Veterans have an increased risk of developing alcohol use disorder (AUD). They are also at risk for PTSD, depression, and anxiety, especially those who were active duty. All of these issues are interlinked and create unique challenges for those who saw military service.

Addiction Center is an informational web guide for those who are struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring behavioral and mental health disorders.

Veterans who have seen combat may have co-occurring disorders, such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, in addition to an addiction.
