Active members of the military have lower rates of illicit drug use than civilians, but alcohol and prescription drug addiction rates are much higher among active military personnel and these rates are on the rise. Active military members in Ontario can obtain access to quality addiction treatment through their TRICARE military health insurance. There are comprehensive rehab programs that accept TRICARE, and these programs realize the unique challenges that active military personnel and their families face and the specific things which bring about drug and alcohol abuse for active military personnel.
Active members of the military trying to find an adequate program for addiction treatment should consider programs which offer services for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other behavioral health disorders specific to active military members. These types of facilities offer evidence-based treatment curriculums that include cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approaches that abide by the standards set for in the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense treatment guidelines.
