About Cedar Park VA Clinic
Their mental healthcare addresses common mental health conditions. This includes PTSD, depression and anxiety. It also includes support for veterans facing substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions. The latter is when someone is dealing with both addiction and mental issues simultaneously. These conditions result from stressful or adverse situations that characterize military life.
The treatment aims to help veterans address such traumatic and addictive behavior and live a productive life. The services include consultations, evaluation and group and individual therapy. Through the therapeutic sessions, you can better learn to address the underlying personal issues fueling your behavioral challenges and build sound coping strategies against the triggers.
You’ll also learn effective communication techniques and how to manage anger and stress. Emphasis is on relapse prevention and maintaining lasting sobriety. Medication assisted treatment or alternative therapy may be provided if relevant to your recovery.
Their smoke cessation program can be very beneficial if you’re struggling with quitting smoking. They provide support and strategies that may complement optional nicotine replacement therapy. These may include FDA approved meds to manage nicotine withdrawal and the urge to smoke. This is supported with in person/ phone counseling to fast track withdrawal. There’s even a Tobacco Cessation Quitline for counseling and cessation strategies.
Their women’s services meet specific women’s needs like military sexual trauma, disease screening and mental health. The service may include wellness programming, family planning and menopause treatments.
The best part is that these services are affordable and have convenient payment options. This is because they accept Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE. If you’re uninsured and have financial challenges you can access aid via VA financial hardship assistance. You may even get help with transportation to and from your appointment if you meet the eligibility criteria.
The facility also supports same day appointments, telehealth visits and walk in express care for emergency health issues. As an aftercare service, they may connect you to VA community resources like housing, employment opportunities and legal aids.

The office staff was very good and kind, they would get a 5. I was there for my initial appointment, my nurse, Miss Vickie was awesome. She would get a 6 if that was possible. So why a two? The actual visit with the doctor was pathetic. I'm not sure how much time is alotted for an initial appointment, but we could have saved a lot of time if I could have filled out my medical history as well as medications prior to the visit. Every civilian provider I've seen in the past ten years actually asks that you provide this prior to your appointment. The VA does not. Needless to say, when you're over 65, you have a long history with a lot of information. By the time I gave the Dr. all the info, she said my time was up and she needed to go. I wanted to talk about a few things but all she told me was quit drinking. If I did that, all my ailments would go away. What I found really interesting is that she came by the exam room and said "okay, let's get started " and then went somewhere else in the building. The entire exam, if that's what you could call it, was like a teleconference. I saw her on a computer screen, and that's how she saw me. Very very impersonal. The nurse stayed in the room with me, not very private. As the end drew near, and I had given her my list of maintenance medications my civilian doctors prescribed, I ask if she could prescribe them through the VA so I wouldn't have to pay any out of pocket money. She said she didn't have time, but would "try" and do it later, but no guarantee. That is not an acceptable answer. I will not seek anymore treatment from the VA. Very disappointing for a 60% disabled veteran with 33 years of service. I'll stick with Medicare and Tri-Care for Life, thank you very much.
Friendly staff and good customer service.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
