About Brooklyn VA Medical Center
Located in Brooklyn, New York, the Brooklyn VA Medical Center offers outpatient treatment for veterans living with mental health conditions, including addiction.

Veterans can access extra support with the BeThere peer assistance program. It offers a way for service members, their families, and transitioning veterans to talk confidentially to peer coaches who have experienced similar struggles.
