This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

A community-based outpatient facility within the Salisbury VA Health Care System, serving veterans across the Charlotte region. They treat a wide range of health needs, with a strong focus on mental health conditions such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. Services include primary care, mental health counseling, laboratory testing, and an outpatient pharmacy. Levels of care range from same-day mental health appointments to telehealth services and coordinated referrals to specialty providers. The center's approach to care is built on evidence-based therapies that help veterans address both mental health and substance use concerns. Options include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), prolonged exposure therapy (PE), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Medication-assisted treatments (MAT) are offered for opioid use disorder, alcohol dependence, and depression. Veterans can also access social skills training and behavioral family therapy (BFT), which help improve communication, strengthen relationships, and build coping skills. These treatments are tailored to individual needs, helping veterans work toward personal recovery goals. Located on West Tyvola Road, the clinic provides practical resources that make it easier for veterans to receive care. The facility offers free parking, wheelchair availability, and transportation support through Disabled American Veterans (DAV) vans and beneficiary travel programs. Veterans who need specialized services are connected to the larger VA network for advanced care. The setting is designed to be accessible and supportive, helping veterans receive consistent treatment without unnecessary barriers to entry or follow-up.
