Alcohol and drug abuse facilities for Military Veterans are crucial 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 above average rates among Vets, it is important that Veterans get the essential assistance they need due to such high suicide rates also associated with these disorders with our Vets.
Drug and alcohol abuse programs for Veterans in Meraux are available through the VA, with included services such as efforts to address 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 Vets. Rehabilitation for substance abuse and associated disorders among Vets includes individual and group therapy and psychotherapies that can increase an individual's desire to change. Involvement in outside support such as AA and other support groups is encouraged. Medications are also available in some circumstances to help Military Veterans decrease their drug, alcohol and tobacco use.
Substance abuse programs for Veterans are offered during the evening and weekend hours, with both residential and outpatient options available. Programs that are Women-Only or Men-Only and those for homeless Vets are available in certain areas.
