About Fort Detrick VA Clinic – Frederick
The Fort Detrick VA Clinic, in the same region as the Martinsburg VA Medical Center, is located in Frederick, Maryland. This outpatient clinic provides mental health care, addiction treatment, medical services, nutrition support and more.
At the VA you can use VA coverage to pay for service connected care. Non service connected care can be covered using other insurance, including Medicare or Medicaid or private plans.
One of the things that makes the VA unique is that you can access a wide range of services in one location. For example, a veteran can get help with substance use treatment, a co occurring mental health disorder, and any illnesses that might have resulted from substance use all in one place.
For example, veterans can get HIV and Hep C testing and treatment and wound treatment while also getting treatment for addiction and PTSD. It’s common for substance use to cause physical symptoms, so being able to handle everything at once saves time and helps restore patients to full health more quickly.
In addition, the VA provides social workers to connect veterans to solutions for basic needs, like housing support, financial assistance and employment training. Being able to coordinate everything at once helps avoid gaps in care or anyone falling through the cracks.
