Substance abuse programs for Veterans are central for the mental health and overall stability of Vets of all branches of the armed forces. Because alcohol and drug abuse and other mental health problems are experienced at above average rates among Veterans, it is important that Veterans get the help they need because of such high rates of suicide also associated with these disorders among Veterans.
Substance abuse facilities for Veterans in Richmond are available through the VA, with services that include programs to handle associated disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, pain, disturbed sleep, irritability, and/or relationship problems which most commonly trigger substance abuse disorders among Vets. Rehabilitation for substance abuse and associated problems among Veterans includes psychotherapies and group and individual therapy which can increase an individual's motivation to change. Involvement in other support such as AA and other support groups is recommended. Medications can also be used in some circumstances to help Military Vets decrease their drug, alcohol and tobacco use.
Alcohol and drug abuse facilities for Military Veterans are offered during the weekend and evening hours, with both outpatient and residential programs available. Programs that are gender-specific and those for homeless Vets are available in certain areas.
