Perry Point VA Medical Center – VA Maryland Health Care System

You’ll find the Perry Point VA Medical Center in the city of Perry Point in Maryland. The Medical Center sits on a beautiful property near the Susquehanna River and one mile from the Susquehanna River Flats Fishing Bleachers. The VA offers comprehensive treatment for most of your health needs, including addiction and co occurring mental health disorders. They accept private insurance and VA military insurance such as TRICARE.

The VA offers evidence based treatments for substance use and mental health disorders. Therapies include individual, group, and family therapy to help you get to the root of your addiction. They offer medication assisted therapy (MAT) for addiction. They use harm reduction methods for clients not yet ready to give up substances.

I like that they offer palliative and hospice care for Veterans and their families here. It’s a difficult subject that they address with care. The palliative care treatment team works to improve your quality of life while reducing suffering.

They help you address the practical issues surrounding death such as a healthcare power of attorney, living will, and funeral arrangements. They’ll ensure you apply for your death and burial benefits. Too often people fail to address these issues, so I think it’s good that they offer these services for Veterans in the last stages of their lives.
