Alcohol and drug abuse programs for Military Vets are central for the mental well-being and overall stability of Veterans of all branches of the armed forces. Because alcohol and drug abuse and other mental health disorders are found at higher than average rates among Veterans, it is important that they get the essential assistance they need because of such high rates of suicide also associated with these disorders among our Vets.
Drug and alcohol abuse programs for Vets in Derby are available through the VA, with services that include programs 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 Vets. Treatment for substance abuse and associated problems among Vets includes individual and group therapy and psychotherapies which can increase an individual's motivation to change. Involvement in other support such as AA and other support groups is recommended. Medications can also be used in some circumstances to help Military Veterans lessen their tobacco, alcohol, and drug use.
Substance abuse programs for Military Vets can be found during the evening and weekend hours, with both outpatient and residential programs available. Programs that are gender-specific and those for homeless Veterans are available in certain areas.
