About 436th Medical Group Dover Air Force Base
The 436th Medical Group - Dover Air Force Base in Delaware provides quality and low cost treatment for service personnel affected by mental health issues and substance use disorders (SUD). This program is only available to active duty service members and National Guard and Reserve members on active duty orders. The goal is to ensure medical readiness for both routine care and mission-critical situations. They also address dual diagnosis conditions for personnel dealing with both SUD and mental issues.
I like that they support walk-in services which can help streamline care in emergency situations. Their recovery program primarily involves individual and group psychotherapy and medication management. Group psychotherapy is all about connecting with other service members who are dealing with similar challenges in a supportive environment. It encourages open discussion where everyone can share experiences, listen to others and realize they’re not alone. This setting can help you build communication skills, work on trust and gain fresh perspectives on your struggles.
You’ll practice problem-solving and self-expression in ways that’ll boost your self-confidence and resilience. Plus the group’s collective insight and empathy can significantly help your recovery journey. Individual psychotherapy enables you to address personal challenges affecting your recovery with the help of your primary therapist. It’s a safe space to talk openly, set realistic recovery goals and learn tools for handling cravings or difficult emotions.
Inpatient residential care may be accessible if you’re dealing with more severe symptoms. This may involve withdrawal management followed by intense therapy with 24/7 support. The facility also offers family advocacy and support programs for new parents. These programs help families build stronger relationships and navigate challenges. They provide education, resources and counseling for parents and families. New parents can also get support with parenting skills and adjusting to life with a baby.
You'll also benefit from their case management services. This includes care coordination, advocacy and education. Your case manager streamlines appropriate uses of care and monitors progress for a desired outcome. They can also facilitate access to community resources that support your recovery. Specialized care services are available for active duty and dependent women.
These include pregnancy care, menopause therapy and issues related to the condition of the female organs. They may also provide routine women’s care, wellness exams and preventive treatment. The facility accepts TRICARE for most of their services including substance use and mental health treatment.
