VA center opens women's unit

by Emily Sweeney



Good news for local women veterans: A long-anticipated new residential rehabilitation unit has opened at the VA Boston Healthcare System's Brockton campus.

The rehab program is designed to treat women who have both posttraumatic stress and substance abuse disorders.

The highly anticipated, eight-bed, residential unit had been scheduled to open in January, but was delayed.

VA spokeswoman Diane Keefe said that finding mental health specialists to staff the ward around the clock took longer than expected.

But as of this month, the center is admitting patients, she said.

By Monday, four patients had been admitted to the unit, and another was expected, she said.

More changes are likely to happen in the near future.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has been looking at several ways to restructure the VA Boston Healthcare System and modernize its medical facilities.

Before he resigned last month, the secretary of Veterans Affairs, Jim Nicholson, proposed moving mental health services from the Bedford campus to Brockton.

A final decision is expected to be announced this month.
