About

About Dayton VA Medical Center

Dayton VA Medical Center, part of the VA Dayton Health Care System, delivers comprehensive substance use disorder care for veterans at 4100 West Third Street in Montgomery County, Ohio. The facility is dual-accredited — listed by SAMHSA with both Joint Commission (JCAHO) and CARF accreditation — and is SAMHSA-certified as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), enabling on-site dispensing of medications for opioid use disorder.

The substance use continuum at Dayton VA includes medical detox, residential rehabilitation, intensive outpatient programming, and standard outpatient services. SAMHSA records confirm cognitive behavioral therapy is part of the documented clinical approach, with Medication-Assisted Treatment available through the OTP. Group and individual therapy form the core therapy modalities, supplemented by telehealth options for veterans across the VA’s service area.

The Dayton VA serves an unusually broad veteran population. SAMHSA documents care for pregnant veterans, young adult veterans (ages 18-25), older veterans (seniors), men, women, veterans with HIV/AIDS support needs, deaf and hard-of-hearing veterans, and veterans referred through the criminal justice system. Trauma/PTSD and co-occurring mental health disorders are integrated focus areas, reflecting the high prevalence of these conditions among veteran populations and the VA’s established expertise in trauma-informed care.

Payment for VA care is primarily through VA benefits and VA Healthcare coverage. SAMHSA additionally documents acceptance of Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and state insurance, broadening access for veterans with multiple coverage sources. Veterans can reach the Dayton VA Medical Center substance use clinic at (937) 268-6511, extension 3539, for scheduling and intake.
