About

About Hershel Woody Williams VAMC

Hershel Woody Williams VA Medical Center sits at 1540 Spring Valley Drive in Huntington, West Virginia, named in honor of the Medal of Honor recipient and longtime West Virginia veteran. The campus is the substance use treatment hub for the Huntington VA Health Care System, serving veterans across southwestern West Virginia, southern Ohio, and eastern Kentucky. SAMHSA lists the facility’s full continuum: medical detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient programming, all dual-accredited by the Joint Commission and CARF.

The treatment population mirrors what a regional VAMC must absorb: male and female veterans, older adults, pregnant veterans, court-ordered admissions, and veterans living with HIV/AIDS. Trauma and PTSD treatment runs through the curriculum, which is critical for a population whose substance use frequently begins as self-medication for combat exposure or military sexual trauma. Cognitive behavioral therapy anchors the clinical methodology, supplemented by group work, peer support, and trauma-informed care.

As part of the VA Capitol Health Care Network (VISN 5), the medical center coordinates with the broader Huntington VA Health Care System for primary care, mental health, and specialty referrals. Telehealth services, confirmed by SAMHSA, allow rural Appalachian veterans to access counseling and medication management without long drives. The facility’s location in Wayne County puts it within reach of underserved rural communities where private addiction treatment is scarce.

Veterans enrolled in VA health care typically pay nothing for substance use treatment at the medical center, and TRICARE is accepted for eligible dependents and retirees. Sliding-scale options exist for veterans without enrollment. The main switchboard is (304) 429-6741, with addiction services reachable at extension 3136. Reviewers rate the medical center 4.2 stars across more than 170 Google reviews.
