All-Inclusive Care For Substance-Dependent Veterans
Helping veterans recover from substance use and manage co-occurring conditions is central to the clinic’s outpatient mental health care. If you’re facing these challenges, you’ll benefit from an all-inclusive care plan combining medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with psychiatric support, nutritional therapy and case management.
This begins with a detailed intake assessment to shape a personalized recovery plan that may include prescriptions for FDA-approved medications like methadone or buprenorphine. These medications ease withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings, giving you the clarity to build strong relapse-prevention strategies while addressing underlying emotional issues through therapy.
Psychiatric and Nutritional Support
Psychiatric medication management helps you navigate co-occurring mental health conditions and maintain emotional stability while nutritional counseling supports your overall wellness and healing. You’ll have access to social workers who’ll connect you with essential VA community resources like jobs and housing. They’ll also help you navigate VA benefits and build a strong support network for long-term success.
