About VA Illiana Health Care System Danville
Danville VA Medical Center is a comprehensive and affordable healthcare provider serving veterans throughout Vermilion County, Illinois. They’re nestled on East Main Street in Danville, just a mile west of the Stone Arch Bridge and Ellsworth Park.
This ranges from urgent and primary medical care to more specialized support like substance use treatment and smoking cessation programs. Danville VA Medical Center is able to deliver their broad range of services while maintaining affordability by accepting Medicaid, Medicare and Tricare. You may also qualify for financial aid and transportation assistance for round-trip appointments both to and from campus if you meet the eligibility criteria.
Support For Substance-Dependent Veterans
Danville VA Medical Center offers a full spectrum of personalized support for veterans struggling with substance use disorder or co-occurring conditions. Depending on your assessed need during intake, you may move through the whole care continuum. This begins with detox, a short-term procedure that helps clear substances from your body in a safe and supervised setting while preparing you for the next phase of recovery.
Once stabilized, you can transition into inpatient rehab, where you’ll receive 24/7 support as you develop the tools needed for long-term success through structured therapeutic exercises and education courses. From there, you may step down into outpatient care to continue building on your progress and maintain recovery in everyday life.
Medication-Assisted Recovery For Opioids and Nicotine Addiction
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be integrated into your care plan for both inpatient and outpatient care if you’re dealing with primary opioid use issues. This involves the use of FDA-approved medications like methadone, Suboxone or Vivitrol to ease opioid withdrawal and reduce cravings. If you’re also struggling with nicotine dependence, your care plan may include medications such as Zyban or Chantix to support smoking cessation.
This is followed by counseling to help you process underlying issues and develop healthier coping strategies. One client noted, “ I always receive great care at this VA hospital. Everyone is kind and encouraging to me and to my wife. The best VA hospital I’ve been to”
Levels of Care
