Veterans returning home to Idaho from military deployment and combat may face a number of challenges when trying to adjust back to civilian life.
Arguably, one of the biggest challenges is coping with any traumas they may have endured during deployment, such as significant injury, witnessing the death of a peer, or sexual assault.
The rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are high for veterans, specifically for those in the Army or Marine Corps who experienced moderate to severe combat. These veterans may also show signs of other mental health issues, drug abuse, and other physical health issues relating to the traumas they experienced during their military service.
One study found that 11% of veterans seeking services for the first time from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) met the criteria for a substance use disorder.
The reasons behind this are complex, but contributing factors include issues such as physical disabilities and mental health problems, as well as the prescribing of addictive opioids for pain and injuries. The trauma of combat may also contribute to substance abuse.
Veterans who have mental health issues may also hesitate to seek help due to the perceived stigmas around mental health disorders and turn to alcohol and/or other drugs to self-medicate their symptoms.
Military service, especially deployment to combat zones, is rife with extreme stress. Veterans may come back having witnessed or participated in significantly traumatic events. They may be injured or dealing with issues such as:
Leaving the military and returning to civilian life requires a period of readjustment that can be very challenging and uncomfortable for any veteran. When you add the issues of injury, pain, trauma, and drug or alcohol addiction, it's easy to see just how many uphill battles a veteran may face.
Unfortunately, many veterans may not get the help they need due to an unwillingness or inability to seek help. Without the help they need, they may be at higher risk of suicide. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that suicide rates among veterans exceed those of the general population. In 2014, approximately 20 veterans committed suicide every day.
Alcohol abuse is common among active-duty service members, and unhealthy drinking habits can continue long after military service has ended. An 8-year study from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs states that 10% of first-time users received an alcohol use disorder (AUD) diagnosis.
Combat exposure appears to be a major risk factor for alcohol problems in military personnel. A study looking into the alcohol consumption of 1,100 soldiers who had been part of a brigade infantry team returning from deployment found a correlation between combat (especially exposure to threats and atrocities) and alcohol misuse. An estimated 25% of those who were sampled were misusing alcohol 3-4 months after deployment. Of those, 12% experienced behavioral problems related to their alcohol use.
Admitting that you are addicted to drugs is the first step to getting better. The next step is to approach a center in Idaho so that you can be subject to competent, effective professional help.
