Since 2014, Addaction has supported over 500 veterans with problems related to drugs and alcohol through our pioneering Right Turn programme.

Right Turn is a veteran-specific substance misuse recovery model that acknowledges the specific experiences of people in the armed forces community and focuses on re-directing the comradeship that underpins military life towards supporting recovery. Amongst a range of opportunities, support comes in the form of specialist one-to-one sessions, peer-support groups, access/referral to prescribing services, and pathways to other veteran services.

Support for veterans with substance or alcohol misuse problems is available at any Addaction service.
