About VA Puget Sound Health Care System – Federal Way CBOC – Federal Way
The Federal Way Community Based Outpatient Clinic was part of the VA Puget Sound Health Care System. This clinic was located in Federal Way, Washington and offered a range of healthcare services to veterans and their families including support for addiction struggles or co-occurring mental health struggles. Unfortunately, the Federal Way Clinic closed its doors after the VA Puget Sound Health Care System expanded its operation through a new clinic in the town of Everett.
However, the Vet Center in Federal Way is still open and can assist with mental and behavioral health issues.
The Federal Way Vet Center offers counseling for veterans and their families. They offer assistance for mental health disorders and co-occurring substance misuse. If you are having a difficult time with grief or PTSD, they can be the first point of contact for you to get connected to other services within the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System.
There are different services that offer targeted care including addiction recovery, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and can refer you to inpatient care if you need detox. There’s also specialized care for members of the LGBTQ community, homeless veterans, and women focused care among other services.
Federal Way is a growing community, though it still retains that small town charm to it. This vet center is relatively easy to get to even if you don’t have transportation services. There are shuttle services including van services for veterans.
They also offer recreational activities around the center and about town. You might head out to Steel Lake Park to unwind and relax, or take in the exhibits at the Pacific Bonsai Museum. There are plenty of programs available at the center if you just want to stretch your legs and your mind.
