Drug and alcohol abuse programs for Veterans are essential 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 disorders are experienced at higher than average rates among Veterans, it is important that Veterans get the essential help they need because of such high rates of suicide also associated with these disorders among our Vets.
Drug and alcohol abuse facilities for Veterans in Oyster are available from the VA, with services that include programs to handle associated problems 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. Treatment for addiction and related problems among Military Vets includes psychotherapies and group and individual therapy which can increase a person's desire to change. Involvement in other support such as AA and other support groups is recommended. Medications are also used in some circumstances to help Military Veterans decrease their drug, alcohol and tobacco use.
Substance abuse facilities for Veterans can be found during the weekend and evening hours, with both residential and outpatient options available. Facilities that are Women-Only or Men-Only and those for homeless Vets are available in certain areas.
