About Colorado Springs Veterans Administration
PFC Floyd K. Lindstrom Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, offers primary care and various specialty healthcare services. This includes substance abuse rehabilitation and mental healthcare services. They even address dual diagnosis. Their program options include outpatient and inpatient care. It all depends on your unique conditions. You can qualify for care even if you’re not enrolled in VA healthcare. It’s especially great that they accept Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE. Financial help is also available through VA financial hardship assistance.
Inpatient care takes place in their safe and conducive residential treatment facility and is ideal if you’re dealing with severe addictions requiring intensive therapy and 24/7 medical care in a structured environment. Their flexible outpatient care serves those with mild addictions or substance use disorders.
The facility prioritizes individualized treatment through counseling and group therapy. Their recovery approach may also incorporate medication assisted treatment. This technique uses FDA approved medicine and counseling to treat substance abuse. Their outpatient mental healthcare program involves consultation, evaluation and individual and group therapy.
They can help you deal with addiction and various mental health conditions. This includes depression, PTSD and anxiety. They even handle marriage and relationship problems. These are often connected directly or indirectly to mental health issues or addiction. They offer same day appointments, telehealth visits or walk in express care for emergency behavioral health issues.
Beneficiary travel perks may be available for in person treatment if you’re eligible. This includes round trip transportation from your home to the medical center, mileage reimbursement or special mode transport. They also offer homelessness support, unemployment assistance and educational programs. Comments from past clients reflect slightly mixed experience with the majority acknowledging the facility’s quality care.

Levels of Care
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. Linden Oaks' Residential Stay Program offers additional support for those who may benefit from a structured living environment. A patient's stay may vary from a few days to 30 days ago. The program includes group, family and individual counseling.
Outpatient
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.
