About John J. Pershing VAMC – Pocahontas CBOC – Pocahontas
Did you know you can get drug and alcohol treatment at the same VA clinic where you go for primary care and other health care specialties? The Pocahontas VA Clinic is a medical center in Pocahontas, Arkansas that treats drug and alcohol addiction along with offering many other medical specialties.
This outpatient clinic can provide comprehensive and customized treatment plans for addiction recovery. And because it’s the VA they know exactly how to address the specific issues that impact military members and veterans and their families. They make sure your treatment plan is entirely catered to your specific needs.
Many people who get treatment here will receive medications like methadone or buprenorphine for addiction. With these medications you’ll have fewer withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This eases your body’s demands for drugs or alcohol so you can focus on healing the reasons why your mind demands drugs and alcohol too.
That piece is done through therapy. They offer group counseling and individual counseling so you can get the benefits of both.
