About Veterans Affairs Medical Center Substance Abuse Residential Rehab
The Veterans Affairs Medical Center Substance Abuse Residential Rehab in Salisbury, North Carolina is a dedicated substance use treatment program for Veterans, offering a full continuum of care including detoxification, residential rehab, and outpatient services.
This program is part of the broader W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center, providing a structured and integrated approach to recovery. With specialized tracks for co occurring disorders and populations such as homeless Veterans, the program is built on evidence based, trauma informed care tailored to Veteran experiences.
Comprehensive Veteran Addiction Treatment Programs
Treatment often begins with medically managed detox for alcohol, opioids, and other substances in a safe, hospital based environment. Veterans can then transition into residential rehabilitation treatment programs which offer a structured, live in setting to foster independence and mutual support during early recovery. I especially appreciate that you can make that transition within the VA system so you don’t have to change providers.
Medications Available for Detox and Maintenance
These programs utilize proven therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine or naltrexone. The treatment is designed to address both substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety, with a strong focus on relapse prevention and community reintegration.
This facility is Building 4 on the campus of the Salisbury VA Medical Center. The services are covered under VA health care benefits, but they also accept Medicare, military insurance like TRICARE, and private health insurance when needed.
I think it’s also noteworthy that in their addiction treatment programs, they also integrate other services that can help you get back on your feet. These services include vocational training, employment counseling, and critical housing assistance through programs like HUD-VASH. The facility holds accreditations from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and The Joint Commission.
