Alcohol and drug abuse programs for Military Veterans are essential for the mental health and overall stability of Vets of all branches of the military. Because drug and alcohol abuse and other mental health problems are found at higher than average rates among Veterans, it is important that Veterans get the help they need because of such high suicide rates also associated with these disorders with our Vets.
Drug and alcohol abuse facilities for Vets in Erie are available through the VA, with included services such as programs to handle associated disorders such as relationship problems, irritability, disturbed sleep, pain, depression, and/or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which most commonly trigger addiction disorders among Veterans. Rehabilitation for substance abuse and associated disorders among Veterans includes individual and group therapy and psychotherapies that can increase a person's desire to change. Involvement in other support such as AA and other support groups is encouraged. Medications are also used in some circumstances to help Veterans lessen their drug, alcohol and tobacco use.
Substance abuse programs for Military Veterans are offered during the weekend and evening hours, with both outpatient and residential programs available. Facilities which are gender-specific and those for homeless Military Vets are available in certain areas.
