William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital is a full service hospital located in Madison, Wisconsin.

They also treat people who struggle with mental health issues and addiction issues at the same time.

They offer both in-person and virtual appointments. They offer a special program for veterans called the Addictive Disorders Treatment Program.

When you start your addiction treatment, you will be assigned a case manager and a therapist will give you a full evaluation. They provide group and individual therapy. The staff can prescribe medicine for detox symptoms and for psychiatric needs as well.

In addition to cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, therapists here offer motivational enhancement therapy which is specifically designed for people who struggle with alcohol use disorder.
