Cincinnati VA Medical Center-Fort Thomas

The Cincinnati VA Medical Center’s Ft. Thomas Division provides primary care and specialty health services for military personnel, veterans, and their families, including addiction recovery treatment for adults. They offer inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, and aftercare support. Specialized services are available for adolescents, young adults, seniors, the LGBTQ+ community, homeless and indigent persons, and persons with co-occurring disorders.

Their inpatient treatment program allows clients to begin their recovery journey in a safe, supportive, and medically supervised environment free of distractions and temptations. As you physically remove yourself from addictive substances, you’ll engage in services to better understand the psychological aspect of your condition. This may include rehabilitation, health maintenance services, and engagement with community support groups. A multi-disciplinary team of providers will work with you to assess your needs, progress, and recovery goals. Then, they’ll create a customized treatment plan that may include individual and group therapy, addiction education, relapse prevention and life skills training, medication management, and similar services.

If you’re ready to transition out of inpatient care or don’t require as intensive of a program, you can participate in outpatient services. These may be the same services as inpatient treatment, but clients can attend them while living at home and tending to personal and professional responsibilities.

Their aftercare program may include connections to local, community-based providers that can offer long-term recovery support, such as peer support groups, health and wellness services, and vocational training.

In addition to military benefits, they may accept most major insurance plans. Contact your provider to check your coverage because out of network benefits can vary. Financial assistance is available.
