Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The hypothesis is that women who receive present-focused, integrated treatment will have greater PTSD symptom reduction and have less substance use after treatment than women in the control condition who will receive supportive therapy based on a 12-step approach.
