September is National Recovery Month: Resources for Veterans

September is National Recovery Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and substance use disorders, and celebrating those who have found their path to recovery. For Veterans, the road to recovery can be challenging, but it’s important to know that help is available. The VA offers a wide range of recovery resources tailored to the unique needs of Veterans, providing essential support for those struggling with mental health or substance use issues. 

VA Resources for Recovery

The VA recognizes the importance of supporting Veterans on their journey to recovery. Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, or substance use disorder, the VA offers a variety of programs and services to help you. These include: 

Mental Health Services

The VA provides comprehensive mental health care, including counseling, therapy, and medication management. Their programs are designed to address the specific needs of Veterans, taking into account the unique challenges of military service. 

Substance Use Treatment

The VA offers specialized treatment programs for Veterans struggling with substance use disorders. These programs include detoxification, outpatient and residential treatment, and ongoing support to help maintain sobriety. 

Whole Health Approach

The VA’s Whole Health approach focuses on empowering Veterans to take charge of their recovery. This holistic approach includes not only traditional medical care but also complementary therapies, peer support, and wellness programs to support overall well-being. 

Peer Support and Community Programs

Peer support can be a vital component of recovery. The VA connects Veterans with others who have shared similar experiences, providing encouragement and understanding. Community-based programs also offer additional support and resources. 

How to Get Started

If you or a loved one is a Veteran seeking support for mental health or substance use issues, the VA is here to help. You can access these resources by visiting the VA’s Recovery Month page or by reaching out to your local VA medical center. 

Celebrating Recovery

National Recovery Month is a reminder that recovery is possible and that no one is alone in their journey.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your recovery, reach out to the VA and discover the resources available to you.
