1MC 99 Addiction Recovery Program
About
The 1MC 99 Recovery Program is an 18-week, non-residential, intensive mentorship program for veterans seeking assistance with addiction and recovery without the confinement of walls. We focus on the personal and professional goals of the veteran through the creation of individualized recovery plans that helps each veteran create a successful and meaningful path to recovery.
Each veteran collaborates with another veteran and/or small groups who have had similar struggles in an environment of support, mentorship, and leadership to create a personal journey for healing the whole person not just the addiction. We walk each veteran through the realm of trauma recovery, PTS, PTSD, family issues, work and social issues, financial issues, and help them get back on track with their lives. The Staff at the DTOM Veterans Ranch will travel to pick veterans up if they live within a 100-mile radius from the DTOM Ranch. We also work with city and court agencies to ensure weekly reporting as required.
The 1MC 99 Recovery Program Mission Statement: At the DTOM Veterans Ranch, we believe in the mission “never leave a brother or a sister behind.” We believe that it is our responsibility to take care of each other in all walks of life because we understand each other, and it is a part of the oath we took as soldiers when we signed that dotted line. We trained together, we fought together, and now we heal together. The mission of the 1MC 99 Recovery Program is to create intensive, supportive, personal journeys of healing while bringing struggling veterans together to build comradery and support in the mission of addiction recovery.
The 1MC 99 Visionary Statement: It is our mission at the DTOM Veterans Ranch and within the 1MC 99 Recovery Program to not only change the standards of care for struggling veterans and their families, but to create a life-long commitment to an environment of care that supports the whole person, their family, and their personal journeys towards addiction recovery and healing.
Meaning behind the 1MC 99: In the United States Navy, 1MC meant: hot mike on a ship, that the commander was about to give a message. The number 99 means that the message was meant for, and important for all members aboard. “All Hands on Deck” and this has become our approach to working with, and healing military veterans and their families. It takes all of us to heal, and not just relying on a program within a system.

This program is for youth who may need or require inclusive guidance or mentorship due to behavioral concerns or adverse choices. This program consists of 16 fully guided weeks of intensive skill building activities and behavioral modifications. The first 8 weeks focus on the individual youth, then we transition them to group sessions for the last 8 weeks. In week 17 all youth who complete the program will graduate and will then become eligible to participate in the Junior Scouts Scholarship Program.

Parents and/or guardians will also be included in the Building Stronger Families portion of this program to ensure program goals are achieved while sponsoring an environment of support and healing.
