An organization with locations across the country dedicated to helping those struggling with substance abuse into recovery. We understand the unique struggles military personnel and their families experience and how their selfless role can be both rewarding and stressful, causing some to turn to various forms of substance abuse to cope; we believe education can help prevent this.
Our new resource outlines the mental effects of deployment, combat, and separation, among other relatable subjects, the signs and consequences of substance abuse, and how to get help for those who are using substances to cope.
