Memphis VAMC Jackson VA Clinic is located in Jackson, Tennessee, and operates under the Memphis VA Healthcare System. This is an outpatient clinic that provides comprehensive care to veterans and their loved ones. While this outpatient clinic specializes in providing primary care, if you’re someone struggling with a mental health or substance abuse disorder, you can still turn to this clinic to begin your addiction treatment track.
While detox and medication assisted treatment are not available at this location, you can get connected to these services through the Memphis VA Healthcare network. Both private and public insurance policies are accepted here, along with VA benefits.
Linkage to Detox and MAT
If you’re just starting on your path to addiction recovery, detox is often the first step. The primary
care department here can refer you to the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers Jr. VA Medical Center, where residential treatment is available for supervised detox and medication assisted treatment support.
There are several medication assisted treatment options available at this larger medical center too. However, once you begin your medical treatment, you can continue your treatment track through the Jackson outpatient clinic.
Integrated Care
The VA medical system as a whole does an excellent job of integrating your healthcare services to address diverse struggles impacting your life. Through the primary care department, you’ll meet with specialists and work with medical professionals who understand the unique challenges you’re facing as a veteran.
Their integrated approach to care is one reason why their services have been incredibly beneficial to veterans and family members needing comprehensive support to work through this difficult chapter in life.
Levels of Care
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
Aftercare
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.
-
Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
