Alcohol and drug abuse programs for Military Veterans are crucial for the mental health and overall stability of Veterans of all branches of the armed forces. Because substance abuse and other mental health disorders are experienced at higher than average rates among Vets, it is crucial that Veterans get the help they need because of such high rates of suicide also associated with these disorders among Veterans.
Alcohol and drug abuse programs for Vets in Norway 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 substance abuse disorders among Veterans. Rehabilitation for substance abuse and related problems among Veterans includes individual and group therapy and psychotherapies which can increase a person's motivation to change. Involvement in outside support such as AA and other support groups is recommended. Medications can also be available in some instances to help Military Vets lessen their tobacco, alcohol, and drug use.
