About Merced VA Clinic
Merced VA Clinic is a community based outpatient clinic serving Veterans in Merced, California as part of the VA Central California Health Care System.
They offer care that treats addiction and depression, anxiety and trauma, schizophrenia and OCD, bipolar disorder and PTSD.
The clinic connects substance use concerns with broader Veteran mental health support, providing practical and accessible care designed around the unique needs of those who served.
Outpatient Addiction and Mental Health Care
The clinic's core focus is delivering outpatient mental health treatment that meets Veterans where they are, including support for addiction and co-occurring conditions.
Treatment often pairs addiction support with care for PTSD, trauma and depression, anger and grief, recognizing how these challenges frequently overlap for Veterans.
Counseling and tobacco cessation services including FDA approved medications, the SmokefreeVET text program and the Stay Quit Coach app, help address both recovery and underlying issues.
Dedicated Women Veteran Care
The clinic provides care for women Veterans, including mental health treatment and recovery support for military sexual trauma.
I want to add that additional offerings include maternity care and female specific medical services, all delivered within the trusted VA care model.
Next Steps
The clinic serves Veterans in person at its Merced location on East Yosemite Avenue, with virtual visits available for several services, including mental health care.
Veteran focused access supports include DAV van coordination and beneficiary travel benefits.
As part of the VA health system, I want to note that care is tied to VA eligibility with cost information listed as free in the visit-preparation details.
