Abstract:
Substance use disorder, which is often comorbid with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), is a problem confronted by many veterans. To determine the potential utility of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) for veterans, 508 NA attendees were studied. Veterans (n = 172) were more likely to have been referred by a professional than were non-veterans (77% vs. 27%, respectively); 70% had been hospitalized for alcohol or drug problems, and 51% had been treated for non-substance psychological problems. The 70% of veterans who reported at least 1 of 3 service-related stressful experiences were more likely to report PTSD-related symptoms. NA can serve as a recovery resource for certain veterans with substance use disorders, with or without PTSD.
