About Northport VA East Meadow VA Clinic
If you’re a veteran struggling with addiction or substance use disorder then the East Meadow VA Clinic in Minnesota has various behavioral health services you can access on an outpatient basis. Referrals are needed for an appointment at this VA clinic but same-day help is available in cases of emergency.
Also, telehealth appointments are there for people who can’t get to the clinic in person, connecting clients to behavioral health specialists from anywhere. The VA also provides self-help services including smartphone apps and a Virtual Training Program which has lots of useful tips and strategies for coping with daily stressors and triggers without substance use.
VA Health is well experienced with the unique issues faced by veterans that can contribute to the development of a substance use disorder. Care plans are tailored to each client and usually include a combination of individual, couple, group, and family therapy, readjustment counseling, addiction education and job support. If clients need further support, such as medicated assisted treatment for chemical dependency, detoxification, or residential treatment then referrals can be made to another VA facility within the network.
Treatment for clients with a dual diagnosis is available at most VA clincs. This means that clients can get treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions like depression, PTSD and anxiety at the same time. Psychotherapy services are available alongside medications to help manage mental health symptoms.
