About Fort Harrison VA Medical Center – FORT HARRISON
Fort Harrison VA Medical Center is a veterans addiction treatment center located in Fort Harrison, Montana. They treat veteran men and women who are suffering from drug and alcohol misuse and want to recover with the guidance and supervision of medical professionals.
Unlike many of the other VA clinics, perhaps the biggest benefit here is that they offer multiple levels of care. Whether you’re looking for inpatient or outpatient treatment, you’ll find what you need here. Inpatient or residential treatment means you’ll be staying there for a certain amount of days or even weeks under the medical supervision of their staff. These are professionals who can monitor you and ensure that you stay safe while recovering.
If you need outpatient care then they have you covered there too. The benefit of outpatient treatment is that you’ll be able to return home after sessions, giving you time to maintain your work and home life, or any other outside obligations you may have.
If your addiction has reached a level of severity that concerns you then you can be treated with medication-assisted treatment or MAT for short. This process, which utilizes medications such as Suboxone and Vivitrol, can help by reducing the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and cravings, making it much easier to reach sobriety safely.
They also offer dual diagnosis care for individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders. This is fairly common, especially when dealing with the trauma that can come from time spent in the military. Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, can make it even more difficult to recover on your own. They also offer individual, group and marriage counseling.
