The center provides residential detox, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), inpatient (IP), outpatient (OP), and aftercare programs for veterans and their families. Specialized services are available for seniors, homeless/indigent persons, the LGBTQ+ community, and underserved communities.

At Fresno VA Medical Center, clients have a structured environment to begin their sobriety. In residential medical detox, licensed clinicians administer FDA-approved prescriptions, including methadone, buprenorphine, naloxone, Naltrexone, acamprosate, disulfiram, topiramate, bupropion, and varenicline to ease withdrawal and reduce cravings. Clients are supervised 24/7 and undergo dual diagnosis approaches to address co-occurring mental and behavioral health disorders and prevent relapse.

After detox, clients transition into inpatient or outpatient programs that can include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational enhancement therapy in individual and group settings. Social services are also available for homelessness, food security, and career coaching. The center may make referrals to outside facilities and programs.
