Summary
This study looks at how a short therapy called Written Exposure Therapy (WET) works for people with both PTSD and substance use disorder who are in residential treatment. About 108 participants will either do WET or neutral writing alongside their usual care. Researchers will measure PTSD symptoms, substance use, and body responses like heart rate and cravings to understand how the therapy helps and if sex hormones play a role.
