Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A growing literature provides evidence for the use of integrated treatments (e.g., Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and Substance Use Disorders Using Prolonged Exposure; COPE); however, no known studies have applied COPE via telehealth. METHOD: COPE was delivered via telehealth to treat one black female veteran with combat trauma and alcohol use disorder. RESULTS: The patient demonstrated significant reductions in alcohol consumption and PTSD and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Although preliminary, findings demonstrate that integrated treatment via telehealth is feasible and effective, and may be useful for female veterans reluctant to seek services at male-dominated VAMCs. (Am J Addict 2017;26:112-114).
