Abstract
Treating the military with addiction issues has mostly been treated as a separate issue to the other diagnosis. Often times the addiction is treated as the only issue with which the member of the United States Military is living. The standard of treatment is typically associated with the treatment of preparing the individual for upcoming work requirements and less about long term effective treatment of the co-morbidity of mental health illnesses such as, but not limited to, PTSD. Through my experience and research I propose that military organizations begin to adopt a treatment plan that treats all mental health issues, not just addiction, resulting in long term, effective treatment of the member. Addiction affects an astounding 39% of the United States Military according to a study conducted by the American Journal of Public Health, active duty military and veterans prone to substance abuse, depression and suicide. Many of these individuals will, unfortunately, only be treated minimally and for the substance abuse and/or the addiction while, depression, PTSD, anxiety and so on will go untreated resulting in the member returning to civilian life without the supervision needed to assist in sobriety to a life of addiction, essentially self medicating the undiagnosed and or untreated mental illness.Biography
