Pa. group to help vets with post-traumatic stress
(AP)
An Allentown nonprofit is converting a vacant 90-year-old church school into a residential "veterans sanctuary" to specialize in treating post-traumatic stress disorder.
New Treatment Trends will create a short-term therapeutic home for 60 veterans, with room for counseling, training and group therapy.
Executive director Robert Csandl (SAN'-del) says veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder often turn to drugs or alcohol.
City Councilman Mike Donovan says the center will be downtown, close to key government and health care services. Council president Michael D'Amore says it will provide needed services for veterans returning from war.
New Treatment Trends hopes to open the center in the spring of 2010.
