Helping San Diego Veterans Find What They Need

We are here to help Veterans, First Responders, and their Families transition from active duty to being stable and healthy members of the society they have served so nobly.

Many Veterans will tell you they don't have the necessary resources to transition from active duty to civilian life successfully.

Based in the San Diego area, The Veterans Navigation Center connects Veterans to expert case managers familiar with the complex landscape of Veteran benefits who assist in obtaining resources.

Your case manager  will help you set goals and create a plan to get the support you need. We will refer you to the many partners in our support system, and then follow up with you to make sure you are successfully receiving the support you need.

A "One Stop Shop" to Help San Diego Veterans and their Families

Our goal is to help every Veteran thrive, live a successful civilian life, and achieve their personal, professional, and family goals by navigating their access to benefits and services and removing any barriers they may have encountered during or after military service or in early transition.

The VNC helps Veterans identify and access benefits and services available to them and works to remove any barriers to success they may have encountered during or after military service or early transition.

Confidential Recovery in San Diego is able to directly accept TRICARE insurance to provide drug & alcohol rehabilitation services to our nation's active-duty military (and their families). As Operations Manager Jay Wylie said in the press release, “Access to treatment and stigma around treatment are two of the major barriers facing active service members, and by accepting TRICARE directly, we are able to help overcome both barriers.” Jay is a veteran-in-recovery who served in the Navy for 22 years, and is one of the founders of the Veterans Navigation Center. When a service-member contacts Confidential Recovery directly for treatment, their privacy is protected by HIPAA laws, and they do not have to disclose their drug treatment to the military. Read the press release on AP News here: https://bit.ly/3Et4IDl and if you know someone who wants to start the process they can do so on Confidential Recovery's website here: https://bit.ly/40Qu6Md.
