If you know a Veteran in need:
"Mental Health Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Programs (MH RRTPs) (including Domiciliary and RRTPs) provide residential rehabilitative and clinical care to Veterans who have a wide range of problems, illnesses, or rehabilitative care needs which may include mental health and substance use disorders, co-occurring medical conditions and psychosocial needs such as homelessness and unemployment. All of these programs provide a 24/7 therapeutic setting utilizing both professional and peer supports. Treatment focuses on the Veteran's needs, abilities, strengths, and preferences.
There are several types of programs which include the following:
a. Domiciliary Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Programs (DRRTP). A DRRTP provides a residential level of care for Veterans with issues related to medical, mental health, substance use disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders, and homelessness. These programs are larger residential programs with multiple units serving various Veteran populations based on need.
b. Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans (DCHV). A DCHV provides a residential level of care for a homeless Veteran population. A DCHV may be a standalone program or a unit within a larger DRRTP.
c. Health Maintenance Domiciliary. Health Maintenance Domiciliary beds provide a residential level of care for Veterans. Health Maintenance Domiciliary programs focus on symptom reduction and stabilization as part of the rehabilitative approach to facilitating community integration. A Health Maintenance Domiciliary may be a standalone unit or part of a larger DRRTP.
d. General Domiciliary (General Dom) or Psychosocial Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Programs (PRRTP). These programs provide a residential treatment level of care for a general Veteran population with a variety of needs. General Dom beds are a part of a larger DRRTP while PRRTPs are standalone units.
e. Domiciliary PTSD (Dom PTSD) or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program (PTSD-RRTP). These programs provide residential level of care to Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder including provision of services for Veterans who have experienced Military Sexual Trauma. Dom PTSD may be part of a larger DRRTP while a PTSD-RRTP is a standalone unit .
f. Domiciliary SA (Dom SA) or Substance Abuse Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program (SARRTP). These programs provide a residential level of care to Veterans with Substance Use Disorders. Dom SA beds may be part of a larger DRRTP while a SARRTP is a standalone program.
g. Compensated Work Therapy (CWT)-Transitional Residence (TR). General CWT-TR offers therapeutic work-based residential rehabilitation services designed to facilitate successful community reintegration for Veterans. The program does not target any particular mental health diagnosis. The program requires concurrent enrollment in the Compensated Work Therapy program."

This is important for those who suffer and for those who assist in treatment, Especially for those who are transitioning out of the military!

CSM (Join to see) Thank you for posting so many options along with explanations of each. A couple of years ago, while working some particularly difficult cases as a Sexual Assualt Nurse Examiner, MST symptoms flared and I was given a trip and room at a hospital specializing in PTSD. It took them four days to realize I was the only woman on the unit and not a particularly therapeutic environment. In fact, at the time, there was a single nurse, no groups or therapy of any kind, no social workers, and one doctor who made it quite clear that seeing the patients on this unit for three minutes each was an unreasonable demand on her time. My hope is that service members, veterans and family members- yes, military service takes a toll on every member of the family- is triaged correctly, diagnosed correctly and receives sufficient care and follow up to live with the issues they have.
