Supporting Service Members and Veterans Beyond Active Duty
Transitioning between military structure and civilian life brings unique pressures—from shifting identity and family dynamics to managing hypervigilance, sleep difficulties, and service-related stress. Without confidential support, these pressures can sometimes spill over into alcohol or substance use.
Practical, Respectful Clinical Care
At OREA Consultation Services LLC, our clinical team approaches military and veteran counseling with respect for discipline, confidentiality, and practical goal-setting. We work collaboratively with each client to address:
- Post-deployment adjustment, anxiety, and mood stabilization
- Healthy coping strategies to replace alcohol or substance reliance
- Coordinated care for co-occurring behavioral health and substance use concerns
- Flexible in-person Silver Spring or Maryland telehealth appointments, with Medicare accepted
Seeking help early is a sign of strength and accountability. Call 301-439-6700 to schedule a confidential intake.
