Substance abuse facilities for Military Veterans are crucial for the mental health and overall stability of Vets of all branches of the armed forces. Because drug and alcohol abuse and other mental health problems are experienced at above average rates among Veterans, it is important that they get the help they need because of such high suicide rates also associated with these disorders among our Vets.
