About Bay Pines VA Healthcare System Lee County Clinic
Lee County VA Clinic is located in a secluded corner of Cape Coral, near the Caloosahatchee River in Florida. They’re part of the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System. This facility provides a full range of behavioral health care for veterans and their families. This includes substance use treatment, mental health support, and PTSD care. They also provide social support services and telehealth care.
Their substance use care includes inpatient and outpatient treatment. Inpatient services may include supervised withdrawal management and inpatient therapy. This program takes place in a structured setting in their residential facility. Medication support is provided as necessary to facilitate lasting healing.
The outpatient care is suitable if you’re dealing with moderate to mild substance use. It can also serve as a step down treatment after inpatient therapy. It focuses on recovery skill building and coping strategies that encourage sober living and relapse prevention. It involves intense group and individual therapy sessions alongside educational classes on substance use.
The beauty of it is that you won’t have to live in their residential facility. Sessions are designed such that you can continue your job or family obligations while receiving treatment. Thanks to their secured telehealth support, you can even receive therapy virtually. They offer both video conferencing and home telehealth services.
Their PTSD care provides healing to veterans with symptoms of trauma. Victims of military sexual assault may benefit from this program as well. You’ll first undergo a thorough evaluation to assess for PTSD. Subsequently you’ll receive personalized treatment that can include trauma focused individual therapy and group sessions. They offer psychiatric and psychological counseling and medication management as well.
Their full spectrum of behavioral health care incorporates social support services like unemployment assistance and housing support for homeless veterans. You can access broader support services in their social work department. These range from financial assistance to home health care, transportation, and legal aid.
A particularly unique program available in this facility is smoking and tobacco cessation. They offer strategies to complement optional nicotine replacement therapy prescribed by your primary doctor. These may include FDA approved meds to manage nicotine withdrawal and the urge to smoke. They back this up with in-person and phone counseling to speed up your recovery.
