A message from our Medical Director and United States Air Force Lt Col (ret) Roderick W. Fontenette MD, MHCM, CPE, FACEP, FCCM:

"Providing addiction medicine services to those that have sacrificed so much for our country is something we take pride in here at Pura Vida. As an Air Force Veteran, I am well aware of the many stressors facing our veterans and how substance use disorders directly contribute to poor health, mental health conditions, and result in higher suicide rates among those that once served. As a multifaceted organization that provides services ranging from sub-acute detoxification to transitional housing referrals, we stand ready to assist them on their journey to recovery."
