About North Las Vegas VA Medical Center
North Las Vegas VA Medical Center is an integrated healthcare care provider. They’re based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, and serve veterans from Henderson and Boulder City. From primary care to behavioral health treatment, they’re open 24/7. They have specialized programs available for underserved veterans, such as the homeless, victims of military sexual trauma, and the LGBTQ+ veteran community.
Accessing Care from Transportation to Telehealth
Another thing I noticed is how they make programs accessible. They accept Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE. They can reimburse travel expenses if you come from afar or use ambulances or wheelchair vans. They can even arrange transportation for getting you to and from your VA appointment.
You might not need to go in at all. They offer home telehealth services and video conferencing. You can book appointments, undergo medical checkups, and coordinate care with providers without leaving home. Store and forward telehealth are available to securely send or receive health information from the VA. This is especially helpful if you live in a remote location.
Personalized Substance Use Treatment for Veterans
Outpatient addiction recovery is an integral component of their mental healthcare. You’ll first undergo a clinical evaluation so you and the team can create a treatment plan just for you. This mainly involves recovery focused group and individual therapy. The therapy is geared towards helping you tackle the underlying psychological issues contributing to your substance use and build strong coping skills.
They’ll also provide medication assisted treatment, especially if you’re dealing with opioids, alcohol or stimulants. Medication assisted recovery uses FDA-approved methadone, Suboxone and Vivitrol with counseling to curb cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This enables you to focus on counseling to address the psychological aspects of your addiction.
Whole Health and Complementary & Integrative Health
The VA has other plans that blend self-care with complementary therapies alongside conventional medical care. The program involves acupuncture to help you manage pains without drugs, meditation & mindfulness training, and massage. Yoga, tai chi and qi gong classes are part of the activities as well.
Through personalized care planning, their whole health team will employ activities that are complementary and integrative to your recovery. These also involve using herbs or natural products to manage pains, special dieting, deep breathing and acupressure. Their recreational and creative art therapy includes arts and crafts, pet therapy, and sports.
Veterans who misuse IV drugs are susceptible to infectious diseases like hepatitis, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. This is due to the sharing of needles and weakened immune system. They offer testing, screening and treatment for hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. They also provide compassionate counseling and preventive strategies that include wound care.
Recovery programs are complemented by the social support services accessible through their social work departments. This may include help with finances, safe housing, and home health care. They also offer employment assistance, legal aid, and transportation services.
