Active members of the military have lower occurrences of illicit drug abuse than civilians, but alcohol and prescription drug addiction rates are much higher among active military personnel and these rates are on the rise. Active members of the military in Dora have access to quality substance abuse treatment through their military health insurance, TRICARE. There are numerous treatment facilities that accept TRICARE, and these programs realize the specific challenges that active military personnel and their loved ones take on and the specific things which bring about substance abuse for active military personnel.
Active members of the military trying to find an adequate program for substance abuse treatment should look at programs which provide services for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other behavioral health issues specific to active military members. These types of programs offer evidence-based treatment curriculums that involve cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approaches that follow the standards set for in the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense treatment guidelines.
