Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Veterans
Substance use recovery is an integral component of the mental health services provided in this clinic. This makes sense because veterans often struggle with substance dependence resulting from past combat trauma and difficulty adapting to civilian lifestyles. Co-occurring disorders are also common, where veterans struggle with substance dependence and mental health issues at the same time.
Many veterans don’t even realize when they’re dealing with these conditions. That’s why it makes sense to visit this clinic for assessment if you suspect your pattern of substance use is impacting your wellbeing.
If your assessment indicates a need for outpatient care, you’ll receive support through a personalized care plan that includes group and individual therapy. Your tailored care may also involve prescribing FDA-approved meds via medication assisted treatment. This helps you manage withdrawal symptoms and lower the risk of relapse by keeping you focused on your recovery. Psychiatric support may be provided as well if you struggle with co-occurring conditions.
Support for Daily Needs
You can also lean on their nutritional counseling to help you nourish your body with balanced meals. It’s a way to restore your strength, lift your energy and support healing from the inside out. This holistic approach fosters general wellness of the mind, body and spirit. You’ll be linked to VA community resources via social work to address needs like housing and employment. This ensures stability as you move forward.
