About VA Clinic RiverHead – Riverhead
Northport VA – Riverhead Clinic is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Riverhead, New York. They treat veterans for substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder. They also treat people who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition at the same time they are suffering with addiction issues.
The psychotherapists here are trained in dealing with the specific needs of veterans. They offer a full assessment to determine the treatment that is best for you. Veterans who have seen combat often have post traumatic stress disorder. They will self-medicate with substances and make matters worse. The trained staff can provide medication designed for PTSD. They can also give you medication if you are trying to detox but are in too much pain.
You can walk in and they will provide help right away. They offer both individual therapy sessions and group therapy. Your personal therapy will be customized to your situation. Talking to other veterans with PTSD can help you feel less alone. You’ll also get tips for coping mechanisms that may work for you. One thing I liked was that you did not have to be in the VA health care program to get assistance with mental health.
