Cheyenne VA Medical Center

Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program

The PRRTP assists Veterans living with PTSD and/or substance use issues by instilling hope, validating strengths, teaching skills, and facilitating community integration so that each can develop meaningful self-determined roles in the community.

The PRRTP is a 10-bed  residential treatment program.  It is designed to help guide

Veterans through the process of  putting their lives back on track.  The overall goal is to support  each individual’s potential for  recovery as a personal journey. This will involve developing hope and purpose and building a secure base of natural supports to enhance a strong sense of self. It also will involve establishing supportive relationships, providing empowerment,  fostering social inclusion, and developing or enriching coping skills.  Veterans can select from a variety of evidence-based interventions, tailored to meet their individual goals. Group and individual  treatments include

• Seeking Safety
• Relapse Prevention
• Prolonged Exposure Therapy
• Cognitive processing Therapy for PTSD
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Any housing and employment needs are also addressed. Typical length of stay is  approximately 5 to 7 weeks.  Veterans also strive towards  attaining stable housing;  meaningful work activity and/  or income; and/or improved  medication compliance through  the provision of holistic  case management services;  vocational counseling and  placement services.
