About Lyons VA Medical Center – Bernards
Lyons VA Medical Center is a veterans addiction treatment facility situated in Lyons, New Jersey. They treat veterans who are struggling to live a sober life away from drugs or alcohol. They are also a dual diagnosis center and can simultaneously treat individuals who have co-occurring mental health conditions. It can be unfortunately common for some veterans to suffer from mental health disorders such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. This could in some ways be caused by the trauma they may have experienced during their time on active duty. Luckily, VA clinics such as this one offer accommodations and services for these such cases.
The level of care, however, is limited to outpatient care. This could be a positive or negative thing depending on your specific needs. If you require round the clock care, you may need to be referred to a different center that offers inpatient or residential care. But if you can still function well in your daily life, outpatient care gives you the opportunity to meet any outside obligations you may have while continuing treatment.
They also offer specialized services for members of the LGBTQ+ community, such as hormone therapy. Along with this, they provide health maintenance services, community support and counseling.
The counseling services at this outpatient clinic include individual counseling, group counseling and marriage or relationship counseling. All of these therapy options offer different benefits, but regardless, you will benefit greatly from learning different coping strategies, dealing with past trauma and learning to identify your triggers.
