American Addiction Centers…
Over time, the emotional costs of military service can be high – anxiety, PTSD, flashbacks, hypervigilance, major depression, or survivor’s guilt. The very nature of our military and first responder heroes – to “power through,” to “protect and serve” to “carry the load” – can put them at risk for self-medicating and addiction. American Addiction Centers’ First Responder Lifeline program takes on both addiction and the emotional costs of combat and responder service. The First Responder Lifeline program can be found at five American Addiction Centers’ facilities across the nation: Greenhouse Treatment Center, Dallas, TX, Sunrise House Treatment Center, Sussex County, NJ, Desert Hope Treatment Center, Las Vegas, NV, Recovery First West Palm, Fort Lauderdale, FL, Clinical Services Rhode Island – Greenville/Portsmouth/South Kingstown, RI
American Addiction Centers’ helpline dedicated to veterans and military personnel is free, confidential, and available 24/7

The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) represents community and faith-based homeless service providers. Tonight, approximately 49,000 veterans will sleep in alleys, abandoned buildings and under bridges because they have no home. Yet this year alone, approximately twice that many will experience the ravages of homelessness. As an individual with or without affiliation, you can make a difference in the lives of America’s former guardians. They answered the call to serve our nation in a way few Americans ever will, and they deserve the full measure of our support in their greatest hour of need. The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) is proud to be a connection point for any veteran in crisis, and anyone interested in learning more about how they can help.
