COPE is the Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and Substance Use Disorders using Prolonged Exposure. The evidence-based program provides structured daily living and physical and psychological safety support.
The VCRP is delivered in a non-hospital setting in Northern NSW by clinical psychologists, counsellors and staff with experience in supporting people to recovery. The residential program is followed by three months of aftercare, conducted by phone or video conference, when participants return to the community.
The pilot program for VCRP ran in March 2022.
The Buttery may have capacity to run a subsequent Veterans COPE Recovery Program should we receive adequate enquiries.
In the interim, Veterans are encourage to contact the The Buttery about participating in The Buttery Private program.
