Our nation’s military members and their families demonstrate to the civilian population what it means to be an American. Their patriotism and sacrifice ensure that all of us can kiss our loved ones goodnight and not worry about their safety. That can be easy for civilians to take for granted since the only firsthand knowledge of war was a dark September day that forever changed the course of history.
The last twenty years and beyond demonstrate the dedication, sacrifice, and perseverance for our extended military family. From the Hindu Kush’s snowcapped peaks to the sand-blown cities of Anbar, our service members have shown America and the world what bravery truly is. The entire AspenRidge team thanks you for your tireless service and dedication to our grateful nation.

In the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, about 10% of returning Veterans seen by the VA have a problem with alcohol or other drugs. VA studies also show War Veterans with PTSD and alcohol problems tend to binge drink. Binge drinking is when a person drinks a lot of alcohol (4-5 drinks or more) in a short period of time (1-2 hours). For more information about casual drinking versus binge drinking, you can read our blog on the topic link here.

“More than 20% of Veterans with PTSD also suffer from substance use disorder (SUD).”
Those statistics above only scratch the surface. Countless others struggle with substance use, depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental health disorders. Military substance abuse has also become more prevalent.
The Mayo Clinic defines SUD as “a disease that affects a person’s brain and behavior and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medication. Substances such as alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine also are considered drugs.” In short, SUD is the clinical term for the disease of addiction. Almost one-third of Veterans seeking treatment for SUD also has PTSD. The two issues are inexorably linked.

When our service members return home, even those without the physical wounds of war often suffer from the psychological effects of combat. It’s sometimes easier for servicemembers to reach out for help to obtain a new limb or relearn how to walk than it is to ask for help with post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s important to member that you are not alone. According to the Veteran Administration’s 2019 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report, an excess of 6,000 Veterans commit suicide each year since 2008. In addition to the Veteran suicides, there were 919 suicides among never federally activated former National Guard and Reserve members in 2017, an average two and a half suicide deaths per day. According to the VA’s National Center for PTSD, 11-20% of military members who served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom have PTSD in a given year.

Everyone’s journey to recovery is different. Because substance use disorder is varying, complex, and often accompanied by underlying mental health struggles, treatment should be customized for each individual. For some people, inpatient treatment is the most appropriate. For others, an Intensive Outpatient Program is a better fit. AspenRidge Recovery offers IOP in all four Colorado locations for those that want freedom from addiction while maintaining employment and social obligations.
Intensive outpatient rehab or IOP in Colorado is an excellent choice for individuals who need flexibility with scheduling and locations to find the help they need to recover. Individuals completing IOP see significant increases in quality of life within their community and family. They are better able to manage their medications and maintain employment, all while keeping their recovery intact.

While the quality of treatment doesn’t differ between residential and our intensive outpatient program, there are significant differences in how the treatment is acquired. Rather than enter a facility and live there usually at least 28-days while treated, in IOP patients come to a facility around their schedule for a few hours a week. Our IOP in Colorado allows individuals seeking treatment for addiction, mental health, and trauma to remain engaged in their daily lives. For many individuals, daily commitments can’t be put on hold. Also, the support of friends, family, and the stability of work helps keep them in control, making treatment more effective. Early intervention through an intensive outpatient program Colorado improves not just work productivity but an individual’s quality of life.

At the same time, they’ll develop techniques for rebuilding trust with partners and family as well as repairing the damage done due to addiction to their interpersonal relationships. As patients move through recovery, they develop a plan for aftercare. This involves self-care strategies as well as those to help maintain stability during times of vulnerability. Doing so reduces the risk of relapse and contributes to building and participating in a supportive recovery community.
AspenRidge offers dual diagnosis treatment programs. Our clinicians are trained to treat both mental health, trauma, and PTSD as well as substance abuse. This treatment is vital for many people in recovery. According to research from SAMHSA, 9.2 million American adults struggled with mental health problems and a substance use disorder in 2018. Military substance abuse has become more prevalent.
Why do these issues so often coincide? The cause differs from person to person. Some people use substances to help regulate their mental illness. For example, a person who uses benzodiazepines such as Xanax to control their anxiety can quickly end up addicted to the medication.
Alternatively, some substances cause mental illnesses. Amphetamine abuse can lead to substance-induced bipolar disorder, depression, or amphetamine-induced psychotic disorder. Substance abuse can also increase your mental illness symptoms. In some cases, addiction can cause additional marks of mental illness to appear.

Our IOP program is twelve-weeks long, and our focus is to create an environment for therapy where you can process your concerns. You can then get the support you need to manage your recovery as you integrate into your daily routine.
We have designed this particular program to help you meet and overcome the challenges with recovery. We can help you reconnect with your family and friends. We also help you rebuild the trust that addiction has damaged. Military substance abuse can weigh heavily, but our treatment modalities are tailored to specific needs for every client.
Each of these topics is essential to helping you stay sober and treat trauma. Without addressing these topics, you may find yourself floundering when significant obstacles come your way. However, with the proper support system, you can rise and overcome these obstacles. Our passion is to help you make sobriety an integral part of your daily life. We can help you develop coping skills during one or more of our addiction therapy programs.
These therapy options can be part of your individualized treatment. As part of our addiction treatment programs, we also offer dual diagnosis treatment in our community intensive outpatient program. Mental illness and addiction often appear together. Sometimes addiction causes mental illness. Other times mental illness causes addiction.
In both cases, it is critical to get treatment for both disorders at the same time. That is where a dual diagnosis program can be helpful. Dual diagnosis programs allow us to treat these problems simultaneously for those who suffer from both an addiction and a mental illness
