About Jersey City VA Clinic

Located in Jersey City, New Jersey, this branch of VA Healthcare provides outpatient treatment for behavioral and mental health disorders. They offer treatment for substance use and addiction behaviors and have experience in addressing co occuring mental health disorders, like depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder. It’s great that VA Healthcare benefits can be used with private insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid. Plus, those without coverage or are struggling to pay may be eligible for VA financial hardship assistance.

Outpatient treatment is specialized to the unique needs and challenges faced by former and current service men and women. Tailored care plans typically include group and family therapy, individual counseling, readjustment counseling, education, employment counseling, and medication management when appropriate. Clients with more complex needs or a severe substance use problem may receive a referral for inpatient treatment.

Veterans often face many barriers to accessing treatment, so I really appreciate that same day help is available at all VA Healthcare Clinics. Plus, veterans who find it difficult to make it to the clinic in person can access treatment remotely via telehealth, an online self help portal, and a smartphone app.
