DEC Camp Legacy is a short term Primary Integrated Health Camp specializing in SUD-Cooccurring Disorders, PTSD, and Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facility. This facility is designed as a working ranch to cater to the needs of males/females United States Active-Duty Armed Forces, retired Veterans, and the underserved members of Wayne County who are dealing with drug/alcohol addiction/mental health, employment and homelessness issues.
All US Military persons, Returning Citizens, and persons Recovering from AOD, SUD and Co-occurring Disorders, returning home are at a higher risk of suicide than all other persons. Education, Behavioral and mental health treatment are essential to saving our service members and recovering persons lives. These are your neighbors, friends, co-workers, community members and they need YOU.
There can be no excuse for our US Veterans, and Mental Health Community to be suffering or homeless. People like you can help make a difference not only for those that will benefit directly from you and your support, but you will also be helping so many others that are connected to those you help.
