Substance Use Disorder Clinic The Keller Army Community Hospital’s Substance Use Disorder Clinic Care (SUDCC) is open to cadets that are interested in seeking help independently. The clinic provides substance use disorder clinical care, including assessment, education, treatment, rehabilitation and aftercare, for cadets within an integrated medical and behavioral healthmodel to enhance health and readiness. It is preferred to have individuals seek education and treatment on their own, in hopes to prevent them frompossibly experiencing an alcohol or drug related incident. Seeking education and treatment independently does not require command involvement or an official enrollment into the program. Services are also offered for nicotine, tobacco and vaping products. The SUDCC is located in building 656 and you can schedule an appointment by walking in Monday to Friday, 0800-1630, or calling 845.938.7691. Keller Army Community Hospital Keller Army Community Hospital provides high quality, patient-centered care with a focus on health and wellness to improve readiness of the Force and enhance the lives of all beneficiaries. The hospital provides cadets access to a 24/7 Emergency Room as well as numerous medical and surgical specialties including orthopedics, podiatry, dermatology, ENT, general surgery, oral surgery, OB-GYN and physical therapy. Cadets can call the Central Guard Room (CGR) 845.938.3030 in order to receive transportation to the hospital for medical care. Cadets who require inpatient treatment for medical or surgical needs while at West Point will be cared for in the medical-surgical unit. Family members, friends, or fellow cadets may visit a cadet during their hospital stay. One family member (over the age of 18) is allowed to stay the night to provide emotional support for the cadet. Arrangements for this should be made with the medical-surgical unit front desk at 845.938.3004. If a cadet is “put on quarters,” they have permission to rest/recover in their barracks room.
