Holistic Care For Substance-Dependent Veterans
Great Falls VA Clinic provides dedicated outpatient care for Veterans navigating substance use challenges and co-occurring disorders. This program primarily serves veterans with mild to moderate substance use symptoms. Those with more severe needs are referred to inpatient residential care providers within the Montana VA Health Care System.
Outpatient services are flexible and grounded in a strong understanding of the unique challenges Veterans face in recovery. Your personalized recovery plan, shaped by a detailed intake assessment, may include therapeutic support focused on building long-term resilience through recovery skills and relapse prevention strategies. You may be prescribed FDA-approved medication via medication-assisted treatment (MAT) if clinically appropriate to help you ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of relapse.
Helpful Services To Support Recovery
Psychiatric medication management services may be provided to help stabilize mood, manage co-occurring mental health conditions and support your overall recovery. You’ll also receive support from peer specialists who’ve walked a similar path and know what it takes to stay grounded in recovery. Through case management, you’ll be linked to VA-supported housing, transportation and other essentials that support long-term stability.
