Almost one out of every three veterans seeking treatment for a substance use disorder (SUD) also has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is important to learn the diagnostic criteria, evidence-based treatment, and commonly associated problems with co-occurring SUD and PTSD. However, it is equally important to understand the unique culture of service members, veterans, and their families. With the goal of supporting those who serve and their families, NAADAC presents the specialty online training series Addiction Treatment in Military & Veteran Culture, presented by Duane K. L. France, MA, MBA, LPC.

Upon completion of the training series, individuals may apply for the Addiction Treatment in Military & Veteran Culture Certificate.
