El Paso VA Health Care System – Las Cruces Veterans Clinic

Las Cruces Veterans Clinic is out in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It’s a branch of the El Paso VA Health Care System, which has a few locations in the region. They specialize in behavioral health care services for veterans, military members and their families, including addiction treatment. Here, you’ll find outpatient programs to help you overcome your challenges and reclaim your quality of life. They accept private insurance, self pay and military benefits. If you’re a bit short on funds, financial assistance is available.

I like that this clinic offers same day support so there aren’t any long wait times to worry about. They’ll even take you if you aren’t enrolled in VA health care. If you need help with drugs, their multidisciplinary team will work with you in individual or group counseling services. They’re skilled in treating many conditions that can affect your mental or emotional health. When you first visit them, they’ll conduct an initial consultation to understand your needs. Then, they’ll create a customized treatment plan just for you.

During your counseling sessions, you can talk about your struggles. Your peers and your coordinator will help you identify your triggers so you can start learning life skills to ward off temptation. They can also help you address co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.

Some clients say they’ve been going here for many years and have received consistently good care. However, others have been dissatisfied with the level of support they’ve received.
