WM. Jennings VA Clinic in Rock Hill, South Carolina, provides outpatient mental health care and addiction treatment for veterans and active duty service members. Your VA benefits cover most services, so there’s typically no out of pocket cost.

Substance use disorder is a treatable mental health condition and the VA offers proven treatments that work for most people. Depending on your needs your treatment program might include therapy and/or medication or both.

A popular evidence based therapy used here is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT helps you face unhelpful thoughts and habits. If you participate in this therapy you’ll be given practical tools to manage cravings and reduce stress as well as regain control over your choices.

They also use other evidence based therapies including contingency management (CM). It’s a unique approach to addiction treatment where you earn rewards for sticking with your recovery plan. Small incentives can make a big difference! Many military members find contingency management helpful in their recovery journeys because it can fit in well with the military mindset of commitment and discipline.

If you suffer from opioid or alcohol use disorder they use medication assisted treatment (MAT). Medications used for opioid addiction treatment include methadone and buprenorphine (and its combination products like Suboxone) as well as injectable extended release naltrexone. For alcohol use disorder medications may include acamprosate or disulfiram. They can also use naltrexone or topiramate. Many veterans have shared how MAT has helped them regain control over their lives making it a valuable option worth considering.

The VA recognizes that recovery looks different for everyone. That’s why they offer harm reduction tools designed to keep you safer as you explore recovery options. You may be eligible for naloxone to reverse opioid overdoses and sterile needles to prevent infections as well as test strips to detect drugs with fentanyl or xylazine.
If you’re a veteran or active duty service member the VA is a solid option for addiction treatment. They offer proven treatment options to help you find what works best for you. Many have appreciated the compassionate care and resources available here making it a place where you can feel comfortable taking your next steps toward recovery.

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).

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

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.
