About Lyons VA Medical Center
Lyons VA Medical Center is a hospital for veterans located in Lyons, New Jersey. Its residential rehab programs include a treatment program for substance use disorder.
I want to note that they prescribe medication for alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder and tobacco use disorder as appropriate.
Who can book an appointment?
You can book an appointment if you're enrolled in both the VA health care system and you have to be a registered patient of the VA New Jersey health care system.
Who qualifies for homeless care?
Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans at Lyons VA Medical Center serves veterans who have mental health concerns and when their living situation doesn't support recovery.
I want to note that a free shuttle runs between the Lyons and East Orange campuses and two vans keep running Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET.
A counselor can see you the same day if you need help immediately or if another VA provider sent a referral, and the visit is open to new patients and to people already in care.
Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.
Acupuncture is one of the most popular luxurious and alternative therapies offered by rehabs. An acupuncture room provides benefits like pain reduction, improved sleep, a healthy immune system, and a decrease in anxiety.
When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Drug rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.
