Summary

This study looks at whether treating sleep apnea early can improve long-term outcomes for veterans with both PTSD and substance use disorder. About 194 veterans in a residential treatment program will either receive sleep apnea treatment right away or be placed on a waitlist. The goal is to see if early treatment reduces disability, PTSD symptoms, substance use, and suicidal thoughts.
