If you need help right now
If you or a veteran you know is in crisis, reach the Veterans Crisis Line. It is free and confidential, 24/7: Dial 988 then Press 1, text 838255, or chat at veteranscrisisline.net. In a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not search a directory in an emergency.
You do not need to be enrolled in VA health care to get help. The VA states that you can call or walk in to any VA medical center anytime, day or night, and you can call or walk in to a Vet Center during clinic hours.
Vet Centers and how to reach the VA
Vet Centers are community-based counseling centers, and they serve veterans, service members (including National Guard and Reserve), and family members. You can reach the Vet Center Call Center any time at 1-877-927-8387, and find a Vet Center near Fayetteville through the VA Facility Locator.
To reach VA mental health support generally, you can also call the VA at 877-222-8387. The VA notes it offers same-day services so it can address a need or schedule the right follow-up. This page is about how to reach help, not medical advice. For anything about your care, that is a conversation with a clinician.
