Compensated Work Therapy
Transitional Residence

Transitional Residence 

[ IMAGE : /vetind/images/TR1a.jpg ] The Compensated Work Tharapy/ Transitional Residence Program (CWT/TR) is a work-based Psychosocial Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program (PRRTP) offering a therapeutic residential setting for veterans involved in Veterans Industries/Compensated Work Therapy (VI/CWT). This program provides a rehabilitation-focused residential setting for veterans recovering from chronic mental  illness, chemical dependency and homelessness.

CWT/TR provides a bridge between hospitalization or intensive outpatient treatment and successful community reintegration. The program utilizes a residential therapeutic community of peer and professional support, with a strong emphasis on increasing personal responsibility and achievement of individualized rehabilitation goals.

CWT/TR differs from other VA-operated residential bed programs in that participants contribute (using their VI/CWT earnings) to the cost of operating and maintaining their residences and are responsible for planning, purchasing and preparing their own meals.
