WILMINGTON | Many active duty and returning service men and women are coming home with mental health issues, sometimes accompanied by alcohol and drug abuse. Law enforcement officers might also go through many of the same symptoms after years of stress and danger on the job.

This realization and information on how to combat these illnesses will be discussed during a forum titled “Recovery Takes Flight”, 11 a.m. Sept. 1 at the Wilmington Treatment Center, 2520 Troy Drive. The event is part of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month.

Among those who will attend are four-star general Barry McCaffrey, former U.S. Director of National Drug Control Policy; Dr. Barry Karlin, CEO of CRC Health Group; Charles Smith, North Carolina Director of Veterans Affairs; U.S. Congressman Mike McIntyre; Miss North Carolina 2010 Adrienne Leigh Core; elected officials; police chiefs; treatment experts; veterans officials; recovering alumni and others.

The public is invited to attend the event, including the luncheon that follows, free of charge.

For more information call (800) 992-3671 or go to WilmingtonTreatment.com.
