Summary
This study looked at whether adding a short writing therapy (Written Exposure Therapy) to a 28-day residential substance use program helps veterans who have both PTSD and substance use disorders. Fifty-six veterans took part. The goal was to see if the writing therapy was practical and well-liked, and to check for early signs that it might reduce PTSD symptoms, substance use, and improve quality of life. Results will help plan a larger study.
