They offer primary care services here along with mental health support. If you’re struggling with a cooccurring substance abuse disorder, there are services here that will help you.
You can come into the clinic at any time with or without an appointment.

This VA clinic can also refer you to more intensive support within the VA system like detox and medication assisted treatment.
They accept VA benefits here and can provide you with services like transportation to help you get to and from the clinic.
Veteran Focused Care
Because this is a VA clinic, you’ll work with healthcare professionals who understand the unique struggles you’re facing with your mental health or substance use as a veteran, regardless of whether these struggles were brought on during your time in service or not.
This sensitive care can help you feel more at ease as you work through what’s undoubtedly a vulnerable time in your life. Some of the ways you’ll feel supported are through trauma focused services, patient advocacy services, dietary support, and social work support available here.
Often, veterans in recovery might be experiencing homelessness, struggles in other areas of their mental and physical health, and other challenges. This VA clinic does a really good job of connecting you to the services you need to overcome these hurdles.
Referrals for Detox and Inpatient Treatment
If you come to the primary care or mental health department here and it’s determined that you need more robust services like detox or inpatient care, it’s easy to get referred to those programs.
The VA Southern Nevada Health Care System can connect you to inpatient treatment at one of their medical centers. You’ll find that there are other services available there for both you and your family so that it’s easier for you to get the care you need.
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.
-
PHP
Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive treatment in a structured setting during the day but allow you to return home at night. These programs offer a balance of inpatient and outpatient rehab and provide intensive support without full time residency.
-
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.
-
Intervention
An intervention is a structured and professionally guided conversation with an individual who is struggling with addiction. During the conversation, family and friends will encourage you to seek treatment. This is often a pivotal step for those resistant to getting help.
-
Sober Living
Sober living homes provide a supportive and substance free environment for you to live in as you overcome your addiction. Residents must follow house rules and support each other's recovery journeys. Sober living fosters accountability and stability during this critical phase of recovery.
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.
-
MAT
Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.
