Are you struggling with substance use problems?
Yes, I am. Unfortunately.
Don't worry, you're not alone. Many Veterans have problems with the use of alcohol, tobacco, street drugs, and prescription medicines. We're here to help.
How can you help me?
We provide many options for Veterans seeking treatment for substance use problems ranging from unhealthy alcohol use to life-threatening addiction. The services we offer you depend on your specific needs.
I've served in Operation Enduring Freedom and have a problem with alcohol. Who should I contact?
In that case, call your local VA medical center, and ask to speak to the OEF coordinator.
Will do. But tell me, do you also offer medication?
Yes, in order to stop substance use safely, and services to get stable medically managed detoxification to reduce cravings like methadone and buprenorphine for opiate addiction.
How can a veteran like me talk to someone about this?
