About VA Illiana Health Care System Mattoon Community Based Outpatient Clinic
Based in suburban Mattoon, Illinois, the Mattoon VA Clinic offers military veterans and their families a range of healthcare services. This includes social support and treatment for mental health issues and addictive behaviors. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and other private insurance plans.
For individuals who may be struggling with their mental health, or who simply need to talk to someone — you’re in the right place. The team here can support you, using a range of methods including therapy, alternative treatments, and medications where deemed necessary.
Support begins with consultations and assessments, followed by treatment for a variety of mental and behavioral health issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger management issues, relationship problems, self-harming behaviors, addictive behaviors, and substance misuse. This goes beyond drugs and alcohol. One of their specialties is helping you kick any tobacco or smoking habits.
Social work is also integrated here to support individuals in finding VA community resources to help with finances and housing troubles. They can also help with advance care planning, arranging home health services, legal services, as well as community living, and even helping organize transport for clients who may struggle to access in-person services. If you’re interested in outings to complement your recovery, the clinic is pretty close to Kinzel Field, where you can play sports or just relax outdoors.
The team is also on hand to answer any questions clients may have about treatment. They’ll provide reassurance to individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed by the recovery process.
In terms of what former clients have to say, feedback is mixed. However, based on recent remarks it appears that the clinic’s services have vastly improved over the years, with clients describing how the team is on top of its appointments, and can seamlessly refer individuals to local specialists where needed.
