Support for CAF Veterans

Support for Canadian Veterans

At Medical Marijuana Services (MMS), we’re proud to partner with Avail Medical to enhance the care and support provided to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and RCMP Veterans.

All CAF and RCMP Veterans are now automatically supported by Avail Medical’s dedicated team of healthcare experts, offering specialized services designed to address operational stress injuries and related health concerns.

Together, we share a deep commitment to delivering the highest standard of care for veterans and their families. With over 1,000 CAF Veterans already trusting Avail Medical for their ongoing care, this partnership ensures that every veteran we serve receives the same level of expertise, compassion, and trusted support they deserve.

As part of this commitment, veterans can access enhanced services explicitly designed to meet their needs:

  • Prescription pain cream for tailored treatment and medical devices are 100% covered by Blue Cross. Click here to view our brochure.

  • Access to specialists to increase cannabis coverage beyond three grams per day (up to 10 grams per day)

  • Access Avail’s exclusive calendar of excursions and activities tailored for veterans. 

 

Understanding Occupational Stress Injuries (OSI) in Veterans

Occupational Stress Injuries (OSIs) are often invisible, yet they can profoundly affect a Veteran’s daily life. Conditions such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain may develop after exposure to prolonged stress or trauma during service. These experiences can impact sleep, mood, concentration, and relationships, sometimes long after the uniform comes off. At MMS, we recognize that recovery takes time, trust, and compassion. We’re here to help you find relief, balance, and renewed peace of mind through personalized medical cannabis treatment designed to support both mental and physical wellness.

How Medical Cannabis Can Help with Recovery

Medicinal cannabis has emerged as a powerful therapeutic option for managing various health conditions, from chronic pain and neurological disorders to anxiety and inflammation. However, personalized monitoring of patient responses remains a significant challenge. By integrating Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis (FBCA) into patient care, we can provide objective, data-driven insights into the physiological effects of cannabis therapy.

Our mission is to make healthcare accessible, compassionate, and effective for every veteran. With MMS and Avail Medical by your side, you’ll have a team that understands your unique needs and is dedicated to supporting your health and well-being.
