VA Maine Healthcare System – Lewiston / Auburn CBOC

I’ll always have appreciation for VA clinics because they offer much needed services to veterans in need. I especially have appreciation when they’re clinics like Lewiston VA Clinic in Maine, which boasts both inpatient and outpatient programs packed with beneficial services and therapy options for their clients. They don’t just focus on substance misuse here, they also target mental health issues and co-occurring conditions. They’re tucked away in a quiet corner in Lewiston.

Getting the obvious out of the way, you’ll get treated for addiction through individual therapy, group therapy, and even relationship or marriage counseling. On top of this, you can get treated for other things such as heart and circulation health through their cardiology department.

Their help with military sexual trauma can help survivors learn coping skills and talk things out through therapy. They also have a suicide prevention hotline that you can reach 24/7.

Some other services include their optometrist, who can help you by providing vision care, which includes eye exams and getting corrective lenses suited for you. They also provide PTSD care at this VA clinic, as well as access to a pharmacy that can help you with medication management, prescriptions, and pharmacist consultations.

You’ll even get help from a primary doctor who can guide you through general medicine questions and your overall health. This includes a laboratory and pathology unit that helps with blood tests and clinical testing for diagnostics.

They have whole health services that focus on holistic treatment, as well as women’s services that provide maternity care.
