BONHAM, TX -- As more and more veterans are diagnosed with PTSD, getting help has become vital to their health, even survival.
The Sam Rayburn Memorial Veterans Center has just opened up a new mental health outpatient clinic to offer more services to veterans who need them and who might be hesitant to seek help.
The new suite at the medical center in Bonham offers more space and privacy, something officials say will be beneficial to veterans with mental health disorders.
They say they've seen an increase in veterans and now that they have more space, they believe more will come forward for help.
Veterans will now have a new facility to help them through the challenges some say are even tougher than combat.
The Sam Rayburn Memorial Veterans Center opened a new mental health suite complete with more than 20 offices, giving officials more space to offer more services.
"Individual and group therapy for veterans dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, substance abuse disorder and addiction, and then areas that the VA call seriously mentally ill," says Dr. Steven Bender, clinical director of the mental health services.
