The facility provides counseling support and equips veterans with the tools to tackle this condition and live a healthy life. They prioritize confidential and individualized outpatient treatment that focuses on meeting your unique needs. Services include consultation, evaluation and individual and group therapy. The therapy group may be based on clinically proven practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) that promote emotional regulation.

The goal is to help you address negative emotions or behavioral patterns that trigger behavioral challenges and develop solid coping strategies against such triggers. You may be taught anger and stress management, effective communication, internal conflict resolution and problem-solving. These essential life skills prevent relapse and help you stay sober. The program may also include medication management if necessary to support those with co-occurring disorders.

This facility boasts many commendable features. They support same-day appointments and walk-in express care for emergency health issues. Their comprehensive and secured telehealth support also enhances accessibility. This encompasses video conferencing and home telehealth services.

They even provide secure store-and-forward telehealth that lets you securely send or receive health information to and from VA facilities. Accessing care from the comfort of your home optimizes convenience. You may even qualify for care without enrolling in VA health care.

Their social support services are also highly beneficial. Through their social workers, you can be connected to community resources like housing, employment support and financial aid. This can make for incredible recovery support after receiving treatment from the facility.

You may even get help with transportation to and from your appointment if eligible. This can further save costs.
