About Lawrenceville VA Clinic – Lawrenceville
Lawrenceville VA Clinic is an addiction treatment facility treating veterans who live in the Lawrenceville, Georgia, area. Anyone struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, including co-occurring mental health conditions, can benefit from their services. Often, veterans may struggle with mental health issues that stem from their time in active duty, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD or schizophrenia. This may expand the severity of addiction, which is why it’s important to offer dual diagnosis treatment in these settings. This clinic is open weekdays only. That’s because they only offer outpatient care. If you require round the clock care, otherwise known as inpatient or residential care, you may need to be referred to another clinic.
Still, while only offering outpatient care, they have a solid and fair amount of treatment offerings for those struggling with addiction. Aside from their counseling services, they offer health maintenance services and community support. For counseling, you can benefit from individual therapy, group therapy and marriage or relationship counseling. They also have specialized programs for those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Individual therapy and group therapy alone can be huge benefits on your recovery journey, giving you the tools to identify triggers, learn coping skills and prevent relapse. Group therapy gives you the chance to meet others in your situation who can help you overcome trauma and grow from your experience.
If you need to detox before your treatment, they do offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help ensure that you don’t experience any major withdrawal symptoms or uncomfortable cravings. Medications such as Vivitrol and Suboxone can help lessen these symptoms.
