Many service members leave active duty with untreated mental and physical health issues. Five in 10 military veterans report a significant physical or mental health issue for which they are not receiving care. One in 10 veterans have considered suicide or made a plan to end their life by suicide.
Nearly eight in 10 service members leave the military without a job, expecting to quickly find meaningful employment that provides adequate remuneration once they leave the military.
Nearly a quarter of veterans in California with jobs are earning at or below the poverty level. Over three-quarters of those veterans without a job are not receiving assistance in finding a job.
At the same time, veterans also report needing time to figure out what they want to do in life once they leave the military.

Many veterans struggle with stress and mental illness, which increases their risk for developing substance use disorders. DrugRehab’s goal is to spread awareness of substance abuse and to be an informational resource for those impacted by alcohol.

Our talking points stemmed from the homeless population in Orange County, to compiling a viable plan that would address this major epidemic.
