Focus

This center treats mental health conditions and co-occurring substance use. You receive collaborative, individualized treatment that addresses both issues for whole-person healing.

The Albert Lea VA Outpatient Clinic provides confidential mental health treatment for veterans. Its outpatient care addresses conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, and bipolar disorder. For immediate needs, the clinic offers same-day assistance, ensuring veterans can access help without delay. This service offers direct and timely support for those facing acute psychological or emotional distress. Treatment centers on a "whole health" philosophy, creating personalized plans based on a veteran's unique values and goals rather than just their illness. This patient-focused method uses individual and group therapy to address personal challenges. The clinic also provides counseling to help resolve marriage and relationship problems, fostering a holistic path to well-being. To support overall health, the clinic integrates primary medical care with specialized services. Veterans can connect with providers remotely through telehealth, receive dietary guidance from nutrition experts, and manage prescriptions with on-site pharmacy support. Additionally, the clinic offers pulmonary medicine and social work to provide a full spectrum of care and connect veterans with community resources.
