About Miami VA Medical Center
The Bruce W Carter Veterans Affairs Medical Center, also known as the Miami VA Medical Center, is the city’s primary VA campus and the central location from which the county’s VA facilities are coordinated.
Here, military veterans, qualifying active duty personnel, and their families can access an extensive set of primary and specialty healthcare services, including substance use disorder and alcohol addiction treatments.
Comprehensive Services to Match Your Exact Needs
They offer addiction treatment services at several levels of care through their inpatient unit and outpatient clinic. This means that you can get access to evidence based psychotherapy, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and psychoeducational resources while being able to return home or while staying under 24 hour supervision, depending on what’s best for your recovery.
Beyond these benefits, their services are also geared toward helping service members in ways that are mindful of their unique circumstances and experiences. This includes help with conditions like depression, anxiety and PTSD, as well as other struggles like marriage or relationship issues and anger management.
Helpful Social Assistance for Veterans
Many times, veterans who struggle with addiction have problems with relational breakdowns, unemployment, and homelessness. That’s why this VA center also offers nutritional support programs and access to supportive housing programs for veterans, and has social workers on call who can help you navigate some of these practicalities in life after military service.
