        <p>The conference gave more than 500 Military Health System customer service and communications staff the opportunity to network and learn about changes to military healthcare benefits and focus on providing the best possible services to their customers.</p>

<p>&#8220;Anytime we have a platform to talk about our Patriot Support facilities and the services and treatment available, we take advantage,&#8221; said Andy Laning, executive director of military affairs for PSI. &#8220;The conference offered us a great networking experience and up-to-date information about what is happening in military healthcare.&#8221;</p>

<p>Keynote speaker Christine Humber, deputy director of TRICARE Management Activity, and motivational speaker Jake Poore presented at the Aug. 3 - 5 event. PSI Patriot Support served as the only behavioral health supporter at the conference.</p>

      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>The continuous deployments and rotations of our armed service members are taking a heavy toll on their lives.&nbsp; This stress manifests itself in both drug and alcohol treatment abuse and mental health disorders.&nbsp; In the past year, we have experienced a 34 percent surge in inpatient admissions of veterans, and a 15 percent increase in active duty members seeking help.</p>

<p>Estimates from numerous recent studies predict 35 percent of our fighting forces will suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).&nbsp; This is compared to the recognized rate of 4 percent in the general public.</p>

<p>We see PTSD more frequently in our military patient population.&nbsp; It is not always directly connected to the soldier&#8217;s experience in combat.&nbsp; In one case, a patient&#8217;s severe childhood physical and sexual abuse trauma occurred before he entered the Army and was exacerbated on a tour of duty in Iraq, which later became extremely debilitating.</p>

<p>We have responded to the increased need for PTSD treatment by providing a specialized group therapy option during their inpatient stay that continues to our outpatient level of care in the partial hospitalization or IOP.&nbsp; Clinical continuity is maintained by having the same clinician at all levels of programming.&nbsp; The PTSD service can be accessed at any level of care.</p>

<p>Alcohol still appears to be the abused drug of choice here in our location in Las Vegas.&nbsp; Once treatment is successfully started, we are finding more and more PTSD issues needing to be addressed.&nbsp; Our troops appear to need us more, necessitating for longer duration of treatment.&nbsp; Our voluntary supportive Aftercare program has seen increased participation by our service members, as well.</p>

<p>The difficulties are not just taking a toll on the military personnel.&nbsp; Family members are also suffering.&nbsp; We have seen an increased number of soldiers being returned home through the American Red Cross because they have family members here in treatment at Montevista.</p>

<p>It has been said when a young man or woman joins the military, they are signing a blank check payable to the United States of America for a value up to and including their lives. The PSI Patriot Support designed initiative is to ensure that the check is never cashed due to lack of treatment for their psychological or chemical dependency challenges.</p>

        <p>The event familiarized outpatient behavioral health providers about treatment programs and protocols for military patients and their family members who may be experiencing mental health issues associated with deployment.&nbsp; The goal was to equip providers with information needed to better identify and treat these patients.</p>

<p>Presentation topics included PTSD, substance abuse, Veterans Affairs, and TriCare, among others.</p>

<p>The event attracted national representatives from TriWest, along with representatives from Fort Carson and several community providers.</p>

<p>The event offered Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to physicians, nurses and social workers who attended.</p>

<p>The Southern Colorado Coalition&#8217;s primary objective is to provide local military installations with sound information regarding services offered, as well as to open the door for feedback pertaining to the military&#8217;s needs, what the facilities may do to improve their military services and what is needed from military representatives when treating soldiers and airmen.</p>

        <p>Treatment begins with a thorough assessment. Based on the assessment findings, service members are placed in different parts of the TRICARE-certified programs at the facility. Poplar Springs utilizes the American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria, factoring in the severity of addiction, community supports, co-morbid mental and physical conditions, and potential for complicated withdrawal to guide their treatment recommendations.&nbsp;   </p>

<p>Dr. Brady understands military life and knows the challenges military personnel and their families face. With a well-rounded medical, and psychiatric background, Brady oversees the Active Duty Military Unit. Poplar Springs has treated hundreds of soldiers for the emotional and psychological effects of military stress and post-deployment adjustment-related issues&#8212;including substance abuse. </p>

<p>&#8220;Poplar Springs understands the impact that military service has on our service members and their families,&#8221; said Brady. &#8220;After touring several of the military installations within the Eastern Seaboard Region and speaking with military officials about their needs, we built a military substance abuse program at Poplar Springs designed specifically for these groups. We have streamlined treatment programs to address their issues and treatment priorities. We will actively continue discussions to determine the best course of action to prevent future patterns of substance abuse and help mitigate the current issues.&#8221;&nbsp; </p>

<p>The active duty military unit at Poplar Springs Hospital regularly treats military personnel from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Maryland with individual military personnel coming from as far away as Michigan and Pennsylvania.&nbsp;  </p>

        <p>The Big Brothers Big Sisters program will respond to the needs of children in military families with its &#8220;Mentoring Military Children&#8221; initiative. The program matches children who have a parent deployed or in the process of deployment. It is open to the children of active duty Military, Reservist and National Guard Soldiers. Once the child is matched, Big Brothers Big Sisters provides mentor support with special events, outings and activities. </p>

<p>Since 2001, nearly 900,000 troops with children have been deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq and the Persian Gulf. The Pentagon estimates that currently 234,000 children have a mother or father deployed.</p>

<p>&#8220;Children with mothers and fathers in the military often suffer from increased levels of fear and anxiety or may experience behavioral problems,&#8221; said Paul Andrews, chief executive officer of The Brook Hospital &#8211; Dupont and The Brook Hospital - KMI. &#8220;With high levels of military deployment and repeat tours of duty, partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters allows our staff to assist families and their children in the Fort Knox area who need help coping with the stress and complications that multiple deployments might cause.&#8221; </p>

<p>Most recently, The Brook Hospitals sponsored a breakfast to kick off the &#8220;Mentoring Military Children&#8221; initiative. The event was held at the Leaders Club at Fort Knox.</p>

<p>&#8220;The Big Brothers Big Sisters mission falls right in line with our mission: to provide military families with the help and support they need as they bravely serve our country,&#8221; said Andrews. &#8220;As they proudly serve us, we want to serve them.&#8221;</p>

<p>In addition to their support of the &#8220;Mentoring Military Children&#8221; initiative, The Brook Hospital &#8211; Dupont is also designated as a PSI Patriot Support Center, an expanded program that provides behavioral health services to military members and their families at PSI facilities around the country. </p>

        <p>When asked to describe our program at Peak Behavioral Health Services, LLC, I am taken by the numerous stories and rich personalities that I have met over the last 11 months. </p>

<p>In my eyes, there have been many success stories as a result of our program. I can tell you about the soldier who attempted suicide by rolling his car over on a desolate highway in southern New Mexico, and how we knew it would be a difficult case. His depression was so severe that he could not see past the helplessness and hopelessness. However, he engaged in therapy and turned his life to a higher power. That soldier is now in his first year of college and completed the L.A. Marathon two months after graduating from our program.&nbsp; </p>

The wounds we have helped heal are many, but the sacrifice they make for our country is priceless.&nbsp; </p>

        <p>When asked to describe our program at Peak Behavioral Health Services, LLC, I am taken by the numerous stories and rich personalities that I have met over the last 11 months. </p>

<p>In my eyes, there have been many success stories as a result of our program. I can tell you about the soldier who attempted suicide by rolling his car over on a desolate highway in southern New Mexico, and how we knew it would be a difficult case. His depression was so severe that he could not see past the helplessness and hopelessness. However, he engaged in therapy and turned his life to a higher power. That soldier is now in his first year of college and completed the L.A. Marathon two months after graduating from our program.&nbsp; </p>

        <p>&#8220;Anyone who has ever served in the military has made a huge sacrifice for our country; now it&#8217;s time for us to give back,&#8221; said Elyssia Lowe, chief executive officer of Arrowhead Behavioral Health. &#8220;This program will offer them confidential and specialized treatment for any mental health needs they may have.&#8221;</p>

        <p>Charles H. Dukes, M.D., director of military psychiatry for PSI and Cedar Springs Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colo., addressed attendees about the military behavioral health crisis in his presentation&#8212;&#8220;Pre- and Post-Deployment Combat Stress Inoculation: Practical and Philosophical Considerations.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;According to statistics, one in five of the 1.7 million military members who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan are believed to have symptoms of anxiety, depression and other behavioral health issues,&#8221; said Dukes. &#8220;As a nation, it is our duty to provide sustainable solutions to all service members and their families to restore resiliency. Multiple deployments have taken a toll on the mind, body and spirit of those serving us, and we need to adjust our mental healthcare treatment to meet those needs.&#8221;</p>

<p>Dukes talked about pre-deployment preparation, combat-tested Warrior resiliency training and post-deployment treatment approaches, among other topics. He also stressed that communication is critical with military command units, family members and civilian behavioral health providers, such as PSI Patriot Support.</p>

<p>PSI Patriot Support includes inpatient and outpatient programs to treat post-traumatic stress (PTS), depression, substance abuse and general anxiety disorders that may be part of the readjustment issues related to multiple active combat situations.</p>

<p>Eight facilities are currently designated as Patriot Support Centers and work with military installation commanders to tailor services that meet the needs of active duty service members. Additionally, there are 17 TRICARE certified residential treatment facilities ready to serve the behavioral health needs of children and families. As mental health services are required in other areas, additional hospitals will fall under the PSI Patriot Support umbrella.</p>

<p>Dukes has more than 22 years of military experience with active deployments to the combat theater. He enlisted in the Navy in 1985 and served as a Hospital Corpsman. In 2005, he was commissioned in the Army medical corps and subsequently provided psychiatric care to soldiers at Camp Taji in Iraq in 2008 as part of a combat stress team. Recently, Dukes was activated to provide psychiatric support for individuals involved in the tragedy at Fort Hood in November 2009. </p>

<p>The goal of the 2nd Annual Military Health Support Systems Conference was to ensure physical and mental readiness by delivering practical operational solutions. Attendees from the Department of Defense, Health and Human Services and Veteran&#8217;s Administration included Chiefs, Commanders, Directors and program managers.</p>
