Active military personnel experience lower rates of illicit drug use than civilians, but alcohol and prescription drug addiction rates are significantly higher among active military personnel and these rates are on the rise. Active members of the military in Alma have access to quality addiction treatment through their TRICARE military health insurance. There are comprehensive rehab programs that accept TRICARE, and these programs realize the specific challenges that active military personnel and their loved ones take on and the specific things which bring about drug and alcohol abuse for active military personnel.
Active members of the military in search of an adequate facility for addiction treatment should look at facilities which offer services for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other behavioral health issues that commonly affect members of the military.
