About Malcom Randall Veterans Affairs Medical Center – Gainesville, Florida

Malcolm Randall Veterans Affairs Medical Center offers drug rehab services and other services to veterans who are living in and around Gainesville, Florida. They treat drug addictions, alcohol addictions and dual diagnosis conditions, which means anyone who suffers from co-occurring mental health conditions. I was very impressed with the range of levels of care offered here, which aren’t always offered at every VA clinic. They offer residential rehab care, ambulatory detox, intensive outpatient care and regular outpatient care.

Their focus on dual diagnosis is a crucial feature since veterans often struggle with both mental illness and addiction after returning home from their time on active duty. It’s common for veterans to suffer from depression, anxiety or PTSD. This dual approach addresses any substance use and mental health disorders concurrently, for optimal results.

They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) in their detox program. When addiction has gotten out of control, sometimes MAT is needed to ensure that the detox process is safe. Some withdrawal symptoms may cause dangerous effects, and these medications such as Vivitrol and Suboxone can greatly reduce the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

Their services also extend to providing specialized programs for those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. This may include hormone therapy. They also have special programs for minorities and women, including military sexual trauma care and maternity care. On top of this, you’ll find health maintenance services, community support and counseling services.

Their counseling services include individual therapy, group therapy and marriage or relationship counseling. All of these can drastically help you on your journey to sobriety by helping you identify triggers and deal with trauma.
