Veterans are among some of the most vulnerable populations in the nation for experiencing struggles with substance use. One report found that an estimated 11% of veterans who visit a VA clinic for the first time have a substance use disorder (SUD).
For many veterans, transitioning back into civilian life after spending time in service can bring overwhelming emotions. They may have complex struggles with their mental health, survivor's guilt or feelings of hopelessness, anger or even despair. Self-medication can feel like an avenue to ease or “numb” the often mental and physical pain vets experience after their time in service.
These substance use struggles don’t transpire overnight. Instead, they are often brought on by pre-existing mental health conditions like depression, anxiety and others that have been left untreated.
Whatever challenges you’re facing, working with a team that understands the psychological, physical and emotional issues you’re going through is crucial. At Boca Recovery Bloomington, our veterans drug rehab program can support you with specialized, targeted and evidence based care to help you work toward a sober future.
Our team creates tailored custom treatment plans for drug, alcohol and opioid dependence, Here, you’ll find individualized care that blends the best of medical and holistic approaches.
Effective veteran drug rehab programs use the latest methods including supervised medical detoxification, medicine support when needed and targeted counseling that addresses the root cause of the addiction struggles you’re experiencing.
Going beyond addressing the symptoms of substance use, a quality veteran rehab should take the time to understand why a vet has turned to substance use, what they want their recovery goals to look like and how to create a treatment plan to help vets meet those goals.
The medical detox program at Boca Recovery Center in Bloomington, Indiana provides a safe and supervised environment for clients as they work to get substances or alcohol out of their systems. We use a combination of medications and therapy to keep clients as comfortable as possible while they experience withdrawal symptoms.
Clients have the lowest relapse risk with inpatient rehab treatment. In this environment, clients fully focus on addiction recovery, and they aren’t tempted with the same triggers they’ll face in the outside world. This is particularly important during the early stages of recovery when people are most vulnerable.
At Boca Recovery Center’s Bloomington location, clients live in a luxury facility with 17 bedrooms and bathrooms. The facility is an hour south of Indianapolis International Airport, making it convenient for most clients.
Certain addictions, such as opioid use disorder or alcohol use disorder, benefit from medication-assisted treatment (MAT). FDA-approved medications are used to mitigate withdrawal symptoms and cravings, helping people to better resist relapse in recovery.
At Boca Recovery Center, we offer MAT for our clients. If it is right for your situation, your medications will be monitored by staff members, and you’ll be properly supported.
This therapy, commonly known as CBT, is an evidence-based therapy for addiction treatment. It involves identifying how your thoughts, feelings, and actions directly influence your substance abuse or other negative behaviors in your life. When you begin to change your thoughts, this results in changed behaviors.
In addition to addiction treatment, CBT is used to treat a wide variety of mental health issues, such as anxiety and mood disorders.
A lot of addiction treatment work takes place in group therapy sessions. Every session is led by a mental health and addiction treatment professional, and they employ a variety of approaches, depending on the needs of the group.
Group therapy commonly involves CBT approaches, the use of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed therapeutic approaches. Clients reflect on their own thought and behavior patterns, their history of trauma, and the place emotions have had in their life. In group sessions, they learn to better process feelings, identify problematic patterns, and develop coping mechanisms to deal with substance abuse triggers.
Outpatient treatment involves attending counseling or therapy for a few hours throughout the week and then returning home or to a sober living home in between sessions. This option may be best for those with a mild addiction who have a strong and sober support system at home. Supplementing outpatient treatment with other forms of support like 12-step or non-12-step groups can be helpful in preventing relapse as well.
