 | | The goal of the Substance Abuse Treatment Program (SATP) is to engage addicted veterans in a program of care that promotes abstinence from alcohol and illicit substances, decreases their medical and psychiatric risk, and improves their psychosocial functioning. |
 | | Through this continuum of care the following services are delivered: individual, group, and family therapy, substance abuse education, health education, vocational counseling, HIV counseling, detoxification, opioid maintenance, antabuse and naltrexone treatment, halfway house placement, psychological and neuropsychological assessment, psychiatric evaluation and management, and 12-step meetings. |
 | | In addition, specialized services are available for dually diagnosed patients (patients with a major psychiatric disorder and a substance use disorder) and senior veterans (veterans over 55) with a substance use problem. |
