About Shavano Park VA Clinic – San Antonio
Located in San Antonio, Texas, Shavano Park VA Clinic is a drug and alcohol addiction clinic that serves veterans who are struggling with addiction. They also treat co-occurring mental health disorders, which can include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD and schizophrenia. Addiction and mental health can often go hand-in-hand, and with the intense trauma that our veterans may face during their time on active duty, it’s no wonder that these clinics proudly offer dual diagnosis treatment options.
The level of care at this clinic is limited to outpatient care. If you require inpatient or residential treatment, you will need to be referred to a nearby clinic that offers that level of care. Still, there is plenty to benefit from here, including medication assisted treatment (MAT), which can help reduce symptoms caused by withdrawal and even cravings that can make it difficult not to relapse while you recover. These medications can include Suboxone or Vivitrol.
They provide special care to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community by offering unique options like hormone therapy. You can also get access to health maintenance services, community support and counseling.
Counseling at this outpatient center can take many different forms. You can receive individual therapy, group therapy and marriage or relationship counseling. All of these options can play a major role in your recovery by giving you the chance and the tools to identify triggers that are causing you to relapse. You’ll also learn coping skills to help combat addiction and handle your past traumas in a healthy and effective way.
