Atlanta VA Health Care System – Blairsville Clinic

Blairsville VA Clinic is a treatment facility located in Blairsville, Georgia. Here, they specialize in treating veterans who are struggling with mental health conditions and substance abuse disorders. They offer outpatient care and their services include primary care, family therapy, individual counseling, telehealth, medication management and social services. They accept Tricare, Medicaid and Medicare insurance.

Your therapist will complete a comprehensive evaluation during the intake process to help honor your needs and connect you to the most appropriate level of care. They will then discuss your options and develop an individualized treatment plan.

This may include connections to other healthcare agencies throughout the Blairsville area. Located two hours from Atlanta, this city offers many recreational opportunities and is great for veterans who want to engage in nature therapy. Outdoor areas like Brasstown Bald Mountain and Desoto Falls are especially popular.

I like that this facility incorporates holistic therapies to help you gain the tools to overcome past trauma and prepare you for challenges that can arise. Building self-confidence, developing coping skills, rebuilding trust, managing anger and learning how to regulate your mood will be some of the areas they will assist you with. They understand that military trauma can affect your mental and behavioral health, and they’re here to help.

Family therapy creates a safe space for you and your loved ones a chance to heal together. Vocalizing resentments and expressing concern can be very common among loved ones who may have been impacted by substance abuse. In family therapy, resolving conflict, building trust, strengthening healthier communication skills and creating boundaries will be some of the many areas that will be discussed.

Their social services can include linkages to local and community resources. Housing placement, food assistance, emergency shelter and employment assistance are some of the many services they can connect you to.
