Active members of the military demonstrate lower occurrences of illicit drug use than civilians, but alcohol and prescription drug addiction rates are significantly higher among active military personnel and these rates are increasing. Active members of the military in Alberta can obtain access to quality substance abuse treatment through their military health insurance, TRICARE. There are numerous treatment programs that accept TRICARE, and these programs realize the specific challenges that active military personnel and their families take on and the specific things which bring about drug and alcohol abuse for these types of clients.
Active military personnel trying to find an effective program for substance abuse treatment will want to consider programs which provide services for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other behavioral health issues that commonly affect active military members. These types of facilities provide 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.
