Questions people ask about Tomah VAMC

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Onalaska, 1.6 miles away.

Are there other centers close to Tomah VAMC?

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Onalaska.

Does Tomah VAMC offer appointments by video?

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near La Crosse differ on it.

Can I bring my own medication?

The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.

Does medication replace counseling?

It means a doctor is involved and a prescription is part of what holds the first months together. The objection that it swaps one drug for another misses the mechanism: a stable prescribed dose does not produce a high and does not escalate. What you are already taking is part of this conversation, so bring the list.

How long is the wait?

Sometimes, and it depends far more on the level of care than on the center. A wait for residential care is not a wait for all care, and the lower levels often start sooner. Ask what can be started while you wait.
