Addiction and PTSD Treatment For Veterans

Warriors Healing Warriors

Warriors Heart helps veterans who put their lives on the line for our country. We create dedicated and tailored programs for every warrior seeking help, starting at a minimum of 42 days and extending up to 8 weeks. Together we face their addiction and PTSD challenges.

It’s not easy. We know.

We help veterans and active duty daily. When you come home, you bring back more than physical scars. Your experiences stay with you and lead to unresolved combat stress, post traumatic stress disorder and can even evolve into substance abuse or addiction. We understand what you’ve been through, what you need, and welcome you to our healing facility.

Veterans place their lives on the line for the safety of our country. However, many who offer their service come back home with more than just physical scars. Whether you served our country as part of the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Navy, each experience you lived through can contribute to feelings of ill effects of combat and other traumatic events.

This can lead to feelings of isolation and inability to connect intimately with family and friends. In certain cases this can also lead to PTSD, with many turning to alcohol and drugs in order to decompress. For family members, it can be hard to come to the realization that the person who returned home is not the same person they know and love. In these situations, seeking treatment from Warriors Heart is the best option to ensure that they are able to recover and truly come home.

In order to provide the best treatment possible, we only accept those who suffer from addiction by itself or in conjunction with psychological disorders such as PTSD.

PTSD / Addiction Signs and Symptoms To Look For In Active Military And Veterans

  • Feelings of unrest
  • Inability to feel happiness
  • Shift in mood
  • Using drugs or alcohol excessively
  • Threats to cause self-harm or suicide
  • Violent behavior

Causes of PTSD and Addiction In Active Military/Veterans

Traumatic events suffered during battle are among the most common causes of veteran PTSD. This includes being in battle against an enemy, suffering a wound as a result of gunfire or grenade explosions, or seeing a fellow soldier suffer damage from enemy fire. Those who have served during war in the military are also all too familiar with being exposed to terrorist attacks, which often causes survivors to live with the memories of the event.

These memories live long after discharge, with veterans often seeking self-medication through alcohol, drugs, or prescription drugs to comfort themselves. Prescription drug abuse is more common among those who have been injured in battle, with 11.7% of veterans falling prey to this addiction in comparison to 4.4% of civilians.
