About Bay Shore VA Clinic – Bay Shore
Northport VA – Bay Shore Clinic is a community based outpatient mental health care facility in Bay Shore, New York. They offer outpatient services for eligible veterans and their dependents experiencing co occurring disorders, like mental illness and addiction. Admission may be free for some veterans.
Patients may receive prescription medication, speak with a psychotherapist, and learn about potential ways of addressing material needs there, including shelter for indigent veterans. They also offer support to families and caregivers.
Some may benefit from a visit to a psychologist familiar with the particular needs of veterans who have been in combat. Addressing the trauma triggers, learning acceptance and new ways of thinking, and having access to a supportive, like minded group are the non medical options there.
They also have bereavement counseling and help for people who have experienced other trauma or mentally trying conditions of service. The overall consensus from former patients is quite pretty positive, though one patient has complained that the lack of organization made receiving care more challenging.
Some said that the place was clean and that they liked their doctor. Another person said that the staff’s demeanor could serve to train other clinics within their wider network, which would be beneficial to everyone.
