About Durham VA Health Care System Hillandale Road VA Clinic
Former and active service personnel can access outpatient treatment services for substance use disorders and other mental health conditions at the Hillandale Road VA Clinic in a quiet corner of Durham, North Carolina. Referrals are required for mental health treatment at this VA Clinic but same-day help may be available even without enrolling in VA healthcare. Telehealth appointments are available for mental health issues for clients unable to make it to the clinic in person.
Outpatient addiction treatment is personalized to each client’s unique situation, additional mental health symptoms, severity of substance use and recovery goals. As trauma often goes hand-in-hand with substance use disorder in veterans, all VA clinics also specialize in trauma-informed care. Treatment plans are modified in real time as each client’s disorder changes during recovery.
Care plans will consist of a combination of individual, couples, and family therapy, group counseling, readjustment counseling, addiction education and vocational training. If additional services are needed like medication assisted treatment (MAT) for chemical dependency, staff at Hillandale Road can refer clients to other clinics in the VA network that offer more extensive substance use services including residential treatment.
If you’re looking for recreational therapy to unwind and clear your mind, Indian Trail Park is not far away. The West Ellerbe Creek Trail also features opportunities for exercise and leisurely strolling.
What’s great about VA Clinics is the way they coordinate care, meaning that Veterans can also access additional healthcare services at the Hillandale Road location. Services available include lab testing to identify health problems and illness management, pharmacy for prescription medications and supplies, and primary care services such as immunizations and vaccinations.
