About VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System West Los Angeles VAMC

Located in Los Angeles, California, is the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System – West Los Angeles VAMC. This medical center works with veterans and their families, helping them with mental health struggles, addiction struggles and other medical healthcare needs they might have.

They accept policies from most major insurance providers including VA benefits. They also offer accessible care through their transportation services which can help you get to and from your appointments. Telehealthcare is also available for more flexible access to treatment. They are open 24 hours a day, offering inpatient and outpatient treatment.

Addiction Treatment Through Mental Health Support

Although this is a large-scale medical center that provides a comprehensive array of behavioral, mental and medical healthcare services, they don’t have a dedicated addiction or substance abuse recovery department as other VA medical facilities might have. Despite this, you can still receive treatment for addiction struggles you’re working through.

There’s a dedicated mental healthcare department here that provides assessments, diagnosis and access to treatment for any existing substance abuse or co-occurring mental health disorder you might have. If you need more robust services, you’ll get referred to another medical facility where detox through inpatient care is available.

The VA also provides medication assisted treatment (MAT). When you’re on an MAT track, you can check in with the behavioral healthcare team here to manage the MAT that will be used in your recovery plan.

Specialized Support

As a large scale medical facility, they offer a range of specialized services to address any coexisting struggles that might be at play. For example, there are specialized programs for homeless veterans who are working through addiction struggles. There’s also primary care that allows you to have an integrative treatment approach. Social work services are also available to help connect you to housing assistance, food support assistance and other social services within your community.
