The opioid crisis continues to devastate communities across the United States, and our veterans are among the most affected. Veterans, many of whom endure chronic pain and mental health challenges due to their service, often face limited options for managing their symptoms. While opioids have been a common prescription for pain management, their addictive potential and severe side effects have contributed to an ongoing health crisis. AVACEN Medical offers a groundbreaking solution—a non-invasive, drug-free technology that addresses pain and supports mental health without the risks associated with opioid use.
The Opioid Crisis Among Veterans: A National Concern
The statistics surrounding veterans and the opioid crisis are sobering. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), veterans are nearly twice as likely to die from an opioid overdose compared to non-veterans. Many veterans suffer from chronic pain, post-traumatic stress (PTS), anxiety, and depression—all conditions that are often prescribed opioids for relief. In turn, this reliance has fueled addiction rates, making the need for alternative pain management solutions more urgent than ever.
Through a powerful partnership with B&B Health Services, AVACEN Medical is dedicated to offering veterans a safe, effective, and accessible alternative to opioids. The AVACEN device empowers veterans to take control of their pain and mental well-being naturally, without the side effects and risks of addiction.
How the AVACEN Medical Device Works
AVACEN (Advanced Vascular Circulation Enhancement) is a non-invasive medical device that uses heat therapy delivered through the palm of the hand to promote microcirculation throughout the body. This gentle, safe process improves blood flow, delivering essential oxygen and nutrients to tissues and helping the body reduce inflammation and manage pain effectively.
For veterans, the AVACEN device offers two critical benefits:
- Drug-Free Pain Management: Many veterans live with musculoskeletal pain, joint stiffness, and inflammation. AVACEN’s heat therapy provides relief by enhancing circulation, reducing tension, and accelerating the body’s natural recovery process. This means veterans can experience pain relief without the need for opioids or other addictive medications.
- Mental Health Support: Chronic pain often goes hand-in-hand with mental health challenges, especially for veterans who may experience PTS, anxiety, and insomnia. AVACEN’s calming effects help to relieve stress and promote relaxation, making it a valuable tool for veterans managing mental health symptoms. By improving circulation and supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms, AVACEN contributes to both physical and mental recovery.
The Role of AVACEN in Combatting the Opioid Crisis
Opioid dependency frequently stems from chronic pain management challenges, particularly in populations like veterans who face unique health demands. AVACEN Medical’s non-invasive approach offers a sustainable alternative that mitigates the need for addictive medications. As more healthcare providers and VA doctors recognize the device’s benefits, it can play a substantial role in reducing opioid prescriptions for veterans.
Recent studies have shown that non-invasive, non-drug therapies for chronic pain are effective in reducing pain levels and improving patients’ overall quality of life. AVACEN’s ability to enhance blood flow and circulation not only provides pain relief but also supports faster recovery—addressing a key gap in veterans’ healthcare and offering a much-needed alternative to opioids.
Latest Statistics: Veterans and Pain Management Needs
Here are some current statistics on veterans and their health needs:
- Chronic Pain: Nearly 60% of veterans using VA health services live with chronic pain. Pain management remains one of the highest priorities in veterans’ healthcare.
- Mental Health: One in five veterans experience PTS, with rates even higher among those who served in combat. Mental health conditions like PTS, anxiety, and depression are common among veterans and often exacerbate physical pain.
- Opioid Use: Veterans are at a higher risk for opioid dependency and overdose, with studies showing they are nearly twice as likely as non-veterans to die from an opioid-related overdose.
With these numbers in mind, the need for safe, alternative therapies in veterans’ healthcare is clear. AVACEN Medical, in partnership with B&B Health, is committed to meeting this need by offering veterans a path to recovery without the risks of addiction.
