As of February 2021, the program, has provided 68,718 clinical sessions to 2060 veterans with PTSD in 26 cities. EMDR, one of 3 evidence-based treatments (EBT) for PTSD endorsed by the Veterans Affairs Health Administration, has only recently become available at the VA and is still not available at many VA mental health centers. Numerous distinct benefits of EMDR relative to the other 2 PTSD EBT’s, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), in this population are described. This program utilizes EMDR as the primary treatment modality for treating veteran PTSD, the only such program for veterans of its kind. Over 90% of the veterans receive EMDR during their treatment. The experience of the program has led to the development of veteran specific adaptations to the first four of eight EMDR phases. The program has been highly successful as measured by suicide rate, treatment retention, symptom improvement, and client satisfaction.“
