About VA Butler Healthcare – Butler
VA Butler Healthcare – Abie Abraham VA Clinic is an addiction treatment clinic for veterans residing in the Butler, Pennsylvania, area. This extends to any drug or alcohol addiction, but also includes co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and schizophrenia. This is a fairly common issue in the veteran community, as many veterans deal with intense trauma during their time on active duty. Fortunately, these clinics are mostly dual diagnosis centers that offer this type of treatment.
They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT), which is very helpful for those with severe addictions to drugs like opioids or alcohol. With certain drugs like these, the withdrawal process can be extremely taxing and even dangerous. Taking medications such as Suboxone or Vivitrol can help reduce the amount of withdrawal symptoms you experience and the intensity of them, as well as uncomfortable cravings that may plague you during the detox process.
This center only offers outpatient treatment options, but they’re still open 24/7 and offer a nice range of counseling options to consider and benefit from. These options include individual therapy, group counseling and marriage or relationship counseling. While it’s not an extensive list, just these three pillars of treatment can dramatically improve your condition and your relationship with addiction. During individual therapy, you’ll get the chance to meet weekly with a professional therapist who can help you navigate the waters of your past that may have traumatized you. You’ll also learn how to identify triggers that bring you back to addiction and learn new coping skills to help you prevent relapse.
