If you're currently struggling with PTSD and substance use disorders in Rhode Island, reach out for support. If left untreated, PTSD only gets worse. But with the aid of dedicated mental health professionals and counselors, you can overcome your condition and go on to lead a happy, healthy life.
Individual counseling is a safe place to talk about traumatic experiences with the support of a trained professional. Therapists can help establish healthy coping strategies and techniques to stay grounded during difficult memories.
Distressing physical and emotional experiences lead many veterans to doctor's offices for various prescription medications to treat pain. Some veterans turn to alcohol and/or drugs to self-medicate.
Prescription drugs have the potential to be abused and can lead to addiction. It is important to take medications only as prescribed. Unfortunately, some veterans who struggle with emotional health challenges use medication as a means of treating these conditions and detaching from the difficult emotions they are experiencing.
The following are some of the most common prescription and non-prescription drugs associated with substance abuse among veterans.
War veterans go through traumatic events that no one should have to experience. These painful recollections are what leave so many with mental disorders, including PTSD, insomnia, anxiety and depression.
To manage war-related mental disorders, some veterans turn to alcohol or drugs - or both - as a coping mechanism. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, heavy alcohol use and prescription drug abuse are more prevalent with U.S. military personnel than civilians. PTSD is one of the most common disorders associated with SUD among veterans.
Substance use disorders can result in various physical side effects, and they can affect the family and friends of veterans as well. The good news is there are many programs and rehabilitation centers in the country that can help veterans with these disorders. If you're a veteran interested in any of these treatments, you must be enrolled in the VA health care system.
Treatment Programs for Veterans Addicted to Drugs
Medical detoxification, or medical detox, is an essential first step in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Since alcohol withdrawal is life-threatening when severe, medical alcohol detox is an absolute necessity. Medical drug detox is indicated for all individuals who have shown signs of physical and psychological dependence on a substance.
Inpatient treatment is a rehab option for people struggling with drug or alcohol addictions. Inpatient treatment centers typically include clinical guidance and supervision and a variety of step-down programs that clients can transition into after completing medical detox.
People receiving inpatient treatment live on-site at a rehab facility in a supportive and supervised environment. After finishing inpatient rehab, they may continue recovering in a partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient or outpatient treatment setting.
For people who do not need intensive care and can maintain relative stability during drug and alcohol rehabilitation, outpatient treatment is an excellent addiction treatment option. With scalable options ranging from regular interval therapy to intensive outpatient services, outpatient drug treatment programs offer a variety of choices to clients who want to overcome addiction.
In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from psychotherapy, psychiatric services and medical care, usually on a scheduled basis. On the spectrum of treatment settings that ranges from a rigid structure to flexible autonomy, outpatient alcohol and drug treatment are geared toward the latter.
The best way for a veteran to break off his or her drug use habit is to approach a rehab facility in Rhode Island and get much needed professional aid.
