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.

VNC Founder Scott H. Silverman appeared on KUSI San Diego earlier this week to share the exciting news that his outpatient drug rehab, Confidential Recovery, is now ‘in network ’ with TRICARE (military) insurance, and therefore available to active-duty military in San Diego. Scott was also very excited to add that Confidential Recovery can also help the family members were covered under the TRICARE policy. When asked what kind of challenges military service members face, Scott discussed the stigma of asking for help and reiterated that when it comes to substance dependence, "it's okay to not be okay." Scott encourages people to ask questions and get informed, which they can do by calling Confidential Recovery at (619) 452–1200 for more information, and as Scott says, "if we can't help you with your problem we will send you somewhere that you can get help." Also, when San Diego-based military members contact Confidential Recovery directly, thanks to HIPAA laws, they do not have to reveal to their military superiors about the treatment they are receiving.
