Arrowhead Behavioral Health Offers New Program for Active Duty Military and Veterans

MAUMEE, Ohio – (May 12, 2010)Arrowhead Behavioral Health, a Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. (PSI) facility, is proud to announce the new TRICARE certified program for current members of the military, veterans and their families.

“Anyone who has ever served in the military has made a huge sacrifice for our country; now it’s time for us to give back,” said Elyssia Lowe, chief executive officer of Arrowhead Behavioral Health. “This program will offer them confidential and specialized treatment for any mental health needs they may have.”

Multiple deployments, as well as the high intensity and duration of conflicts can compound the extreme stress on those who are serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and their families. Arrowhead Behavioral Health has board certified psychiatrists, registered nurses, military-trained therapists and other professionals trained to help military and family members with unique mental health needs.

“Our highly qualified staff will determine the appropriate level of care to best fit each individual’s needs,” said Lowe. “The new TRICARE program can help them transition back into civilian life, help them overcome chemical dependence and substance abuse, and assess any other mental health issues they may be dealing with.”

Through treatment, Arrowhead professionals can teach the necessary resiliency skills to support healthy coping strategies, address the stress related to war and help active duty military members and their families return to normal life.
