Veterans have served as the backbone of Alabama and the country as a whole for centuries, fighting to protect our freedoms and ensuring our national safety. As a result, many veterans have seen and experienced significant trauma as well as facing stressors that make it difficult to cope. Emotional support and recovery options for veterans are important ways to give back and show appreciation for their sacrifices and hard work.
Drug and alcohol abuse is a national concern, but substance use among the veteran population is epidemic. Alcohol and opioids in particular impact veterans at a staggering rate. The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that 1 in 10 veterans treated at the VA after returning from Iraq and Afghanistan face problems with alcohol or other drugs. There is a strong correlation between substance use disorder (SUD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans. Approximately 1 in 3 soldiers seeking treatment for SUD have co-occurring PTSD. Binge drinking is a common issue for veterans with PTSD and SUD.
There are many reasons that veterans may suffer with substance abuse, including difficulty transitioning back into civilian life, emotional and mental health struggles, and chronic pain.
After deployment, adjusting to civilian life in the United States can be a tremendously difficult process. And while some veterans sustain only minor physical and psychological wounds from combat, others aren't as lucky. Thousands are diagnosed with PTSD, a debilitating mental health condition caused by the traumatic events experienced in wartime. Often, struggling veterans will turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate, inadvertently worsening their PTSD symptoms.
PTSD and substance use are two of the most pressing issues impacting veterans. If left unaddressed, PTSD and substance abuse in veterans can be deadly. Reaching out to others for help isn't a sign of weakness - it's proof of strength. With the right care, veterans can get to the roots of their addiction, work through PTSD and go on to lead peaceful, fulfilling lives.
While nearly anyone can suffer from PTSD, veterans are more likely to develop the condition than the general population. Military life exposes soldiers to frequent deadly - and thus potentially traumatic - situations, leaving them at an increased risk of physical injury and the invisible wounds of PTSD. Military sexual assault also contributes to high veteran PTSD rates, particularly in female members. Twenty-three out of every 100 women who use VA care experienced a sexual assault while in the military.
The anxiety and flashbacks characteristic of PTSD can be emotionally and physically debilitating. It isn't a surprise that many struggling with the condition turn to drugs and alcohol as a way to numb their pain. Unfortunately, veterans with PTSD are no exception to this trend. In response to the relentless symptoms of PTSD, many consume alcohol and prescription drugs to cope. For veterans injured physically during combat, the risk of substance abuse is even higher. What starts off as a pain pill prescription for an injury can quickly escalate to full-blown dependence and addiction, particularly when PTSD is present.
If you are a veteran who is unfortunately hooked on drugs or know such a person, getting professional help at one of the many centers in Alabama is the best way forward.
