Alcohol and drug abuse programs for Military Vets are crucial 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 disorders are found at higher than 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 with our Vets.
Alcohol and drug abuse programs for Veterans in Merrill are available through the VA, with included services such as efforts to handle associated disorders such as relationship problems, irritability, disturbed sleep, pain, depression, and/or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which most commonly trigger substance abuse disorders among Vets.
