Unhealthy substance use is often connected with PTSD, depression, or stress. We can help you understand how problematic drinking, substance use, or gambling might be related to other stressors in your life and we can teach you how to take control over your substance use. 

We can refer to our local VA Mountain Home Domiciliary or to agencies in our community.
