About Akron VA Clinic – Akron, Ohio

Akron VA Multi Specialty Outpatient Clinic – Annex is an outpatient facility in Akron, Ohio. They offer primary care and multi specialty services. Among these are addiction rehabilitation and mental healthcare. They serve veterans affected by substance use disorders and mental health issues due to the challenging nature of their service experiences. This facility even provides smoke and tobacco cessation therapy for veterans struggling to quit smoking or chewing tobacco.

Their substance use care involves both inpatient and outpatient treatment. The inpatient treatment is provided in a highly structured and therapeutic setting in their residential facility. It involves intensive therapy and 24/7 monitoring by trained care personnel. This will be perfect if you’re dealing with severe substance use disorders. Otherwise, you should consider outpatient treatment which requires less therapy and offers you more flexibility. It allows you to receive therapy without disrupting your everyday routine. Both programs are centered on proven therapeutic practices delivered in individual and group sessions. Emphasis is on relapse prevention, solid coping strategies and life skills development.

Recovery may also incorporate medication assisted treatment. This is considered the most effective evidence based technique. It uses FDA approved medicine alongside counseling to treat opioid addiction. Buprenorphine based medicines, methadone and naltrexone are typically used to manage withdrawal symptoms. This enables the clients to undergo counseling safely. Overall, their comprehensive addiction treatment can assist you to overcome unhealthy alcohol use and life threatening addiction. They may even offer treatment for co-occurring disorders as part of their broader behavioral health services that encompass mental health care. The latter addresses common mental health conditions like depression, anxiety and PTSD in an outpatient setting. Services include consultation, evaluation and individual and group counseling.

This facility focuses on quality, affordable and individualized care delivery. They accept Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE. Veterans going through financial difficulties may be able to fund treatment via VA financial hardship assistance. They provide same day appointments and walk in express care for emergencies. You can potentially get help with transportation to and from your appointment if you are eligible. You may even be able to undergo counseling and medical assessment via their secured telehealth support system. Accessing care from the comfort of your home makes for flexibility and convenience. This is especially the case when dealing with chronic behavioral issues. Services may be accessible even if you’re not enrolled in VA health care.

Their social service is quite solid as well. Social workers can connect you to veteran community resources like housing, employment opportunities and financial aid. This can form part of their aftercare services. Others may involve referral to veteran peer support groups like AA or NA for ongoing support. Comments from past clients reflect an overall positive experience and excellent quality of care.
