The Salem Domiciliary has two residential rehabilitation treatment programs where Veterans unite to heal as a community. When a Veteran enters the program, they are placed in one of the two


programs as a “home base,” but may attend some programming offered by both programs. Some Veterans may move from one program to the other during their stay in the Domiciliary based on their


clinical needs and bed availability, with approval of the domiciliary staff.
