The George H. O’Brien Jr. VA Medical Center in Big Spring, Texas helps veterans who struggle with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use. They offer both inpatient and outpatient care, along with support for chronic pain and co-occurring mental health issues. Serving rural West Texas, they make care accessible through in-person and telehealth services. The center uses therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group counseling, medication management, and trauma-informed care. These treatments help veterans manage symptoms, build healthy habits, and heal from trauma. Their team of doctors, therapists, and social workers work together to create a care plan that fits each person’s unique needs. Veterans can also access home-based care, peer support programs, and help with housing, jobs, or benefits. The center focuses on long-term wellness, not just short-term treatment. With services reaching over 30 counties, they make sure veterans—especially in rural areas—get the support they deserve close to home.
