Veteran's Special Resources NEW PTSD, Alcohol and Chemical Dependency
Over the past several years articles have surfaced periodically calling attention to the increase in alcohol abuse in members of the military who have returned from deployment. This is not a new phenomenon, and these concerns have been recoded as part of the after effects of combat throughout history. Several articles have been in the news of late (2009). However, if one takes the time to look into the news archives from the previous three to five years, you can read the same words, just in a different form. Since there has been no substantive change in care, it is sad to conclude there has been no creative or new approach to this problem. It is still prescription drugs and in some cases concomitant therapy. The pharmaceutical approach hasn’t been proven effective but it is the one that connects to billable hours for insurance via the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) in the standard mainstream approach to chemical abuse / dependency and mental health. I don’t necessarily agree with this model, and it is of great concern to me that eyes-ears-and minds are closed to other approaches. I also maintain that the current state of 12 Step models keep people captive at Step 3-4, in order to perpetuate this system. I believe, based on my work in mental health and chemical dependency, which includes a shift to working on Step 12, resolves more and heals more.

Veterans Support: Mesothelioma - Navy veterans who worked in navy shipyards and or served on our nation’s warships and submarine’s from WWII through the Vietnam War were exposed to high concentrations of deadly asbestos. Boiler rooms, engine rooms, sleeping quarters, and other areas of naval vessels were the most common areas where as asbestos was present. As a result, Navy veterans are at a greater risk of developing mesothelioma.
