About South Texas VA Health Care System North Central Federal VA Clinic
The North Central Federal VA Clinic is located in San Antonio, Texas. They specialize in treating veterans and their families who are struggling with mental health conditions, which can include substance abuse disorders. They offer outpatient (OP) treatment which include relapse prevention, anger management, along with individual, group, and marriage therapy.

For insurance they work with a variety of different insurances including Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE.
When seeking outpatient treatment they will do a consultation and an evaluation to determine what is most suitable for you and your journey of healing. Outpatient provides more flexibility for you to keep up with your week to weekly responsibilities like employment, family, or continuing education. Outpatient can range anywhere from two to four times a week which will depend on what your counselor recommends.
Individual therapy can give you that privacy and help create a comfortable atmosphere for you to discuss what is going on, what may be affecting you, or personal experience you don’t want to share with others.
Group therapy will be with you and your peers who also have similar experiences regarding the impact of substance abuse and being on the road to recovery. This can help you feel understood and set accountability for yourself and others. This is also a great way to receive support and develop communication and coping skills.
Social services available to you here can get you connected to a case manager and further assist with employment search, housing placement, and legal assistance. This can also encourage you to set goals for yourself and receive more support and can help provide linkage to local resources.
Transitioning into the journey of recovery can be overwhelming and what they do here is help smoothen the changes and new way of life you will be living and experiencing.
