Alcohol and drug abuse programs for Military Veterans are essential for the mental health and overall stability of Veterans of all branches of the military. Because substance abuse and other mental health disorders are experienced at above average rates among Vets, it is important that Veterans get the essential help they need because of such high suicide rates also associated with these disorders with Veterans.
Substance abuse programs for Veterans in Sixes are available from the VA, with services that include efforts to handle 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. Rehabilitation for substance abuse and related problems among Military Vets includes psychotherapies and group and individual therapy which can increase an individual's desire to change. Involvement in other support such as AA and other support groups is encouraged. Medications are also used in some instances to help Military Vets lessen their tobacco, alcohol, and drug use.
Drug and alcohol abuse facilities for Vets can be found during the evening and weekend hours, with both residential and outpatient options available. Facilities that are Women-Only or Men-Only and those for homeless Military Vets are available in certain areas.
