About

About Harry S Truman Memorial

Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital is part of the Veterans Health Administration’s Columbia, Missouri health care system, located at 800 Hospital Drive in the heart of Columbia. The hospital’s substance use treatment program serves veterans and qualifying beneficiaries within the broader VA care continuum, leveraging the resources of an integrated federal hospital system to support recovery from substance use disorders alongside related medical and mental health needs.

Clinical services include outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) programming structured around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The program is designed with veteran-specific concerns at its core: trauma and PTSD support, dual-diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions, and care pathways for veterans referred through the courts. Treatment teams operate within a Joint Commission accredited facility, and care is coordinated with primary care, psychiatry, and other VA specialty services on the same campus.

Because Harry S. Truman is a VA facility, the primary path to care is through enrollment in VA health benefits, with eligibility determined by service history. The hospital also accepts TRICARE for eligible family members and active-duty referrals, and standard payer options including Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are listed for applicable services. Telehealth visits are available for established patients when clinically appropriate.

For veterans considering treatment, the program offers continuity with the larger VA system: primary care providers, mental health teams, peer support, and community resources can be coordinated as part of an aftercare plan. Veterans and families should contact the substance use program directly to verify intake requirements, eligibility, and any wait times for residential VA referrals through the broader network.
