West Palm Beach VAMC – Vero Beach CBOC - Addiction Treatment Services

About West Palm Beach VAMC – Vero Beach CBOC – Vero Beach

Veterans give much to the country, so it’s only fair that they have an establishment where they can seek help with any mental health conditions and co-occurring addictions. In Vero Beach, Florida, that place is the West Palm Beach VAMC – Vero Beach CBOC.

This behavioral healthcare center is dedicated to helping veterans overcome their struggles with substance abuse. Those who decide to seek help at this VA center can expect to undergo counseling, group therapy and potentially medication management to help with specific needs.

The center is known for its inpatient and outpatient services and the type of service you choose to enroll in depends on your specific needs. For example, if you need round the clock care, the inpatient treatment pathway might be best, while those who only need help maintaining recovery might be better suited to outpatient care. With the outpatient treatment program, you can remain at home and attend the center when counseling and other rehab-related services are needed.

Veterans also have access to health maintenance services, community support and help with homelessness. Those in the outpatient treatment program often enjoy these services.

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).

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.
