About Lafayette VA Clinic

Alexandria VA Health Care System Lafayette CBOC provides substance use disorder counseling and treatment for Veterans and their adult families in the Lafayette, Louisiana area. This program supports those who have served in our military at a low cost, often the same day, when urgently needed.

Mental Health Care Tailored to Veterans

I like that this facility will help you get the counseling you need for substance use disorder and any co-occurring mental health issues that you may be dealing with or that may be causing your substance use. This could be from post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety or depression. I think it’s important to note that outpatient services can be offered here, but if you require inpatient treatment or medical detox, you may be transferred to another location.

Integrating Addiction Treatment with Medical Care

At this facility, they offer a number of healthcare services so they can smoothly integrate your medical care with your addiction treatment. This includes dental services, optometry services and laboratory and pathology services as well as physical and occupational therapies and primary care including mental health. I appreciate that they also offer women’s care, radiology, and prosthetics and rehab services. For many of these services, you can participate in telehealth on the phone or through video.

Several former and present clients have said that the staff is great and understanding here, but communication is not always easy, as sometimes it is hard to get a call answered.

Addiction Recovery in Lafayette

Wondering what to do before or after your visit in Lafayette? They have 18 parks to choose from, as well as numerous walking and historical tours, over a dozen art galleries and three history museums. I think that there is definitely fun to be had here.

Rehab For Veterans

During Veteran’s rehab in Louisiana, participants often engage in individual and group therapy. Goals of therapy include creating strategies to cope with physical and emotional pain and developing positive decision-making skills.

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a form of psychotherapy commonly used in addiction recovery. Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), moral reconation therapy (MRT) helps clients recognize unhealthy and/or harmful thought patterns and to replace them with more positive and productive ones. MRT is designed to empower clients to make healthier life choices and to more effectively align their behaviors with their moral values.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

A typical Louisiana outpatient rehab offers a less-intensive treatment option. It is a good fit for those who have a moderate addiction and need accountability and ongoing relapse prevention support. Treatment includes therapy and support groups, and may continue to weeks or months, based on the individual’s needs.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Participating in Louisiana aftercare rehab is one of the best ways to prevent relapse after completing a reahb program. Aftercare programs provide support, counseling, and guidance for weks up to a year or more to keep you on the recovery path.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a mental health disorder, addiction treatment must look different than standard rehab. The program must address both your mental health and substance abuse disorders. Louisiana dual diagnosis treatment is designed to do just that.
