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