About Memphis VAMC Tupelo VA Clinic
In the heart of Mississippi’s Lee County, the Tupelo VA Clinic serves as a steady hand for veterans seeking to reclaim their health and stability. Located on Commonwealth Boulevard in Tupelo, this outpatient clinic is about two miles north of the Tupelo National Battlefield and just northwest of the Vietnam Memorial Replica Wall.
Clients can be connected to addiction treatment services to help them recover from substance use disorder. Their dedication to accessible care is notable with coverages supported through Tricare, Medicaid and Medicare alongside several commercial insurance plans.
Assessment and Referral Support For Veterans
While Tupelo VA Clinic specializes in low-cost primary medical care, veterans seeking targeted care for substance use and co-occurring mental health issues can access referral support via care coordination. Primary care providers here can conduct a thorough assessment of your substance use history and underlying mental health issues as well as current needs and recovery goals.
Following the assessment, they’ll connect you with clinics in the Memphis VA system that align with your specific recovery needs. Many clinics within the network offer targeted support across a continuum of care spanning medically supervised detox, inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient services such as medication assisted treatment for opioid addiction.
Helpful Care Services
Free parking is available onsite to make visits easier for veterans and their families. For veterans with limited mobility, wheelchairs are available upon arrival to ensure safe and easy access to the clinic. Tupelo VA Clinic offers same-day appointments, telehealth visits and walk-in express care for urgent medical needs.
Veterans may also qualify for financial assistance and beneficiary travel aid for round-trip transportation to and from the clinic if they meet the eligibility criteria. Tupelo VA Clinic is part of the VA Memphis Health Care System and coordinates care with other facilities within this system to ensure veterans receive the services they need for improved well-being.
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.
