Veteran Centered Addiction Programs
Care typically begins with consultation and evaluation through the medical center's behavioral health team, which can connect Veterans to the appropriate level of substance use care.
Options range from medically managed inpatient services to general and intensive outpatient clinics, with referrals coordinated through VA mental health services.
Veterans can expect medication treatment and therapy, peer support and trauma focused psychotherapy for PTSD.
Substance use treatment is integrated with care for co-occurring concerns such as military sexual trauma and TBI related issues, tobacco use and suicide prevention.

Levels of care
- Inpatient / residential
- Inpatient care creates real distance from the stress and triggers of everyday life. With that space in place, a person can give full attention to recovery.
- Outpatient
- If you picture the week ahead, outpatient care fills only part of it. Scheduled sessions across North Carolina leave room for everything else on your plate.
- Aftercare support
- Having family involved can mean joint sessions, shared goals at home, and steady encouragement through the ups and downs of early recovery.
- Co-occurring disorders
- Someone with a substance use disorder and a mental health condition may have medication management as part of care in North Carolina.
- Intervention services
- North Carolina families who choose this path do much of the work before the day. They work out what each person wants to say and practice the talk until it feels ready.
