The Struggles Veterans Face: Breaking the Cycle of PTSD and Addiction

The weight of trauma can make civilian life feel impossible. Many veterans live with the invisible scars of PTSD—flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness. These symptoms often lead to self-medicating with alcohol or drugs, creating a destructive cycle where PTSD fuels addiction, and addiction worsens PTSD.

This cycle is common but not unbreakable. At Deer Hollow, we specialize in addressing both the root causes of PTSD and the addiction that stems from it. Our comprehensive approach empowers veterans to heal deeply and break free from the grip of trauma.

U.S. Marines standing guard in Iraq experience trauma from combat exposure, often leading to PTSD and substance abuse; Deer Hollow provides inpatient PTSD treatment and veteran mental health services to heal both trauma and addiction.

Testimonial: A Veteran’s Story

Here’s how one veteran found hope and healing at Deer Hollow after years of struggling with PTSD and addiction:

“When I returned home from my second tour in Afghanistan, I was broken. I didn’t want to talk about my military service, and I didn’t know how to act in social settings. I felt out of place like I could only be normal when deployed in another country. I felt too broken to be fixed, but not broken enough to deserve help. Alcohol was how I self-medicated to get through each day when I was stateside, which is how I became addicted to alcohol.

I suffered from alcohol addiction for 10 years and was treated by the VA hospital nine times without success. Then I requested that the VA authorize me to obtain treatment at Deer Hollow, and I’ve been healthy ever since.”
