Very interesting article SGT James Murphy Here’s some of the info from it for those who don’t feel like clicking on the link :
When Army Veteran Mario Reyes got out of the military in 2007, he carried invisible scars from his service. After struggling with anxiety and depression, he turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, which only made things harder. Over the summer, Reyes was the first Veteran admitted to Houston VA’s new Domiciliary and, this month, was among the first group of Veterans who graduated from the program.
The future looks bright as he celebrates four months of sobriety and a renewed sense of purpose. “I am clean and sober and about to get a new home. VA has so many resources. Once I got into the Domiciliary and started being open to it, I was amazed at how things started falling into place. Now I wake up in the morning feeling hopeful about my future,” he shared.
The new Domiciliary offers Veterans who have an identified addiction or substance abuse disorder care with residential rehabilitation, recovery and health maintenance. The program takes a whole health approach to challenges Veterans may experience, making sure their medical concerns and social needs, such as employment and housing, are addressed.
