An Integrated Care Model & Outpatient Services
The center operates on an integrated care model as part of the Unified Behavioral Health Center, which exists as part of a collaboration between the VA and Northwell Health.
Detox services aren’t specifically available here, but the team can support clients by referring them to sites in the VA network that do provide these services. For safety reasons, detox must always be done under professional supervision.
Primary care and comprehensive mental health services are provided and include specialized care for individuals struggling with substance abuse. Treatment services available include medication management services alongside individual, group, and family therapy.
Same-Day Accessible Care For Veterans
Hit the ground running with same-day services, available for both mental health, addiction treatment, and primary care services. The building is also wheelchair-accessible, which is great to see, allowing disabled individuals to more easily access in-person care.
Dr. Robert A. Petzel, VA’s Under Secretary for Health, says of the center’s treatment approach, ‘We’re here to treat complex human beings’, going on to emphasize that bringing clients’ families into the recovery process is something they’ve recently started doing, with excellent results.
As for what former clients have to say, many have praised the clinic’s cleanliness, and the professionalism and compassion displayed by its staff.
