When it comes
to substance and PTSD treatment,
I’ve had both.
I initially entered into
substance abuse treatment first,
and while I was in substance
abuse treatment,
my VART counselor,
who was also in Iraq
at the same time I was,
suggested that I
might have PTSD.
He told me that there was an
inpatient, 11 week PTSD program.
He also informed me
that it was extremely intense
and it triggers a lot of people.
And he suggested that maybe
since I was doing that
massive amount of cocaine a day,
that I need to get a handle
on my drug use before
I did a treatment like that.
Which inevitably
was what worked for me.
