Treatment for Veterans in Southern California
Military service is one of the most difficult occupations due to the extreme danger and long tours of duty that accompany the job. Those returning home after a tour of duty can find themselves turning to drugs and alcohol to help deal with mental health issues related to PTSD and other trauma. Estimates show that around one in every 15 service members suffer from a substance use disorder. According to the Wounded Warrior Project, more than 76% of veterans suffer from mental health issues.
Due to the stress and trauma that comes with military service, veterans have unique treatment needs. The Valor Program at South Coast Behavioral Health offers trauma-focused, evidence-based treatment for all veterans.
