VISN 20 NW MIRECC


Clinical Objective
The Northwest Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center (NW MIRECC) improves the quality of life and functioning of Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its complex comorbidities by putting our research findings and educational programs into practice throughout VISN 20.
Clinicians
NW MIRECC clinicians are essential for the diagnosis and management of mental health conditions in VISN 20. They serve in mental health clinics as well as specialty clinics that provide a key space for the development and evaluation of new treatments for PTSD, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), substance use disorders, chronic pain, and dementia. They have particular expertise in the off-label use of the blood-pressure medication prazosin for PTSD. NW MIRECC specialty clinics also offer clinicians in-depth training in the diagnosis and management of mental health conditions.
