Some who struggle with PTSD, depression, or other mental health conditions may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with those issues. Others may establish a habit of heavy drinking or drug use while on active duty that carries into their civilian life. Each person\u2019s substance use stems from unique individual factors, which is why treatment programs include behavioral therapies to address co-occurring mental health disorders, as well as coping mechanisms to help the patient successfully overcome cravings and sidestep any triggers.<\/p>\n<p>\n"}</script></div><div class='portal_accordion' id='portal_accordion-2'><script crossorigin type='application/json'>{"props":{"title":"Does the VA offer rehab?"},"children":"<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Does the VA offer rehab?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Veterans can receive treatment for drug or alcohol addiction through the VA directly or through a VA Community Care partner, depending on their healthcare needs and circumstances.

While the VA is committed to providing certain services for free, others may require a copay.

Once a veteran has decided to go to rehab, they\u2019ll first need to go to their local VA center for a mental health consult and wait for confirmation that they are eligible for rehab treatment coverage. Once they are confirmed to be eligible, there is insurance documentation that needs to be completed and sent for billing, and from there the rehab center manages the admissions process.<\/p>\n<p>\n"}</script></div><div class='portal_accordion' id='portal_accordion-6'><script crossorigin type='application/json'>{"props":{"title":"What are the common addictive medications prescribed to Veterans?

Unfortunately, many of the medications prescribed for these conditions can lead to physical and psychological dependence, ultimately adding addiction to the list of conditions the veteran faces. Opioid painkillers are widely recognized to be addictive substances, but other medicines like benzodiazepines (Xanax) that are commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of anxiety are also highly addictive despite their lower media profile. Overall, it\u2019s important that Veterans take their medications exactly as prescribed by their doctor, and to reach out for help as soon as they suspect they may have a problem.<\/p>\n<p>\n"}</script></div><div class='portal_accordion' id='portal_accordion-7'><script crossorigin type='application/json'>{"props":{"title":"What\u2019s the correlation between PTSD and drug or alcohol addiction?

Symptoms can range from nightmares and unpleasant memories, to flashbacks, panic attacks, insomnia, and extremely heightened reactions to everyday stimuli. Without early medical intervention, people with PTSD may turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with the symptoms they experience. Over time this pattern can lead to substance use disorder and require treatment at a drug or alcohol rehab facility that can also address the PTSD that led to the patient\u2019s addiction in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\n"}</script></div></p>
