VA Medical Center-Sioux Falls

About VA Medical Center-Sioux Falls – Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Royal C. Johnson Veterans’ Memorial Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota is a primary care facility that also provides social care and homeless veteran support services. Care is available to adult veterans aged 18 and older including those with dual diagnosis or concurrent mental health issues. Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE and other private insurance plans are accepted.

Clients don’t need a referral to be seen here and social workers and staff are available to support a range of issues. They aim to schedule appointments as soon as possible either at this facility or via referral to another VA center or even a local non-VA provider if necessary. If you have urgent issues then they can offer same day appointments and walk in express care. Telehealth options are also available for those unable to make regular in person appointments.

The center provides consultation, evaluation and eventual treatment for a range of mental and behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, personality disorders, relationship issues and self harming behaviors as well as addiction and substance abuse. Clients can access confidential individual and group therapy for these through outpatient or inpatient programs. Psychiatry and psychology services are available as well as specialized addiction treatment for those struggling with substance abuse. For more severe cases, residential drug rehab and treatment programs are available.

Transition and care management is also available for returning veterans as well as targeted services to support homeless individuals or those at risk of becoming homeless.

As for what former clients have to say, feedback is mixed but tends to skew positive. Some describe the facility as clean with great doctors and excellent, caring staff.
