About VA Marion Health Care

Located in Marion, Illinois, the Marion VA Medical Center is a comprehensive medical facility for veterans. This facility offers a variety of medical services including inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment and mental health care. One unique component of this VA is the specialized programming available for women veterans, minority veterans, and LGBTQ+ veterans.

Youā€™ll be matched with the appropriate services after a thorough assessment. During treatment youā€™ll engage in counseling, psychiatric care, medication, and group therapy. Services will also help you with case management, homelessness, and mental health care. This healing program also includes community support and health maintenance.

During treatment, youā€™ll set and achieve personal goals. While in therapy, you will uncover your personal motivations for change. Youā€™ll learn how to refuse substances with a problem solving approach. Methadone, naloxone, and naltrexone are medications that will be used to treat withdrawal symptoms and reduce drug cravings. Another unique thing about this facility is they provide nicotine replacement therapy if you need it.

Former clients of the Marion VA say the facility is clean and the staff is amazing. Other former clients say this facility is disorganized and uninformed.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs provide a full continuum of care for clients who are exiting inpatient treatment. Though outpatient care is often considered an element of drug rehab aftercare, services typically continue for the remainder of the clients' life and long after formal treatment is completed. Clients work with their case managers and care team to formulate a customized portfolio of medical, mental health, and social service resources designed to evolve as the client's needs change.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

nutritional-therapy iconNutritional Therapy

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

My boyfriend went here, as recommended. My advice (as someone battling a rare long term cancer), do NOT waste your time, gas or energy going here. Their staff is unqualified. My boyfriend is having issues with his lower back and sides, and he has been drinking nothing but water the past two days. They did the BARE MINIMUM. A urine test and blood work. Which is not good enough care! They could not give any answers, refused to even give him IV fluids, refused to give a CT scan when asked. They did absolutely NOTHING!!! If something is seriously wrong (which could be the case, as my man does not complain about issues like this ever. He sucks it up and goes on about his day). Never again will I allow the bare minimum towards someone I love. What a waste of time, money in gas and energy! He is still in pain! They just Told him to go home and drink water, couldn t give a diagnosis, because they refused to find the issue and resolve it!! Of course they couldn t, as bloodwork and a urine test won t show if there is something severely wrong. Save yourself, and just go to a normal ER. At least they will provide you with ACTUAL care. This facility and all of their staff should be fired and shut down for how they treat people who have served for this country, and how UNINTELLIGENT and LAZY they are!!! Refusing to figure out and solve the issue is RIDICULOUS!!! What a joke this place and their staff is!!!

My cousin was recently a patient at the community care living center in Marion. The staff treated him as though he were family and kept me informed of everything on a daily basis.

Absolutely garbage! "Smart" attitude when you asks questions, and will lie to you about capabilities and authorization for appointments just to say they booked you and provided you "care". Embarrassing display of absolute garbage people, acting entitled, because they know we have no other options. Disgusting.

BEST VA I have been to. LOVE THESE GUYS!Every other VA I have visited has been absolutely abysmal, just Kafkaesque, eg Ashville VA departments cannot even call each other for technical reasons WTAF?The Marion VA however is run so well it should be used as a model for every other VA hospital in the country.
