VA center opens women's unit
October 18, 2007
Good news for local women veterans: A long-anticipated new residential rehabilitation unit has opened at the VA Boston Healthcare System's Brockton campus.
The rehab program is designed to treat women who have both posttraumatic stress and substance abuse disorders.
The highly anticipated, eight-bed, residential unit had been scheduled to open in January, but was delayed.
VA spokeswoman Diane Keefe said that finding mental health specialists to staff the ward around the clock took longer than expected.
But as of this month, the center is admitting patients, she said. By Monday, four patients had been admitted to the unit, and another was expected, she said.
