The clinic is equipped to provide the highest level of care for veterans seeking help for diverse health issues. This ranges from primary healthcare needs to specialty services like mental health care, dietary care and oral surgery.

They offer specialized programs for homeless veterans and the LGBTQ+ veterans community. They provide programs for minority veterans and women veterans as well.
Their healthcare offerings are quite broad. The best part is that services are available at a low cost. They accept Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE. Financial aid may also be provided if you qualify.

VA clinics are mandated by federal law to provide comprehensive treatment for opioid addiction. This typically includes medication assisted treatment. So, if you’re dealing with opioid use issues, you’ll receive medication assisted treatment here. The technique uses meds approved by the FDA alongside counseling to support complete healing. Thankfully, they also offer pharmaceutical services. So you can easily get your prescription or refill without hassles.
Nutritional Counseling and Dietary Care
Eating balanced meals helps your body heal and regain strength after the damage caused by drugs or alcohol. That’s why the nutritional counseling provided by this clinic is so important. Through individual, group or telehealth sessions you’ll receive education on how to improve your health with good nutrition.
Social Support Services
This clinic offers a broad range of social support services to help you sustain or maintain lasting recovery. This includes access to safe housing, job placement and even financial aid.
