About Polk Street VA Clinic – Dallas
Polk Street VA Clinic is located in Dallas, Texas. They treat veterans and their families who are suffering from drug and alcohol misuse. This treatment center specifically is an outpatient (OP) center, which means they treat people who can still function in the outside world without needing 24-hour medical supervision. If you need inpatient care, that’s totally understandable, and there are plenty of clinics nearby that offer those services.
This center also offers dual diagnosis care and medication assisted treatment, or MAT. Dual diagnosis services mean, essentially, that the clinic specializes in treating co-occurring mental health conditions, which can include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia. There are other conditions that this covers, of course; these are just some. MAT is important because it can lessen your withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings that may be tempting you to relapse.
This clinic also offers health maintenance and community support, as well as women’s services like sexual trauma counseling, military sexual trauma treatment, and maternity care.
The counseling services at this clinic include individual counseling, group therapy, and marriage or relationship counseling. There are several specific benefits to each of these services, but let’s break down each.
Individual counseling is sort of what it sounds like. You’ll meet with a professional therapist who can listen to your story, your past, and help you uncover things about your life that may be attributed to your addiction. They’ll also be able to help you learn coping skills and figure out ways to prevent any relapse from occurring.
