PTSD and Substance Abuse

Abstract

Substance use disorders (SUD) and Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are some of the most prominent psychiatric disorders among Service Members (SMs), including the Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) cohort. These disorders sometimes go untreated due to SMs lack of awareness, access to care, or stigma about accessing care. Seeking Safety (SS) has been established as an effective model for co-occurring SUD/PTSD. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the SS manual and Adherence Scale for implementation in a military setting. We have not started to collect data and do not have any research findings to report.
