Cincinnati VA Medical Center – Substance Use Disorder Program

The Cincinnati VA Medical Center on Vine Street provides substance use disorder treatment for veterans at residential, intensive outpatient and outpatient levels, within the VA health system. Its residential facility works on more than the substance use itself: 24-hour care there addresses homelessness, mental health and unemployment alongside addiction, which is what distinguishes a VA domiciliary program from a standard rehab. The campus also provides mental health care, PTSD treatment, homeless veteran care, caregiver support and primary care, and works with Disabled American Veterans and county veterans affairs directors to arrange transport. Care runs through VA benefits — Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted here — with private and military insurance, public assistance and self-pay also recorded.
