Veterans’ Struggles with Substance Use Disorder Veterans face substance use disorder at alarming rates, with statistics indicating high prevalence rates of illicit drug and alcohol use among this population. Additionally, a significant proportion of veterans grapple with serious mental health conditions, underscoring the complex challenges veterans may encounter when dealing with addic- tion and co-occurring mental health issues. Tailored Treatment for Veterans Addiction treatment for veterans must be in- dividualized to address the diverse needs and conditions veterans may face. Whether battling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), pain med- ication addiction, emotional trauma, alcohol or illicit drug addiction, or bipolar disorder, veter- ans require specialized care that acknowledges their unique experiences and challenges. At 1st Step Behavioral Health, our trauma-informed ap- proach and comprehensive treatment programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of veterans in Florida.
Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders Co-occurring PTSD and addiction require a holistic and integrated treatment approach that delves into the underlying factors con- tributing to both conditions. One-on-one counseling, group therapy sessions, and trauma-informed care are essential compo- nents of addiction treatment for veterans facing co-occurring disorders, providing a safe and supportive environment for healing and recovery. Managing Pain Medication Addiction Chronic pain resulting from combat or de- ployment often leads veterans to rely on prescription opioids, which can lead to ad- diction. Our rehab program at 1st Step Be- havioral Health recognizes the challenges associated with pain medication addiction, offering safe detoxification and medica- tion-assisted treatment to assist veterans in managing cravings and preventing relapse. Emotional Trauma and Substance Use Emotional trauma and military-related ex- periences can drive individuals to turn to substances as a coping mechanism. Recog- nizing the complex relationship between emotional trauma and substance use, our trauma-informed care approach addresses the root causes of addiction while fostering emotional healing and resilience among vet- erans.
