National Center for PTSD – PTSD Treatment Programs

No matter where you live, PTSD treatment in the Department of Veterans Affairs is available. Each medical center within VA has PTSD specialists who provide treatment for Veterans with PTSD and there are nearly 200 specialized PTSD treatment programs throughout the country. Some large Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) also offer PTSD care. When there are no nearby facilities, smaller CBOCs provide needed treatment services by telehealth (using technology to communicate) or by referral to Vet Centers or community clinicians. This page describes the specialized PTSD programs and these other options within VA for getting PTSD treatment. Services offered include one-to-one mental health assessment and testing, medications, one-to-one psychotherapy and family therapy, group therapy (covering topics such as anger and stress, combat support, partners, etc.) or groups for Veterans of specific conflicts or specific traumas. The VA provides treatments shown by research to be effective in treating Veterans. Visit the website for more information and to find the right location for you.
