This November 2016 feature described Veterans Alternative in Holiday, Florida, and its then service-dog-friendly programs for veterans and families.
The original report discussed retreats and activities such as yoga, guided meditation and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Past schedules, eligibility, transport arrangements and free services are not confirmed current offerings.
The article's former claims that individual activities were proven treatments or could eliminate PTSD triggers in a first session have been removed. A retreat or a service dog does not replace individualized mental-health care.
