Dayton VA Medical Center Review
The Dayton VA Medical Center (DVAMC), located in Dayton, Ohio, serves veterans who are grappling with substance abuse and mental health disorders. The rehab facility is situated in a separate building a few steps from the main medical center, guaranteeing that good medical care is nearby if needed. Opened in 2010, the 28-day residential treatment program uses an evidence-based model.
Accommodations and Food
In the residential treatment area, the units are gender separate and each double-occupancy room has a hotel-like feel with a bed, nightstand and dresser for each resident in addition to a shared bathroom. There are also multiple media rooms with lounge areas and TVs.
Unlike many rehab facilities, residents may bring their own cell phones and Wi-Fi is being installed so residents can also access their laptops. An on-site gym can be used during free time.
Meals are served cafeteria-style with a large variety of foods including a robust salad bar for those mindful of health and waistlines.
Treatment and Staff
The residential program uses evidence-based techniques including CBT and Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET). Clients have both individual and group therapy with either a psychologist or social worker. Dual diagnosis support is available for up to two months. The Dayton VA offers SMART Recovery rather than a 12-step program.
A physician visits residents three times a week. The average staff-to-client ratio is one-to-18.
In addition to residential treatment, DVAMC offers an outpatient program, which meets for an hour three days a week, and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that meets three days a week for a total of nine hours.
Aftercare is provided for up to 12 weeks.
In Summary
DVAMC is a viable option for military veterans seeking help with their addiction. The facility offers a well-rounded substance abuse program and comprehensive nearby medical care. There is no charge for veterans once they are enrolled in the Dayton VA program.
