About Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center – Cadillac CBOC

Cadillac VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Cadillac, Michigan, provides tailored treatment plans for veterans struggling with substance use disorder and related issues. Treatment is delivered in an outpatient setting, with services available for veterans with a dual diagnosis (a substance use disorder and a behavioral health condition at the same time). A referral is required at this location, but in urgent cases a same-day appointment may be available.

Trauma-Informed, Veteran-Focused Care

Veterans often face unique challenges that contribute to their substance use, such as difficulties readjusting to civilian life, homelessness and PTSD. Personalized treatment plans are tailored to these issues by using trauma-informed treatment approaches in therapy. Treatment includes readjustment counseling and connecting clients to social and community services.

Medication Assisted Recovery

Getting free of substances alone is tough, so I appreciate that clients don’t need to be substance-free to enter substance use treatment. Medication assisted recovery is available at many VA Health locations, so clients can receive medications that reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms. This helps clients wean off illicit substances in a controlled and effective way, which allows them to better engage in the psychological aspects of treatment and improve recovery outcomes.

Having struggled with her mental health, Gemma has spent much of her writing career focused on topics surrounding behavioral health and stigmatized health issues, such as eating disorders, depression, obesity, and sexually transmitted diseases. It was a natural step to write about addiction, with her background in Biology and Research Science playing a key role in understanding chemical dependency as a disease. By writing about drug rehabilitation in an accessible and compassionate way, she hopes more people will feel encouraged to seek help.
