Drug and alcohol abuse programs for Military Veterans are central for the mental health and overall stability of Vets of all branches of the military. Because substance abuse and other mental health disorders are found at higher than average rates among Veterans, it is important that Veterans get the help they need due to such high rates of suicide also associated with these disorders among Veterans.
Substance abuse facilities for Veterans in Bern 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 addiction disorders among Veterans. Treatment for substance abuse and related problems among Veterans includes psychotherapies and group and individual therapy which can increase a person's motivation to change. Involvement in other support such as AA and other support groups is encouraged. Medications are also available in some circumstances to help Military Vets decrease their tobacco, alcohol, and drug use.
Alcohol and drug abuse programs for Military Veterans can be found during the evening and weekend hours, with both outpatient and residential options available. Facilities which are gender-specific and those for homeless Veterans are available in certain areas.
