About Columbus VA Clinic

Columbus, Mississippi is the birthplace of Tennesee Williams and is also connected to the Mississippi Blues Trail. Its historical significance makes it a popular tourist destination, and it’s also where you can find the Columbus VA Clinic. The clinic delivers outpatient mental health and addiction treatment to veterans and military members, along with other medical care.

To pay for VA care, you can use VA coverage if the treatment is service related. If the care isn’t service related, the VA accepts Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance plans.

Specialized Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Care for Veterans

All VA clinics have crisis services available for mental health or substance use disorders. This location also provides outpatient counseling for mental health concerns and addiction.

Veteran and military mental health gets a lot of focus because of the traumatic experiences that are inherent in war and military service. PTSD is common among veterans and the VA can provide specialized care for those needs, especially because many VA clinicians are veterans themselves and can relate to what you’ve gone through.

The Columbus VA clinic can also treat mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, anger, and grief as well as addictive behaviors. They provide same day care, and you may be able to get services without enrolling in VA health care.

If you need more intensive care, including detox or residential treatment, the VA can refer you to other VA locations or local community care providers.

Integrated Recovery with Primary Medical Care

This VA clinic also provides medical care for everything from injury to illness to immunizations. You can get physicals and support for a variety of medical needs.

I like that you can get addiction treatment and medical care in the same location, because some substances can make you more susceptible to infections or wounds, which can then be treated with coordinated care. It also makes it easier for your primary doctor to understand and be involved in your addiction recovery which I think is valuable for your overall health care.
