Veteran Addiction and Mental Health
Veterans are a population that is at greater risk of developing substance abuse and addiction compared to the general population. This is due to various factors, such as being exposed to high-stress environments or having easy access to drugs and alcohol.
Addiction can be an especially difficult issue for veterans since it often goes hand in hand with other mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Unfortunately, this can make it even more challenging for veterans to reach out and access the help they need in order to overcome addiction.

The Importance of Rehab for Veterans
- Addiction treatment programs for veterans are an important and beneficial resource, as they provide specialized care to those who have served their country. Such programs offer a variety of services tailored to the unique needs of veterans, including individualized treatment plans and comprehensive support during recovery.
- These programs also focus on helping veterans reintegrate into civilian life, providing resources such as job training and placement assistance. Additionally, many addiction treatment centers for veterans collaborate with local employers to create employment opportunities for program participants. These types of partnerships can be incredibly beneficial for both parties – employers gain qualified employees while former service members find meaningful work that helps them regain stability in their lives.
- Addiction treatment centers also work with community organizations to provide additional support services such as housing assistance and mental health counseling. This kind of comprehensive approach to recovery helps veterans build a strong foundation for long-term success in overcoming addiction.
Veteran Rehab in Tennessee at Apex Recovery
In addition to free evaluations, Apex Recovery Tennessee offers access to professional veterans addiction help, including alcohol and drug rehab. Military service members commonly drink alcohol during their deployments. Although the Department of Defense has strict rules on alcohol use, service members may engage in binge drinking, which can affect their ability to fulfill their duties. It can also cause problems in relationships and financial and legal challenges.
We offer addiction recovery services that include:
- Comprehensive and effective veterans addiction rehab programs for alcohol and drugs
- Treatment with medication to help recover from drug and alcohol abuse and to aid in preventative health strategies
- A psychiatric assessment and medication consultation to address co-occurring issues like bipolar disorder, anxiety, or depression
- A holistic approach to treatment that helps with healing and provides access to available addiction and recovery therapies
Apex Recovery stands out from other veterans addiction treatment centers in that we combine addiction recovery with trauma recovery and address co-occurring disorders as well. For example, veterans with PTSD are more likely to face addiction, and individuals with intense anxiety often self-medicate with alcohol and/or illicit substances. Our integrative approach to treatment is designed to help them deal with their chemical dependencies and psychological health.
Apex Recovery Mission Support (A.R.M.S)

ARMS Resource Coordinators have access to a nationwide network of TRICARE-approved and Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VA CCN)-contracted facilities that offer a full continuum of behavioral health programming.

Alcohol Rehab for Veterans in Tennessee
Alcohol is the most misused substance among veterans.1 According to a recent study more than 65% of veterans, who entered an addiction treatment program, listed alcohol as their main substance of misuse.2 Alcohol abuse is also a problem for active military service members. More than 20% of all service members have reported that they “drink heavily.”2 Heavy drinking is defined as the consumption of 8 or more drinks per week for women and 15 or more drinks per week for men.2
Many veterans who suffer from an alcohol or substance use disorder also have a co-occurring mental health disorder. The most common mental health disorders among veterans include: 1,2
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety disorder
- Major depression/depression disorder
Research shows the symptoms associated with those mental health disorders can lead to, or worsen alcohol abuse after military service.2 Those experiencing major depression and/or PTSD may over-medicate or misuse alcohol to cope with past trauma. A rehab center for veterans that treats both substance misuse and mental health disorders can offer a personalized recovery plan to achieve the best outcome.
That is why at Apex Recovery we also focus on treating the underlying mental health issues that veterans face to ensure the best chances of long-lasting recovery and sobriety.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Veterans in Tennessee
A dual diagnosis, which is also known as a co-occurring disorder, is when a person has at least one mental health disorder and a substance use disorder at the same time.5Veterans are more likely to experience co-occurring disorders.4 Because of the conditions faced during active duty, they may be experiencing major depression and/or PTSD, resulting in the misuse of prescription drugs and/or alcohol to cope with trauma.4,5
Apex Recovery in Tennessee offers an integrative approach to treatment, specifically designed to treat both addiction and mental health disorder.
