About Veterans Affairs Medical Center Mental Health Service Chemical Dep Ctr
First established during the Civil War, the Veterans Health Administration built the first federal hospitals for the purpose of treating the nation’s armed forces. Today, the VA Mental Health Service Dependency Center -an extension of the Veterans Administration- operates within a network of healthcare facilities, offering a range of detox and substance abuse treatment services.
Drug and alcohol addiction has reached epidemic proportions, nationwide. The further along a drug or alcohol problem progresses, the greater the damage done to your quality of life. Once addiction develops, the rate of decline increases considerably as the drug’s effects take over your will and emotions.
Our staff of licensed professionals is committed to helping veterans and laymen alike break addiction’s hold off their lives. Regardless of how far along you are in the drug abuse/addiction cycle, the VA Mental Health Service Dependency Center is able to support your efforts to live a drug-free life.
Treatment Options
Finding a detox program that can address your specific treatment needs goes a long way towards ensuring your success in recovery. While abstinence from substance abuse is the primary goal of most any detox program, different program types offer different levels of support. The trick is to find the program that offers the level of support you need.
The Veterans Affairs Mental Health Service Chemical Dependency Center offers multiple levels of treatment support to accommodate each person’s specific treatment needs.

Other available treatment options include:

- Medication assisted detox therapies, including methadone, Suboxone and Antabuse treatment
- Intensive outpatient detox treatment
- Inpatient detox treatment
