress 
• Line-of-duty trauma 
• Moral injury 
• Military sexual trauma 
• Fitness for duty 
• Stoicism, depersonalization, and derealization 

At our campus in Calistoga, we are committed to providing unwavering support for these brave individuals as they navigate their path to wellness.  

At Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in California, we offer a full range of services to meet our guests’ needs at every stage of their healing journey.  

Each guest who participates in our RISE program receives individualized care that is centered on encouragement, education, and skill-building. We incorporate these elements throughout our various therapies, which include:  

• Individual therapy: In one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist, guests can discuss personal struggles in a safe environment. Each guest receives personalized support so that they can learn how to process their emotions, manage their symptoms, and develop healthy coping skills.  

• Family counseling: We recognize the profound impact addictions and mental health concerns have on both our guests and their loved ones, which is why we offer family therapy. Through education and guidance, our therapists help guests and their families build healthier relationships. 

• Group therapy: At Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, we understand the importance of peer support and encouragement in the healing process. For this reason, group therapy is a key component of our RISE program. We offer group sessions each day of the week, including weekends. Guests benefit from a supportive environment where they can share experiences, build connections, and develop essential life skills. 

Depending on each guest’s unique needs, their care plan may include evidence-based practices, such as: 

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Guests learn how to transform negative thought patterns into positive actions.  

• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): Therapists teach guests practical skills for managing stress and regulating their emotions.  

• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): Therapists guide guests through EMDR so that they can effectively process and heal from the effects of trauma.  

• Seeking Safety: This therapy is specifically designed for guests who are struggling with co-occurring PTSD and substance use concerns. Through Seeking Safety, our therapists help guests achieve stability and security on their path to healing.  

• Mindfulness and meditation: We incorporate mindfulness and meditation practices in our therapy sessions to help guests focus on the present, manage their emotions, and improve their overall well-being.  

Our goal is to provide truly comprehensive care so that each guest has the resources and support they need to heal from addictions and co-occurring mental health conditions. 

At Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, our unwavering commitment to excellence is reflected in every detail of our RISE program. We are proud to offer:

We offer quality lodging, nutritious meals, and ample outdoor spaces, all designed to create the ideal environment for relaxation, reflection, and recovery. 

• Holistic healing: We understand the connected nature of the mind, body, and spirit, which is why we embrace a holistic approach to healing. This involves promoting healthy nutrition and physical exercise and practicing mindfulness and meditation. We strive to nurture every aspect of our guests’ well-being. 

• Individualized support: Our expert team works closely with each guest to create a personalized care plan that is tailored to their individual needs and goals. Throughout their time in our RISE program, guests receive continuous support and guidance so that they can achieve lasting wellness.

Our dedication to providing comprehensive support continues even after guests leave our RISE program. From the moment guests arrive at our campus, we begin planning for their discharge. We aim to help guests transition smoothly to the next phase of their healing journey.
