About The Lieutenant Colonel Charles S. Kettles VA Medical Center
The Lieutenant Colonel Charles S. Kettles VA Medical Center is the central hub of the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for veterans and their families facing substance use disorder. They have medications to assist with addiction to opioids, alcohol, and tobacco. Based in the beautiful Ann Arbor, Michigan, this location offers inpatient and outpatient care for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. Their care team can also provide assessments and referrals if you need a higher level of care.
The VAAAHS behavioral health department aims to provide support within a veteran context. The challenges that veterans face differ from those of the average citizen, and it’s important to have those differences acknowledged and considered when designing a treatment plan. For example, substance use in veterans frequently stems from unresolved PTSD, complex grief, or anger issues.
During individual or group counseling sessions, your counselor will help you work through these issues so you can regain control of your emotions and life. Between counseling sessions or medication top-ups, you can take some time to explore the beautiful nature parks around Ann Arbor. Partaking in gentle exercise like walking and being in nature are two great ways to regulate your nervous system – an important part of PTSD recovery. If you enjoy a scavenger hunt, you could also explore the city to find the iconic Ann Arbor fairy doors hidden around town.
Past clients have been impressed with the staff at this location. In particular, several of them expressed gratitude at the way the VA balanced the importance of family involvement without compromising the quality of care or comfort they received.
When receiving care for mental health or substance use disorder, it can be difficult to put boundaries in place that make it possible for you to focus on your recovery. The VA staff know how necessary it is to limit distractions and interference for some parts of your journey, and will help you navigate the challenges of communicating your need for space with well-meaning loved ones who don’t know when to step back.

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.
