The Tucson VA Medical Center is a primary care location that also offers accredited mental health, behavioral health services, and addiction treatment. You’ll find ’em located out in Tucson, Arizona. Care is available to adult veterans aged 18+ and their families regardless of their backgrounds. They accept TRICARE, Medicare, Medicaid, and other private insurance providers.

Whether clients arrive with mild or severe substance use problems, are at the beginning or nearer the end of their recovery journey, this center can help. Its carefully crafted personalized treatment plans are designed to meet clients’ specific needs.

Detox is available for those in the earlier stages of their journey, or simply anyone needing to get clean before committing to longer-term treatment. The detox process is typically medically assisted and monitored to ensure your maximum comfort and safety. Medicines used include FDA-approved methadone or buprenorphine to lessen cravings and tricky withdrawal symptoms.

From here, residential care is available to those in need of more intensive care; however, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) is also available for those seeking a more flexible option.

Intensive outpatient is better suited to individuals looking to maintain a regular routine that allows for work or study while they recover. Short-term outpatient counseling and therapy is available, as well as targeted marriage and family counseling for those who need it.

Self-help groups and relapse prevention resources are also available. It’s encouraged that individuals regularly attend and engage with these tools and services to get the most out of their recovery.
