Cadillac VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic

About Cadillac VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic

Cadillac VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Cadillac, Michigan, provides tailored treatment plans for veterans struggling with substance use disorder and related issues. Treatment is delivered in an outpatient setting, with services available for veterans with a dual diagnosis (a substance use disorder and a behavioral health condition at the same time). A referral is required at this location, but in urgent cases a same-day appointment may be available.

Trauma-Informed, Veteran-Focused Care

Veterans often face unique challenges that contribute to their substance use, such as difficulties readjusting to civilian life, homelessness and PTSD. Personalized treatment plans are tailored to these issues by using trauma-informed treatment approaches in therapy. Treatment includes readjustment counseling and connecting clients to social and community services.

Medication Assisted Recovery

Getting free of substances alone is tough, so I appreciate that clients don’t need to be substance-free to enter substance use treatment. Medication assisted recovery is available at many VA Health locations, so clients can receive medications that reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms. This helps clients wean off illicit substances in a controlled and effective way, which allows them to better engage in the psychological aspects of treatment and improve recovery outcomes.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
Outpatient

In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
Aftercare

Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.
Dual Diagnosis

Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.

Detox Service Setting

Inpatient Detox

Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment.
Outpatient Detox

Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
