Social prescribing is a way of connecting individuals to a source of support within the community to help improve their health and well-being. Social prescribing programmes are being widely promoted within the United Kingdom (UK) and United States as non-pharmaceutical interventions for those living with addiction and substance misuse needs. These needs have been exasperated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and global economic crisis, with emerging research indicating short-term and long-term detrimental effects on physical and mental health due to substance misuse and addictions. Psychosocial interventions utilize psychological or social factors rather than an overreliance on biological interventions to treat the health impacts of mental illnesses such as addictions and substance use disorder. In this paper, I will discuss the associated determinants of addictions and substance for the military veteran population, as well as how the social prescribing of psychosocial interventions could be used to reaffirm participant's identity and enhance their sense of belonging for military veterans, using a real-world example in Wales, UK.
社会处方是一种将个人与社区内的支持资源联系起来的方式，以帮助改善他们的健康和福祉。社会处方计划在英国和美国得到广泛推广，作为治疗成瘾和药物滥用人群的非药物干预措施。由于最近的 COVID-19 大流行和全球经济危机，这些需求加剧了，新出现的研究表明，由于药物滥用和成瘾，对身心健康会产生短期和长期的不利影响。心理社会干预利用心理或社会因素，而不是过度依赖生物干预，来治疗成瘾和物质使用障碍等精神疾病对健康的影响。在本文中，我将讨论与退伍军人有关的成瘾和物质使用的相关决定因素，以及如何利用心理社会干预的社会处方来重新确认退伍军人的身份，增强他们的归属感，本文将使用英国威尔士的一个真实案例进行说明。
