Substance abuse programs for Veterans are central for the mental well-being and overall stability of Veterans of all branches of the armed forces. Because drug and alcohol abuse and other mental health disorders are experienced at higher than average rates among Vets, it is important that Veterans get the essential assistance they need due to such high suicide rates also associated with these disorders with Veterans.
Alcohol and drug abuse facilities for Veterans in North Star are available through the VA, with services that include programs to handle associated problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, pain, disturbed sleep, irritability, and/or relationship problems which most commonly trigger substance abuse disorders among Vets. Treatment for substance abuse and associated disorders among Veterans includes psychotherapies and group and individual therapy that can increase an individual's desire to change. Involvement in outside support such as AA and other support groups is recommended. Medications can also be available in some circumstances to help Military Veterans decrease their tobacco, alcohol, and drug use.
