I work in a drug and alcohol treatment center in California. We have been willing to accept military personnell to our facility. Some were alcoholic before the military and some drink massive quantities to deal with PTSD.
We have a couple guys that have very active PTSD. Now this soldier says that he will only hear the voice of his friend who is in treatment( a Marine) who has experienced the same. I let him do this without interference. I don't know what the hell is going on except what these guys tell me. They have told me how they are helped to get out of the experience.
There is going to be a time when the staff has to deal with this. What is the best way to try to help these guys come back to reality?
