Just off Interstate 43 in Green Bay, the
outpatient clinic helps Veterans facing substance use disorder (SUD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. The center stands out for combining comprehensive medical services with specialized behavioral health programs, serving more than 15,000 Veterans from Green Bay, Iron Mountain, and surrounding communities.
Recovery is guided by evidence-based therapies such as
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), contingency management, and medication-assisted treatment (
MAT) for alcohol, opioid, and tobacco use disorders. These approaches reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and help Veterans reach personal goals. Counseling,
group therapy, and skill-building support are paired with whole health practices like mindfulness, yoga, and pain management strategies, empowering Veterans to take charge of both their health and recovery journey.
Veterans also benefit from unique recovery-focused programs addressing homelessness, unemployment, and reintegration after combat. Residential services combine health maintenance, community support, and 24-hour therapeutic care. Tobacco cessation programs, suicide prevention coordinators, and telehealth visits expand access to specialized support. Whole health services including tai chi and qi gong offer new paths for balance and resilience, giving Veterans tools to heal, rebuild, and sustain long-term wellness.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Milo C. Huempfner Department of Veterans Affairs provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
