Lebanon VAMC

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Lancaster is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Lancaster, 4.4 miles away.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Lancaster is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 13 named here.

Willow Street has 4 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Willow Street, because a wide age range often still means one room.

The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

The number quoted is almost always the first block, and the whole arc of treatment runs longer than that block. The stretch after the main program usually runs far longer than the program did, and it is the part people underestimate. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
