Alcohol Rehab Treatment Programs for Army Veterans

Veterans are around 6% more likely to use alcohol than civilians. And for veterans who make it to rehab, about 65% report alcohol as the substance they misuse — nearly double the rate of the general population. When you choose The Recovery Village’s Army veteran alcohol rehab, we’ll address all the veteran-specific issues that may cause you to drink.

In many cases, mental health disorders lead to alcohol use disorder in Army veterans. It can particularly be a problem for combat veterans who’ve fought on the front lines and have haunting PTSD flashbacks. We know that every Army servicemember has had unique experiences whether or not they’ve seen combat, so we do our best to approach each case through a case-by-case lens.

Drug Rehab Treatment Programs for Army Veterans

Using drugs is a way to self-medicate to forget about your traumatizing Army experiences. Or, maybe you’ve been addicted to prescription painkillers after a lingering injury on the battlefield. Whatever the case, The Recovery Village proudly offers Army veteran drug rehab centers focused solely on the hurdles faced by veterans.

Research estimates that 45% of Army suicide attempts since 2003 involved alcohol or drug use. It’s common for Army veterans to experience disorders like depression or PTSD hand in hand with substance use. This is known as a co-occurring disorder, and we offer specific veteran dual-diagnosis treatment plans so you can fight both conditions at once.

Drug & Alcohol Rehab for Active Army Military Personnel

Out of all the military branches, prescription drug use is highest among people actively serving in the Army. You may have started by taking a legitimate prescription for a training injury, only to find it impossible to wean off. Alcohol use is also an issue — maybe you’re drinking because you’re lonely at base or are regretting the military life.

Whatever the situation, The Recovery Village has specific programs available for active-duty Army personnel. Our programs can treat any co-occurring mental health conditions contributing to your substance use, such as depression, anxiety or PTSD. Our caring staff will help you work through your issues so you can return to being the soldier you were meant to be.

Inpatient Residential Rehab for Army Members and Their Families

Our inpatient Army veteran rehab programs typically last 30 to 90 days and require you to live at one of our centers. We recommend a long-term residential treatment plan for most of our veterans to give them time to alter their behaviors and develop healthier habits.

Breaking away from addiction can take a while. Inpatient treatment lets you work one-on-one with therapists to identify new ways to cope with negative thoughts. You’ll also join group therapy sessions with other veterans who know exactly what you’re going through. This makes it easier for you to open up, and you may receive some unique insights from others who have already walked your path.

Inpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab for Army Family Members

Sometimes, being a family member of an Army veteran can be challenging. Being separated from your loved one while they were deployed or helping them with their personal battles can lead you down the dark path of addiction. That’s why we also offer inpatient alcohol and drug rehab for family members of Army personnel.

You’re not alone in your struggle, and in inpatient rehab, you’ll get to share with others in your same boat. In your group therapy sessions, you can talk with other veteran family members about the struggles of welcoming home a loved one from the Army. You’ll get the help you need to overcome your addiction and return to normal life.

VA Benefits, Health Insurance and Financial Assistance for Army Veterans

After what you’ve sacrificed for your country, you shouldn’t worry about paying for Army veteran rehab programs. Thankfully, the VA agrees, so it covers alcohol and substance use treatment. You can use your VA benefits at any VA-approved rehab center — including The Recovery Village. You won’t have any out-of-pocket costs, giving you peace of mind to focus solely on getting better.

You can also use traditional insurance to receive addiction treatment. Thanks to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, insurance providers have to offer the same coverage for mental health and substance use benefits as they do for medical and surgical benefits. As long as The Recovery Village is in-network with your insurance company, your treatment should be covered.
