About Eglin Air Force Base VA Clinic
Eglin Air Force Base VA Clinic is part of the VA Gulf Coast Healthcare System. This outpatient facility is located along Veterans Way in Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. They mainly offer primary care and mental healthcare. Their outpatient mental health services help veterans tackle common psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety and PTSD. They can also support you if you’re struggling with substance use disorders and even co-occurring conditions. The latter is when someone is simultaneously dealing with addictive behavior and mental health conditions.
The facility offers confidential and personalized treatment that leads to the best recovery outcomes. Their services include consultation, evaluation/assessment and individual and group therapy. The group therapy may draw from proven therapeutic models like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR. These help address negative emotions that influence your overall behavioral patterns including substance use.
Emphasis is on building strong coping skills that help you to stay sober and prevent relapse. Through peer interaction, you’ll learn to better manage your anger/stress, communicate well, build healthy relationships and improve your self-confidence. Individual therapy enables you to explore your thoughts, resolve internal conflict and set goals with the help of a trained therapist. This expert will monitor your recovery process and provide support as necessary. All these treatment help your overall recovery efforts.
I especially like that these services are affordable and they accept flexible funding options including Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE. You can pay out of pocket in person, online or via mail if you’re uninsured. Financial help is also available through VA financial hardship assistance. The facility also supports same day help, telehealth visits and walk-in express care for emergencies. You can even qualify for care if you're not enrolled in VA health care. They connect you to VA community resources that support your recovery after treatment. This may include transitional housing, vocational support and even medical care.
