Many veterans in Connecticut have problems with use of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. This can include use of street drugs as well as using prescription medications in ways they weren't prescribed. Such substance use can harm health, cause mood and behavior problems, hurt social relationships, and cause financial problems. Many people find it difficult to cut down or stop using substances on their own. Effective treatments for substance use problems are available at VA. Available treatments address all types of problems related to substance use, from unhealthy use of alcohol to life-threatening addictions.
As awareness concerning the various unique psychological and psychosocial needs of military veterans grows, rehab centers are there to meet these needs. From anonymous self-screening tools to prevention education and crisis hotlines, they offer a number of free addiction treatment services. Medically managed detoxification, residential care, and outpatient treatment programs are available to veterans with substance use problems.
These centers provide effective, scientifically proven services for all eligible veterans, no matter where they come for services. Rehab service providers know that in many cases substance use problems are continuing conditions that require care over a long period of time. For other veterans, the substance use problems may be resolved more quickly with attention paid to related problems. Such related problems could be posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, pain, disturbed sleep, irritability, and/or relationship problems.
Rehab centers offer a number of options for those seeking treatment for substance use problems. These options include therapy, either alone with the therapist or in a group, as well as medications to help veterans reduce their use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs.
Treatments that do not involve medications involve one or more of the following:
Rehab centers may use medications to treat alcohol dependence. Effective medications can help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce craving, and promote abstinence, which is not drinking any alcohol.
Several medications for stopping tobacco can be effective alone or in combination:
There are three different medications to treat addiction to opioid drugs like heroin, oxycodone or other pain killers. Methadone is an effective approach for chronic opioid addiction that can be provided only within a special program. Buprenorphine / naloxone and naltrexone can be part of treatment plans in a variety of clinical settings.
If you are a veteran who is addicted to drugs or perhaps know such a person, any of the numerous centers in Connecticut will be happy to take you on and help you reclaim your life.
