About Monroe VA Clinic – Monroe
The Monroe VA Clinic is located in Monroe, Louisiana. They’re part of the VA Shreveport Health Care system. Here, they offer primary and mental health care services for military personnel, veterans and their families. They’ll help you even without an appointment but you’ll need a referral from your doctor. You can pay through self pay, private insurance or military benefits. If you can’t quite cover the costs, financial assistance is available.
Something I like about this clinic is that they integrate mental health and primary care. Their multidisciplinary team is skilled in treating many conditions including addictions and underlying disorders, such as depression and anxiety.
At your first visit, they’ll conduct a quick consultation and evaluation. This gives them the chance to learn more about you and your needs so they can create your individualized treatment plant. You’ll attend individual counseling sessions to talk about your concerns as well as peer based recovery groups. This allows you to connect with others and learn healthy coping strategies for the future.
A few clients have experienced scheduling issues and long wait times. However, most are satisfied with the level of care they receive at this clinic. One said they’ve been going here for years and have always been treated with a lot of respect.
