About International Plaza VA Clinic – Nashville
International Plaza VA Clinic serves veterans in Nashville, Tennessee and neighboring communities. This outpatient facility offers primary care, specialty health services and social support services. You can benefit from their mental health care if you’re struggling with behavioral issues like depression, PTSD and addictive behavior or substance misuse. They may also help you handle dual diagnosis. This is when you struggle with both mental issues and substance use disorders.
There’s nothing wrong with these behavioral conditions. They’re common after military service, especially for those involved in combat. However, you need to address them to live a more healthy and productive life. This facility offers personalized, confidential and affordable outpatient therapy that fosters lasting recovery. Their programming involves consultation, evaluation and individual and group therapy.
They may offer outpatient detox after evaluation and before the main therapy if your symptoms necessitate that. This is a great way to safely manage withdrawal while you maintain your daily activities. It doesn’t involve 24/7 monitoring in a highly structured setting like an inpatient or medical detox program. You’ll still check-ins with medical professionals to monitor progress and make any needed adjustments.
Their individual and group therapy may use proven models like cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). These models promote positive thoughts, emotions and feelings that help you tackle negative or unhealthy habits like substance misuse. The goal is to equip you with healthier coping skills that encourage sober living and prevent relapse.
Group therapy makes your recovery journey less lonely and more fun. You’ll connect and share experiences with other vets facing similar behavioral challenges. This can inspire lasting friendships that last beyond the treatment. Peer interaction also improves self confidence and helps you communicate better. This can make your recovery easier.
The best thing is that you can access this therapy virtually thanks to their secured telehealth services. This includes video conferencing and home telehealth support. Accessing therapy from the comfort of your home can be super comfy. They may use meds when necessary to help manage symptoms and support your overall recovery.
Their social support services really support your recovery efforts long term. This may range from help with financing or stable housing to employment assistance, legal aids and community living. These services complement your treatment and overall recovery journey.
The facility accepts various private and public insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE. You can also pay out of pocket in person, online and via mail if you’re uninsured. I like that you can qualify for care even if not enrolled in VA health care. They even offer same day help and support walk-in express care for urgent health. Past clients greatly commend the facility for quality care.
