Supporting military service member mission readiness, health and wellness
The experiences of military service members can be very stressful and may lead to problematic drug & alcohol use - especially for those who’ve been deployed to combat. The military’s zero-tolerance policies and the high level of stigma attributed to drug & alcohol misuse prevent many from getting the help they need.
The goal of the Frontline Program is to help any service member who is misusing illicit drugs, prescription medications, and/or alcohol to improve their quality of life and return to productive and unrestricted duty.

Some common signs that a service member may be misusing drugs/alcohol and may already be suffering from a substance use disorder are:
Does a member of your unit have a substance use disorder?
Refer them for a free clinical assessment
It’s common for people with substance use problems to also have a mental health condition occurring at the same time. This is referred to as dual diagnosis or a co-occurring disorder.
Service members experiencing a mental health condition may turn to alcohol or drugs as a form of self-medication.
The most common mental health conditions reported are PTSD, anxiety and depression.
It is critical for members to receive integrated care that address both the substance use and mental health condition at the same time.
Service members exposed to combat trauma and/or military sexual trauma (MST) are at a heightened risk of developing PTSD.
Common behavioural and psychological symptoms that they may experience include:
Some trauma survivors may achieve complete recovery. However, others may develop a persistent mental disorder in which they are severely and chronically incapacitated.
Each individual has different needs when it comes to substance abuse and mental health treatment.
