About Newark VA Clinic – Newark
Located in Newark, Ohio, you’ll find the Daniel L. Kinnard VA Clinic, a VA treatment center for veterans. You can also find help for mental health issues, primary medical care, and social work services. The VA can also refer you to treatment options for addiction, including integrated care for co occuring substance use and mental health diagnoses.
Veterans face experiences that most civilians will never understand, which is why common mental health conditions include depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many times these conditions are a result of trauma experienced during your service.
Another common service at the VA is medication-assisted treatment. With medications such as Suboxone and Vivitrol, among others, and the careful supervision of medical professionals equipped to help you, you can detox safely, and you can also take them longer term to maintain your stability during treatment. This can help reduce the risk of relapse while you lay a foundation for long term recovery.
While other VA clinics may offer inpatient or residential care for those individuals with more severe cases of addiction, this specific clinic only offers outpatient care. You can get counseling for drug or alcohol misuse, a referral to more intensive care, and help with a co-occurring condition. You can receive individual counseling, group therapy, and marriage or relationship counseling.
