VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System, Southeast Clinic

VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System’s Southeast Las Vegas VA Clinic offers outpatient treatment for substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders for veterans and their families. They’re located in Henderson, Nevada, near Las Vegas. This is an outpatient clinic that accepts in person appointments and has virtual appointments.

Treatment is provided for substance abuse as well as mental health conditions such as trauma, anxiety, depression, aggressive or self-harming behaviors, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, and bipolar. This facility offers medical care as well, if needed. They may have same day appointments available, but referrals are required.

This office offers virtual appointments to help you in the event that you can not come in or it is more convenient for you.

If you require detox services or a more intensive recovery service, you may be referred to another location or facility within the VA network.

They use evidence-based treatments and provide health maintenance and community support. They set up a program with you to help you reach your goals.

They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) as needed for opioid use, alcohol use, and tobacco use. These medications are to help with your withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Residential rehabilitation treatment programs may be available as needed.

They also offer counseling services. They want to help your recovery along by addressing the root problem that made you turn to substances to begin with. They’ll assist you with homelessness and unemployment, if needed.

I like how they tie in programs for substance misuse with other factors that can fuel an addiction. They have nutrition and health classes so that you’ll feel fit and stay active. They also have patient advocates who will work with you to make sure you get the treatment you need.

Some clients of this facility say that the staff is great and caring and they are quick and efficient with appointments.
