About Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System

John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans' Hospital is part of the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System Little Rock in the river city of Little Rock, Arkansas. They offer primary care alongside various specialty care services. These include addiction/substance use care and mental healthcare. Their substance use care helps veterans tackle everything from unhealthy drinking to serious addiction. They offer outpatient and inpatient treatment.

Inpatient care takes place in their residential facility. It is highly structured and involves intensive therapy with 24/7 support from their clinical team. This is ideal if you're dealing with severe addiction. You should consider their outpatient treatment if you’re struggling with mild addictive behavior or stepping down from inpatient treatment. This is more flexible since you can receive treatment without disrupting your everyday routine. Both programs may incorporate medication assisted treatment into your personalized care plan. This technique uses meds approved by the FDA alongside counseling to support opioid recovery.

This facility can treat co-occurring disorders as well. This may form part of their confidential mental health care. A co-occurring disorder is when someone struggles with both addictive behavior and mental health conditions. This may include conditions like PTSD, anxiety and depression.

Their psychiatric services include consultation, evaluation and individual and group group therapy. Therapy groups use proven treatment methods to help you navigate negative emotions fueling your substance use. The goal is to build strong coping skills that help you avoid relapsing and maintain sober living. It’s great that they’re able to match their counseling, therapy and meds to each veteran’s unique needs.

Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness can benefit from their homeless veterans care. This program offers transition and permanent housing, financial support and job training. You can also find a job through their veteran readiness and employment programs. This initiative provides vocational assistance, supported employment and transitional work. More helpful community resources that can help your recovery are available through their social services.

I like that this facility is LGBTQ+ friendly and even offers specialized care for this vulnerable veteran community member. Services range from hormone therapy to alcohol/drug treatment, HIV/STI testing and mental health care. They offer a safe, welcoming and affirmative environment where these groups can access care.

The best thing about this facility is that their services are low cost. Plus they offer multiple funding options including Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE. This makes it easy to pay for services. Their telehealth services also make accessing care easier and more convenient for everyone. They even offer same-day help and accept walk-in express care for emergencies.
