About Menlo Park VA Medical Center
Located in Menlo Park, California, VA Palo Alto Healthcare System Menlo Park offers outpatient and residential addiction treatment and mental health care for veterans, military members and their families. Services include medication assisted treatment, dual diagnosis care, and referrals to social services such as housing services and employment support.
