About VA Western NY Healthcare System – Jamestown Community Based OP – Jamestown

Jamestown Community-Based Outpatient Clinic, part of the VA Western New York Healthcare System, offers several mental health services for veterans designed to provide support in a community-focused environment.

The clinic is one of several across the region set up as part of access standards intended to bring healthcare services closer to where veterans live which would enable them to visit larger VA facilities. The VA Western New York Healthcare System collaborates with veterans on the type of care they require and usually partners up schedules with insurance companies to lessen costs.

Jamestown makes it a priority to ensure clients receive mental health care. Their services are designed to treat veterans with depression or anxiety through PTSD and other mental health conditions. This is holistic, as they consider the health and wellness of every veteran individually to structure treatment plans best suitable for them.

This may consist of individual therapy, group therapy and some supportive services such as medication management. The clinic staff is committed to providing compassionate care while offering a safe space that recognizes the particular issues veterans face.

If someone is primarily seeking programs for substance abuse, the clinic in Jamestown can also help. This counseling and treatment program is designed to allow veterans who struggle with substance abuse, an opportunity on the road to recovery.

These programs are part of the larger mental health services so that veterans get taken care of including their both substance use issues and behavioral problems.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
