VA Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System

The Sarpy County VA Clinic is an addiction treatment center. They used to be the Bellevue Clinic, but they’re now located in Papillion, Nebraska. They treat veterans and their families exclusively, helping to heal those with drug or alcohol addictions who can’t quit on their own.

They also help by providing dual diagnosis care, treating not just your addiction, but your mental health as well. Co-occurring conditions may be common in the veteran community due to trauma that is endured during one’s time on active duty. Some of these mental conditions may include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and perhaps most commonly, PTSD.

This treatment center may offer medication assisted treatment, too. If you’re looking to detox and feel that it may be too dangerous to do on your own, MAT can help you. Medications such as Vivitrol and Suboxone can be administered by a team of medical professionals in order to reduce withdrawal symptoms and any uncomfortable cravings that may arise.

This is an outpatient clinic, so any patient that attends treatment may return home after sessions are over. This is one of the biggest benefits of outpatient care, since many people have other obligations like work or school, or even children.

This center offers specialized services too like a program for those in the LGBTQ+ community, and special women’s services. This can include hormone therapy, military sexual trauma care, and maternity care. They also offer health maintenance and community support.

Finally, you’ll benefit from their counseling options, which include individual therapy, group therapy, and marriage or relationship counseling. With these, you can help identify triggers and learn new coping skills.

Referrals are required. If your conditions are acute, they may refer you to an inpatient center.
