Substance Abuse

Active-duty and Veteran military members struggle with substance use disorders, just like the general population. With combat deployments, drinking culture, and chronic pain from injuries, it's no surprise service members also face issues with addiction. In fact, about 11% of military Veterans meet criteria for a substance use disorder.
