Questions people ask about Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Mental Health Service

Is Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Mental Health Service residential or day treatment?

Can any of this be done remotely?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Salem.

Who is Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Mental Health Service for?

Does Veterans Affairs Medical Center - Mental Health Service treat people who are pregnant?

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Salem is set up for it.

Is there anywhere else close by?

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Roanoke.

How do I pick the right place?

Marketing language is nearly identical across the field, so the comparison has to be made on specifics. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

What does the court need from the program?

Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. A deadline inside an order is easier to meet when the program hears about it on the first call. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.
