Atlanta VA Medical Center

About Atlanta VA Medical Center – Decatur, Georgia

Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center is located in Decatur, Georgia, offering addiction treatment services and resources to veterans who are suffering from substance use disorders and dual diagnosis. Issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety can go hand-in-hand with addiction in many cases, and this is especially true for veterans who have suffered a lot of trauma. It’s nice to know that virtually all veteran clinics take this into account and treat mental health issues in addition to addiction. Unlike some other VA centers, this clinic is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. They also have services like community support, health maintenance, nutrition counseling, and specific support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Their programs offer some very important treatment options in individual counseling and group therapy. In many cases, individual counseling can be a very cathartic way to open up to your therapist about past experiences and learn from them, including identifying triggers and pinpointing the root causes of your issue. Group therapy, as the name suggests, gives you some peer support and helps you learn from the experience of others.
