About Quincy VA Clinic – Quincy
Located in Quincy, Illinois, the Quincy VA Clinic aims to help veterans who are suffering from drug and alcohol addictions, as well as co-occurring mental health conditions. Offering dual diagnosis care to veterans is extremely important since many veterans face lots of trauma throughout their time on active duty. Some of the most common mental health conditions that can arise due to trauma include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, PTSD and bipolar disorder. All of these conditions may become entangled with your addiction and make it much more cumbersome to attempt to quit.
There are also some extreme cases of drug and alcohol dependence that may even make it dangerous to quit on your own. In these cases, this clinic offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) that is designed to help you reduce those withdrawal symptoms and lessen the severity of cravings. These medications may include Suboxone or Vivitrol.
This location offers both inpatient and outpatient care. That can be quite rare depending on where you look, so this is a definite bonus. Inpatient care means you’ll be able to receive 24-hour care by their team of medical professionals, while outpatient care allows for you to return home after sessions and only commit a few hours a week to treatment. The more flexible outpatient option can allow you to keep any other outside obligations.
At the heart of their programs are their counseling services. They offer individual therapy, group therapy and marriage or relationship counseling. All of these can help with trauma and help you learn coping skills for successful recovery.
