Mental Health Services

Many VOA Oregon participants are challenged by trauma and other mental health issues in addition to their addiction issues. VOA Oregon ensures that they receive the care they need through providing counseling services with Qualified Mental Health Professionals (QMHPs) who understand the complex inter-connectedness of these issues, therapeutic groups in which participants learn skills that enable them to cope with these issues, and referral to community providers for ongoing care.

The services of a Licensed Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Naturopathic Doctor are available on-site to provide assessment, psychopharmacological therapy, and alternative treatments such as acupuncture. Medication management is provided by milieu staff.
