Veteran's Help with Addiction: There is assistance, you are not alone.

Multiple deployments to combat zones can cause stress to veterans and their families.  That stress coupled with illnesses and/or injuries can put our nations veterans at risk for substance abuse disorders.  Addiction can further delay our Combat Veterans as they come home and reintegrate back into civilian life.  Our Warfighters need to know they are not alone.  Below are some websites and numbers of places to help.
