About Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center
Veterans and active service people needing support for behavioral health disorders like addiction issues can access treatment at the VA Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They don’t have a department just for addiction treatment. But they do have behavioral health services that can tackle substance use issues and co-occurring mental health disorders. A referral may be required.
Outpatient care isn’t just tailored to your specific needs. Rather, they’re made especially for the issues that many veterans face. Treatment typically includes peer support, individual and group counseling, and medication management to help treat the symptoms of mental health disorders such as low mood or anxiety.
If you need stronger assistance for any addictions, referrals for residential treatment may be provided in severe cases. The great thing about the VA system is that they're all linked, so even if your local clinic doesn't have a specific program, they can quickly get you to a specialist in their network.
This locale offers more than just clinical care. There's a range of holistic treatments for your body, mind, and soul. These include yoga and tai chi classes, meditation and mindfulness training, and massage therapies. Plus, veterans who struggle to get to a VA clinic in person can attend appointments from the comfort of their homes via telehealth or use the excellent online self-help portal. Check 'em out to help get back to your community and loved ones.
