About VA Northwest Health Network – Vancouver, Washington

The Vancouver VA Medical Center is a comprehensive medical center within the VA Northwest Health Network. This location is in Vancouver, Washington, in the Rose Village neighborhood and just off I-5. They have numerous healthcare services and specialties for veterans and their families, including addiction recovery.

The VA has an extensive treatment program for drug and alcohol addiction and this campus has every level of care you could need. They can help you detox and get you started on your recovery. They have residential rehab as well as intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and outpatient therapy.

People with addiction need different levels of care at different stages of recovery. Thanks to this facility’s full continuum of care you can get your treatment from the same campus at each stage along the way.

One aspect of this facility that I found especially impressive is a facility on campus called Fisher House. Fisher House has accommodations for families whose loved ones are inpatient at the hospital but it also has a residential rehab program for drug and alcohol addiction. You’ll have 24 hour support during your program which typically combines medications with counseling and group therapy and addiction education.

They treat co-occurring mental health conditions too and they have a special program as well for veterans who have substance use disorder and are experiencing homelessness. Since it’s all within the VA system, they can coordinate your addiction and mental health care with primary care and specialists.

The client feedback for this VA center’s addiction treatment and particularly for Fisher House is excellent. Clients called this home a sanctuary where they felt safe and could focus on their recovery. Clients and their families alike said that this program was effective and gave them an opportunity to live a healthier and fulfilled life after addiction.
