Sunrise Clinical Services Launches Veterans Program to Expand Critical Support in New Jersey

Irvington, N.J. — In a move aimed at addressing the growing and often unmet needs of military veterans, Sunrise Clinical Services has announced the launch of a comprehensive Veterans Program designed to provide integrated health, recovery, and support services to those who have served.

The program will officially be introduced at a public event on May 26, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., at the organization’s headquarters located at 22 Ball Street in Irvington, bringing together healthcare professionals, community leaders, nonprofit partners, and veterans across the region.

Framed around the message, “We are honored to serve those who have served,” the initiative reflects a broader effort to close gaps in access to care and long-term support systems for veterans transitioning back into civilian life.

Sunrise Clinical Services, known for its work in behavioral health and substance use treatment, is positioning the program as a multi-layered response to the complex challenges veterans face—ranging from mental health and addiction to employment stability and housing insecurity.

According to the organization, the Veterans Program will offer a wide range of services, including comprehensive behavioral health support, substance use and recovery services, and case management with coordinated care planning. Additional offerings will include primary care navigation, referrals, and access to methadone treatment (MAT) for individuals in need of medication-assisted recovery.

Beyond clinical care, the program extends into preventive health screenings, benefits guidance, and community resource navigation, as well as peer support and reintegration services aimed at helping veterans rebuild stability and connection. The initiative also incorporates employment pathways and family support resources, recognizing that long-term wellness often depends on both economic opportunity and a strong support network.

Organizers say the program was developed with a holistic approach, acknowledging that veterans often require more than just medical treatment—they need coordinated systems that address social, emotional, and economic factors simultaneously.

The launch is being carried out in collaboration with several community and nonprofit partners, including Sunrise Second Chance Foundation, Anvil Forge Impact, Senior Helpers, the New Jersey Coalition of Latino Pastors and Ministers, and Little Box of Love, signaling a cross-sector effort to expand reach and impact.

As veteran populations continue to navigate post-service challenges nationwide, initiatives like this highlight a growing emphasis on localized, community-based solutions. By anchoring services in Irvington and building partnerships across sectors, Sunrise Clinical Services is aiming to create a model that is both scalable and deeply rooted in community needs.

The May 26 event is expected to serve not only as a program launch, but also as a call to action—encouraging stakeholders, advocates, and service providers to strengthen collaboration in support of veterans across New Jersey.
