What is Veterans Addiction Treatment?

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, America’s veterans are at risk for developing substance use disorders and mental health challenges — at rates much higher than the civilian population. Active duty can be a perfect storm for such issues: Service members are separated from their support systems and daily routines, while being exposed to traumatic events and a culture that often encourages substance use. Zero tolerance policies keep active duty substance abuse to a minimum, but problems often explode when veterans return home. Desperate to soothe painful memories or challenging feelings, they often turn to drugs, alcohol, and other dangerous behaviors to numb their emotions. Soon, many find themselves in the grips of addiction.

Veterans addiction treatment recognizes the unique factors that contribute to substance abuse among our vets. With a trauma-informed approach, we can get to the real cause of the problem and heal it from the inside out — proceeding every step of the way with respect and understanding of what our veterans have gone through. In fact, our Medical Director, Dr. George Cowan, is a veteran himself. 

In veterans addiction treatment, vets can find the compassion and professional care they need to find true freedom at last.
