Active military personnel demonstrate lower rates of illicit drug abuse than civilians, but alcohol and prescription drug addiction rates are significantly higher among active military personnel and these rates are on the rise. Active military members in Jal have access to quality addiction treatment through their military health insurance, TRICARE. There are comprehensive rehab programs that accept TRICARE, and these facilities understand the specific challenges that active military personnel and their loved ones face and the specific things which trigger drug and alcohol abuse for these types of clients.
Active military personnel looking for an adequate program for addiction rehabilitation will want to look at facilities which provide treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health issues that commonly affect members of the military. These types of programs offer evidence-based recovery curriculums that incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approaches that follow the standards set for in the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense treatment guidelines.
