Substance Abuse Resources for Veterans
The Recovery Village is honored to serve veterans needing high-quality, specialized addiction and mental health support designed around their needs.
Veterans & Addiction Treatment
With over 10% of military personnel grappling with substance use disorders, it’s crucial to address and counteract the stigma surrounding substance use and mental health treatment.
Finding the Right Inpatient Rehab Program for Veterans
Understanding what makes an inpatient rehab good for veterans is the first step in providing adequate care for this population.
What Does Success Look Like in Veteran Substance Abuse Treatment?
Since recovery is a personal journey, success will be as well. What success looks like for one veteran may not look the same for another.
Opioid Addiction Treatment for Veterans
Due to the life-threatening danger of opioids, especially synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, it’s crucial that veterans struggling with opioid addiction seek professional treatment.
Substance Abuse Treatment for Self-Medicating Veterans Experiencing Trauma
Veterans are more likely to self-medicate, or use substances to temporarily relieve the memories or feelings associated with traumatic events.
Confidentiality Laws and Regulations for Military Personnel
While a lack of confidentiality may seem invasive and a deterrent for servicemembers to seek treatment, a commander’s involvement in treatment can promote positive outcomes.
Understanding Drug and Alcohol Rehab While in the Military
Active military members aren’t immune to issues related to substance use. However, the factors contributing to substance use among service members are unique.
