Veterans and Recovery
Veterans and Recovery Our society is beginning to understand the effects of many of the consequences of battle and how it can impact communities. Mental health is rightfully losing its stigma, and we are beginning to talk about it more openly, providing a better road to our veterans entering the work force and reintegrating in communities and families. Recovery from substance use or abuse is often overlooked or misunderstood by society, and assisting veterans with any needed recovery effort should be a priority for federal agencies. Recovery and treatment should not fall victim to long waits and bureaucratic hurdling, but should instead be available openly to our veterans, free from judgment, and with the support of the community. This Veterans Day, make a donation to a recovery group in your area, or contact Veterans Recovery Resources for more information. Smart Test gives our sincere thanks to those who have served the country.
