Does WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab - Sarasota have a program for veterans?

Who is WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab - Sarasota for?
They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Sarasota has 8 other centers to try.
Can a program handle a court referral?
Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. What gets reported is attendance and completion, not what you said in a session, unless the order says otherwise. Keep your own dated attendance record alongside whatever the program keeps.
What happens to school?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Read what your own policy says before you tell anybody anything.
