Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

The center provides full-service care for Veterans facing physical and mental health issues. They treat conditions such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use, and long-term illnesses. The center offers both outpatient and inpatient care, along with services for Veterans who need rehabilitation or extended care. Support is available for many groups, including LGBTQ+ Veterans, women, and those facing housing challenges. Care is built around Veterans’ needs and available through the federal VA health system. The center uses a full range of therapies to support Veterans’ recovery and well-being. This includes individual counseling, group therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. For mental health, Veterans can access support for depression, anxiety, and PTSD through evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), as well as art therapy and peer support options. These treatments aim to help Veterans heal emotionally and physically while building skills to return to daily life with more stability and confidence. Veterans who need long-term care or recovery time can stay in extended care areas where they receive daily support. Services include help with medical needs, mobility, and personal care. Transportation is available for Veterans with limited access. Special programs are offered for homeless Veterans and those returning from service. The setting is designed to be safe and welcoming, and the care team works closely with each Veteran to make sure treatment fits their goals and situation.
