Specialized Military Programming & Treatment Services

Acadia Healthcare recognizes and honors the sacrifices that members of the military make to help maintain our country’s freedoms. We also have a deep understanding of how military experience can put individuals at a greater risk for developing mental health, behavioral health, and addiction challenges. People who serve in the military can be at a much higher risk for developing conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety disorders as a result of experiencing or witnessing combat. And people who have experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI), usually through a severe strike to the head, have shown an increased risk for developing PTSD later in life.

Although anyone who has been deployed or been involved in the military can experience mental health, behavioral health, or addiction challenges, people who have direct combat experience can be at an even greater risk for developing a mental health or substance use disorder. Participating in or witnessing violence, living through man-made and natural disasters, or seeing or experiencing sexual assault, all of which can occur in combat, can have long-lasting negative effects on an individual. As a result, people who have experienced combat might have trouble falling or staying asleep, bouts of uncontrolled anger, or nightmares, or they may struggle with substance abuse. These symptoms can also take a heavy toll on the individual’s family and loved ones, making the transition from military to civilian life extremely difficult if these symptoms are left untreated.

The treatment facilities within the Acadia Healthcare network can help you or your loved one heal from the effects of the mental health, behavioral health, or addiction challenges you or they might be facing.
