Montana VA Health Care System – Missoula CBOC

Montana VA Health Care System provides a community based outpatient clinic (CBOC) in Missoula, Montana. The facility, the David J. Thatcher VA Clinic, provides inpatient addiction treatment for veterans and family members. They offer a variety of physical health services at the facility as well.

Along with medical and addiction treatment, you can get a variety of additional services at this CBOC. For example you can get senior care if you’re older, which provides services to help you stay as active and independent as possible.

They also provide care for homeless veterans to help them find housing and relevant social services. This VA has treatment for sleep disorders and can provide telehealth visits as needed. This can be helpful for those who live further away from the center or who lack transportation.

Your addiction treatment program may also include medications to mitigate withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, which in turn reduces relapse and the risk of death from overdose.

Medications approved by the program include those used for opioid use, alcohol use disorder, and tobacco use disorder. Opioid use disorder medications may include methadone, buprenorphine, or a combination product like suboxone.

Alcohol use disorder may include disulfiram and Naltrexone, and options for tobacco use disorder include nicotine replacement therapy and bupropion. They accept VA coverage, private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare. They also offer sliding scale payment assistance when you qualify.
