Hi. I was looking for information around the substance use on treatment for veterans. Could you help me?
There is no problem. Are you having any struggles with substance right now?
No, not me. But I'm worry about that.
================
There are any plan or program to help veterans with this klind of problem?
Yes, there are. We can offer treatment and support for health conditions that can be related to substance use problems, like PTSD or depression.
================
That's very nice to know. But, how can someone access to those programs?
For that, you need to apply first for the VA health care.
And why do I need that? Sorry, if I bother you.
There is no problem at all. But, the VA health care program covers services to help on the treatment for substance use problems. So it's becomes the best way to receive help from us.
OK, I have contact with a VA primary care provider.
That's great! That's a first step to get help, you can talk to your provider to get a screened for the substance use and know which kind of treatment and support you can get.
