About VA Texas Valley Coastal Bend Health Care System Laredo VA Clinic
The Laredo VA Clinic is a veteran exclusive outpatient addiction treatment and mental health clinic in Laredo, Texas and operating as part of the VA Texas Valley Coastal Bend Health Care System.
It offers substance use disorder care, intensive outpatient services and outpatient therapy along with primary care, lab services and social work.
No Cost Care for Veterans
Eligibility at the Laredo VA Clinic is limited to veterans enrolled in the Veterans Healthcare System and that restriction also provides value to people who need it most.
Certain services including lab testing are free for enrolled veterans and some fees are offered under a sliding scale depending on the service rendered.
For a veteran weighing this clinic against a private facility the practical difference is the cost structure and population focus.
Programming is built around veteran specific needs including PTSD, trauma and co occurring disorders.
The team includes dedicated tracks for homeless and indigent veterans, seniors and LGBTQ+ veterans. N
Connecting to a VA Network
The Laredo VA Clinic is one of nine locations in a system covering 20 counties across deep South Texas with clinics in Corpus Christi, Harlingen, McAllen and Laredo feeding into a VA health care center.
That matters for levels of care the Laredo center doesn't provide on its own.
The system includes residential programming for veterans dealing with substance abuse, homelessness and unemployment.
You can start with intensive outpatient in Laredo and transition within the same coordinated system rather than transferring records to an unrelated provider.
The system also runs an active research mission that veterans can participate in.
