Substance abuse facilities for Vets are essential for the mental health and overall stability of Vets of all branches of the military. Because alcohol and drug abuse and other mental health problems are found at higher than average rates among Vets, it is crucial that Veterans get the essential help they need because of such high suicide rates also associated with these disorders among our Vets.
Substance abuse programs for Veterans in Springfield are available through the VA, with included services such as efforts to address associated disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, pain, disturbed sleep, irritability, and/or relationship problems which most commonly trigger substance abuse disorders among Veterans. Treatment for addiction and related problems among Military Veterans includes individual and group therapy and psychotherapies that can increase an individual's desire to change.
