The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program (PTSD-RRTP) is a highly-structured six-week treatment setting for combat-related PTSD. We provide a variety of group-based, trauma-focused therapies to help male and female Veterans recover from PTSD in a supported environment. All Veterans attend voluntarily. No one can be forced to attend or remain on the PTSD-RRTP.

You are assigned a double occupancy room, each room having its own bathroom. Wi-Fi is available. Our common living areas feature TVs, computers, recreational equipment, and a work-out room.

Referral Process

Veterans should speak with their current provider for a referral to the PTSD-RRTP. The provider can then submit a consult. Referrals are accepted from any VA in the country.

Complete applications are reviewed by the treatment team and Veterans will be contacted for an admission date. Admissions occur every two weeks throughout the year.

Walk-ins are also screened every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30am – 10:30am. Please note, a walk-in screening does not lead to immediate admission or a diagnosis of PTSD.

If you need urgent mental health services, you should contact your local hospital or crisis service line for assistance. The PTSD-RRTP is not a crisis stabilization unit.
