When Vince came back from Iraq, he had trouble sleeping and flashbacks. He began taking narcotics to try and cope. Eventually, he developed a drug problem. At VA, he found support to overcome his addiction. A combination of medication and therapy helped him find ways to manage PTSD symptoms and get back on track.
No matter what you may be experiencing, there is support for getting your life on a better track. Many, many Veterans have found the strength to reach out and make the connection.
