About Peoria VA Clinic – Peoria
Located in Peoria, IL, the Peoria VA Clinic – Bob Michel Community Based Outpatient Clinic provides addiction treatment to veterans who are having trouble with drug and alcohol addictions, as well as co-occurring mental health disorders. This location offers outpatient care, which means you can return to work or home after a day of treatment. They are open Monday through Friday, so if you seek round the clock treatment or inpatient care, you may need to be referred to a different clinic. Their inclusion of dual diagnosis treatment is one of the main bonuses of these VA clinics because PTSD and depression are so common in the veteran community.
Their outpatient services also extend to include counseling, such as individual counseling, group therapy and marriage or relationship counseling. These three pillars of treatment have been proven to help many people on their path to sobriety and good mental health. Individual therapy will have you speaking to a therapist and uncovering past traumas and learning to cope with them. Group therapy will allow you to meet with fellow veterans who are also struggling, so that you can learn from each other.
