Alexandria VA Medical Center

About Alexandria VA Medical Center – Pineville, Louisiana

Alexandria VA Clinic is located in Pineville, Louisiana. It’s a veterans addiction treatment center that helps veterans and their families who are suffering from drug and alcohol misuse disorders. They also have primary care and social services.

They aren’t just limited to that, though. They also treat co-occurring mental health conditions through their dual diagnosis program. Veterans may face heaps of trauma during their time in the military, so it’s important for clinics that specialize in treating veterans to offer this service. Some mental disorders treated may include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia. Oftentimes, addiction can go hand-in-hand with mental disorders and they can stack on top of each other until it becomes almost unbearable for the individual to recover alone.

It’s also possible for someone to require the assistance of medication in order to detox in a safe manner. This clinic may offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) to some individuals who may require it. This includes anyone who has such a severe addiction to drugs or alcohol that quitting on their own can become quite dangerous or, at the very least, extremely uncomfortable. This is why medications such as Vivitrol or Suboxone are available to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and limit cravings to a manageable point.

This clinic also offers specialized services to anyone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community. One example of such services includes hormone therapy. There are also women’s services, such as military sexual trauma treatment and maternity care. On top of all this, they of course offer some essential counseling options, including individual therapy, group therapy, and marriage or relationship counseling.
