The Navy has suspended operation of its residential substance abuse treatment program at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Virginia, as a result of staffing shortages that affected the quality of care.

The service closed the program, considered the Navy's top rehab center on the East Coast, in September, officials confirmed this month. All patients were sent to or are being referred to other Defense Department residential programs or the Tricare network, NMCP Public Affairs Officer Christina Johnson said.
