Veterans Mental Health Challenges
One of the primary challenges veterans face is dealing with the aftermath of trauma they experienced during their service. Whether it’s combat exposure, witnessing the loss of their comrades or being involved in life-threatening situations, these experiences can ultimately leave deep psychological scars.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a somewhat common condition among veterans. Symptoms include hypervigilance, flashbacks, nightmares and emotional numbness. The constant state of alertness and the inability to escape war memories can make it hard for veterans to reintegrate into their daily lives.
In addition to PTSD, veterans often grapple with depression and anxiety, leading to isolation and hopelessness.
Survivor’s guilt can be another issue for veterans when they wonder why they survived but others didn’t.
The abuse of drugs or alcohol can occur as a coping mechanism to numb experiences from the past or manage mental health symptoms. Unfortunately, this can lead to a dangerous addiction cycle. Addiction further complicates mental health.
The stigma that comes with mental health in the military and veteran communities can be a barrier to receiving needed help. Many veterans may feel that if they admit to struggling with mental health, it’s a sign of weakness. There may also be a fear that getting veterans mental health treatment would impact careers, reputation or relationships. The reluctance to get help deepens isolation and suffering.
By understanding these unique challenges, The Berman Center can provide mental health treatment, tools and support to help veterans build healthy and meaningful lives after service.

Veterans Mental Health Treatment Programs at The Berman Center
Our veterans’ mental health treatment programs integrate comprehensive care addressing mental health issues and the specific challenges veterans often face. The program is part of our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Atlanta, which is designed to provide flexible but effective treatment supporting long-term wellness.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy: CBT helps veterans identify their negative thought patterns that contribute to mental issues such as PTSD so they can then change them.
- Dialectical behavior therapy: DBT focuses on mindfulness, emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships.
- Trauma therapy: Specifically designed to address experiences during military service, trauma therapy helps veterans as they process their experiences to then begin healing.
- Mindfulness and meditation training: Our team teaches strategies to stay grounded in the present, reducing anxiety and improving mental health overall.
- Group therapy: Offering a supportive environment, veterans can share experiences with others who understand their struggles, promoting community and reducing isolation.
- Family therapy: When possible and appropriate, our programs include loved ones in the healing process, helping to rebuild relationships.
Beyond traditional therapy, our programs integrate experiential and holistic approaches.
- Yoga therapy combines physical movement and mindfulness to help reduce stress and improve physical health.
- Art and music therapy can be creative outlets to express emotions and process experiences, facilitating self-discovery and healing.
- Personal training and nutritional counseling support physical well-being, which is closely associated with mental health.
One of the most significant benefits of our veterans’ mental health programs is our ongoing support. We offer 24/7 counselor support, ongoing recovery coaching and the opportunity to participate in multi-family and gender-specific groups. The sense of community and belonging helps veterans feel supported throughout their recovery journey.
The program’s structure allows veterans to participate in intensive therapy while maintaining responsibilities at home. Veterans attend the program three days a week, with three daily group sessions. This allows them to continue treatment without disrupting their lives, making it easier for them to commit to and complete the program.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH
Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Veterans
Veterans can be particularly vulnerable to developing co-occurring disorders. The pressure to perform under extreme conditions, trauma exposure and the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life can all contribute to developing mental health issues and substance use disorders. When the conditions occur together, recovery can be harder if not treated simultaneously.
For example, a veteran who’s struggling with PTSD might turn to alcohol or drugs to numb the emotional pain they’re feeling and the flashbacks linked to their trauma. Substance use can make PTSD symptoms worse. That leads to a destructive cycle requiring integrated treatment to break.
Without addressing both disorders at the same time, treatment tends to be less effective, with relapse more likely. Our dual diagnosis programs are designed with veterans in mind to provide relevant care sensitive to the specific needs and experiences of those who have served our country.
