Drug & Alcohol Rehab for Veterans in New Jersey

Addiction Treatment Plans Designed for Military Veterans

Military veterans, heroes who have sacrificed so much for their country, often face unique challenges upon their return to civilian life. Many veterans find themselves vulnerable to mental health issues and addiction, a combination that can be especially difficult to overcome. At SOBA New Jersey, we understand the specific needs of veterans, and our dedicated Veterans Addiction Treatment Program is designed to provide tailored support.

Recovery is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s about rebuilding lives and fostering resilience. SOBA NJ’s program emphasizes life skills training, vocational support, and education to empower veterans for a successful future. Through job placement assistance, resume-building workshops, and skill development programs, we equip veterans with the tools they need to reintegrate into the workforce and regain their independence.

Why Veterans Are Vulnerable to Mental Health and Addiction Issues

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Exposure to combat situations or traumatic events during military service can lead to PTSD, a mental health condition characterized by severe anxiety, flashbacks, and nightmares. Veterans suffering from PTSD often turn to substances to self-medicate and cope with their symptoms.
Transition Challenges: Reintegrating into civilian life can be overwhelming. Veterans may struggle to find employment, housing, and a sense of purpose, leading to feelings of isolation and hopelessness, which can contribute to substance abuse.
Chronic Pain and Injury: Many veterans suffer from chronic pain and injuries due to their service. Prescription medications provided to manage pain can sometimes lead to dependency and, eventually, substance abuse.
Military Culture: Military culture can normalize heavy drinking and substance use, making it easier for veterans to develop unhealthy habits that persist even after their service has ended.

Statistics on Substance Abuse in Veterans

The prevalence of substance abuse among veterans is a serious concern:

More than one in ten veterans have been diagnosed with a substance use disorder, slightly higher than the general population.
3.5% of veterans self-reported using marijuana, with 1.7% reporting illicit drug use other than marijuana.
10% of veteran admissions to substance treatment centers were heroin, and 6% were for cocaine.
From 2001 to 2009, the percent of veterans in the VHA system receiving an opioid prescription increased from 17% to 24%.
65% of veterans entering treatment reporting a frequent misuse of alcohol.
In 2014, veterans comprised more than 20 percent of national suicides.

Modern Facilities Crafted for Modern Recovery

At SOBA NJ, we recognize the unique challenges veterans face and have developed a specialized program to address their specific needs.

Our medically supervised detox programs ensure safe withdrawal from substances while managing the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms. Our experienced medical staff is trained to handle the complexities of detoxification, providing veterans with a secure and supportive environment.

Inpatient Treatment

Our inpatient program offers a structured and therapeutic environment where veterans receive round-the-clock care.

In addition to traditional therapies, SOBA NJ offers holistic treatments such as yoga, meditation, and art therapy. These modalities provide veterans with healthy coping mechanisms, aiding in their overall recovery and well-being.

SOBA NJ understands that recovery continues beyond treatment. Our veterans receive continuous support through counseling, support groups, and access to our alumni network, ensuring they have the resources they need to maintain sobriety and mental well-being long after leaving our program.
