🎖 Veterans: Help is closer than you think.

If you’re struggling with alcohol or substance use, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Veteran Philip Van Guilder, our Director of Community Affairs, explains how simple it can be to get support through the VA and how Desert Hope and other AAC facilities, including Greenhouse, Recovery First, Laguna, and Oxford Treatment Centers, are all VA-approved and
ready to help.

💡 Here’s the first step:
1️⃣ Walk into your local VA and identify yourself as a Veteran.
2️⃣ They’ll help access your military records and set up a
counseling assessment.
3️⃣ From there, you can choose the level of care you need—inpatient, outpatient, or residential—in-network with the VA.

If you prefer a non-VA facility, mention one of our centers, and the VA can authorize care there.

You’ve served your country, now let someone serve you. Recovery is possible, and help is here. 💛

💸 Think treatment is too expensive? Think again.

Ari Chelli, Clinical Director at Desert Hope, sets the record straight: Most treatment is covered by insurance, Medicaid, or available through scholarships. Private pay still exists, but the days of treatment being a “luxury only” are long gone.

The idea that recovery is “too expensive” is just another excuse, and the truth is, there are multiple ways to get help without breaking the bank.

Recovery is for everyone, and your health and future are worth it. 💛

🍽️ Food, Cravings, and Recovery: What’s Really Happening

Patients often love simple, wholesome meals—like grilled fish with rice and veggies—more than anything fancy.

But early in recovery, cravings are real. 🍫 The detox process can make your brain crave sugar, because it’s trying to “light up” that pleasure center. That’s completely normal, and it’s something we help you navigate safely.

Recovery means learning to care for both your mind and body, one meal at a time. 💛

⛰️ Recovery Isn’t a Destination; It’s a Journey

Everyone wants the finish line.
Everyone wants “better” to happen tomorrow.
But recovery happens in the moments in between, in the tiny choices, the setbacks, the support, the growth.

Mike Diamond calls it “destination disease” when you focus so much on the end goal that you miss the process that actually changes you.

Because the real transformation isn’t just reaching the mountain top; it’s who you become on the way up. 💛

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, you don’t have to climb that mountain alone. There is help. There is support. There is hope.

🌟 “Redemption isn’t the end of the story; it’s the beginning.”

Desert Hope alum Jamison “The Redeemed” Cooper shares what recovery really looks like after treatment, not just the highlight reel, but the daily choices that keep him grounded, present, and fighting for his future.

Recovery didn’t make life easy.
It made life possible.

Jamison talks about:
💛 remembering who’s watching
💛 staying away from old patterns
💛 rebuilding from the foundation up
💛 patching the cracks before they spread
💛 protecting what he worked so hard to earn
💛 choosing his children over chaos

Now a professional fighter and documentary subject, Jamison says the stakes are higher than ever and so is his commitment to staying sober.

Because recovery isn’t about avoiding the past…
It’s about choosing the future, over and over again.

➡️ Watch his story, then share it to remind someone that recovery is real.
➡️ Follow us for more stories of hope, growth, and second chances.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you’re not alone, and it’s never too late to rewrite the story.

Recovery has a face. Actually, it has many.
Every person in this collage is a real American Addiction Centers alum. Some of them are Desert Hope alumni. They came from different places, with different stories and different struggles, but in treatment, they found:

People who understood.
People who didn’t judge.
People who became community.

At Desert Hope Treatment Center (and across AAC), we’ve seen how powerful connection is in recovery. When you find your people, recovery stops feeling impossible because, finally, you're with people just like YOU. That kind of connection is here, and it’s real.

Wherever you are in your recovery journey, there’s space for you.

🚫 Myth Buster: “Only weak people need treatment.”

Let’s talk about that for a second.

When someone with diabetes needs medical care, no one calls them weak. No one says they just need to “tough it out.” No one tells them they chose the donut, so they don’t deserve treatment.

Addiction is also a disease.
Treatment isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a step toward getting better.

As Desert Hope’s Clinical Director, Ari Chelli, explains, “Treatment is a vital part of the recovery process for most people. It has nothing to do with weakness.”

The truth?
💛 Asking for help takes strength.
💛 Doing the work takes courage.
💛 Recovery takes support, not shame.

If someone you love is struggling, remind them that needing care doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

✨ Sobriety Isn't the Only Benefit; It's Just the Beginning

When people think of recovery, they often focus on stopping the substance.
But recovery creates change in places most people don’t expect—mentally, physically, emotionally, and relationally.

The benefits can look like:
💛 clearer thinking
💛 healthier relationships
💛 better sleep & mood regulation
💛 emotional resilience
💛 boundaries that protect peace
💛 self-trust
💛 purpose and community
💛 personal growth

For many people, these are the changes that make life feel full again.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, know that recovery isn’t just about removing something; it’s about rebuilding what was missing.

✨ Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ✨

Dr. King reminded us that dignity, justice, and compassion are responsibilities we share.

Today, stigma still makes it hard for many to speak openly about mental health and substance use. Silence shouldn’t be the price of struggle.

At Desert Hope Treatment Center, we believe in meeting people with empathy and compassion right where they are because that’s where healing begins.

This is how we strive to honor Dr. King’s legacy today and every day.

Nutrition Matters in Recovery And So Does Individual Care

Meet Lacy, our Registered Dietitian at Desert Hope.
For many patients, nutrition isn’t just about preference; it’s about medical stability, energy, and healing.

From diabetes to allergies to vegetarian or vegan diets, our culinary team works closely with Lacy to ensure patients are supported and accommodated. Meals are thoughtfully designed with balanced carbohydrates and protein, and most dietary needs can be met without complication.

At Desert Hope, we regularly accommodate:
✔ Diabetes & carb-modified diets
✔ Gluten-free & celiac needs
✔ Seafood & common allergens
✔ Vegan & vegetarian preferences
✔ Lower-carb and specialty medical diets

Recovery is whole-person care—medical, emotional, and physical.
Nutrition is a key part of that journey.

Most people think recovery is all action. But your brain doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined.

Mike Diamond, who has nearly 20 years in recovery, shares a study that proves it.
Basketball players were split into 3 groups:
🏀 One practiced free throws daily
🎮 One just played around
🧠 One only visualized shooting; no practice at all

30 days later:
✔ The practice group improved ~30%
❌ The second group didn’t improve
🚀 The visualization group improved 23% without touching a basketball

Here’s why this matters in recovery:
When you picture yourself doing well…
When you picture yourself sober…
When you picture yourself healing…
Your brain starts preparing for it.

“If you visualize yourself being successful in recovery, and take the right actions, you can’t fail,” Mike explains.

Visualization doesn’t replace work.
It supports it.

👇 In the comments:
Have you ever visualized your goals (in recovery, sports, or life)?
Did it help?

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, you’re not alone. Recovery is possible, and help exists.

“Treatment worked for me. But when I left, I struggled… until everything crashed in at once.”

For Jamison, a Desert Hope alum, addiction didn’t end in treatment. It ended when he confronted himself.

“Bro, YOU are the problem. Yes, your trauma is the problem… but the trauma is YOU. You can’t fix the trauma until you fix you,” he says.

And for him, that meant rebuilding his relationship with the Most High. That’s where change started to take root.

10+ years of drug abuse.
Up, down, in-between.
Strung out, lost, stuck.
Then, the pivot.

From someone who never put on a pair of gloves…
to a professional boxer.
“I went from picking up dope to picking up gloves,” he shares.

Recovery transforms who you are and who you’re becoming.

If you’re struggling—or love someone who is—Jamison is proof that your story isn’t finished yet.
