Veteran-Centered Substance Use Treatment

Addiction care at Carl T. Hayden VAMC spans same-day walk-in drug and alcohol evaluations through outpatient, intensive outpatient, and 24-hour residential rehabilitation.

The CARF-accredited Domiciliary Substance Use Disorder program provides an integrated residential setting for adults needing focused and structured support.

Treatment relies on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and medications for alcohol, opioid, and tobacco use disorders.

Veterans also gain access to mutual-help groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and SMART Recovery with counseling available to address root causes of substance use.

Integrated Care for Co-Occurring Conditions

The VA residential framework coordinates addiction treatment with mental health care for Veterans facing trauma or co-occurring psychiatric needs.

Beyond clinical services these programs help address related social needs such as employment and housing supporting whole client recovery and long term stability.
