About Wm. Jennings VAMC – Spartanburg CBOC – Spartanburg

Veterans seeking accessible primary medical care or mental health support including substance use recovery can receive tailored care at the Spartanburg VA Clinic. This outpatient integrated care clinic is situated at North Grove Medical Park Drive in the North Grove neighborhood of Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The clinic fosters affordable healthcare by accepting Medicaid, Medicare and Tricare. You can even receive financial and transportation aids if you meet their eligibility criteria. This commitment to low-cost care ensures even indigent veterans can receive life-saving medical assistance when necessary.

The Spartanburg VA clinic offers confidential and recovery-oriented outpatient substance use treatment that sets veterans on a path to lasting healing. Veterans with dually diagnosed substance use and mental health challenges can benefit from their recovery services as well. You can visit them for consultation and assessments if you feel like your pattern of drug or alcohol use is impacting your health or ability to meet your responsibilities at work or home.

You’ll attend individual and group therapy as part of your tailored care. This is geared towards equipping you with practical skills that encourage sobriety and prevent relapse. Veterans with opioid use issues may also receive medication-assisted treatment. This technique involves the prescription of FDA-approved medications to help clients manage painful withdrawal symptoms. Clients will then attend counseling or therapy to take care of the psychological or emotional aspects of things.

They may link you up with VA community resources as well to address needs like housing, employment and education and transportation as you move forward. This ensures stability and keeps you on track with your recovery goals.

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.
