What is VTP?

The Veterans Treatment Program (VTP) is a voluntary Three-Phased program which may encompass 13 months in duration. However, compliance with VTP and treatment may be mandatory for individuals who are currently on probation. Initial treatment may vary from inpatient to outpatient services, and will depend on the individual's most current clinical assessment. The participants could be eligible for financial assistance, including but not limited to mortgage, rent and /or utilities assistance.
