Abstract
- <bold>Background and Objectives: </bold>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.<bold>Method: </bold>COPE was delivered via telehealth to treat one black female veteran with combat trauma and alcohol use disorder.<bold>Results: </bold>The patient demonstrated significant reductions in alcohol consumption and PTSD and depressive symptoms.<bold>Conclusions and Scientific Significance: </bold>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.
