Clinical Trial for Veterans with PTSD and Alcohol Problems
Study in Charleston, SC, & Savannah, GA, testing medication that may help

Are alcohol and posttraumatic stress taking a toll on your life since a post-9/11 deployment?

The Consortium to Alleviate PTSD is offering treatment to veterans at no cost through a clinical research study based at the Ralph H. Johnson Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Charleston, SC, with a second study site at the Savannah VA Outpatient Clinic in Savannah, GA. The study will test the effectiveness of the medication doxazosin, as compared to a placebo, in reducing the severity of posttraumatic stress disorder, alcohol use problems, and craving.

Although doxazosin normally is prescribed to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, it has shown promise in significantly reducing symptoms of PTSD and alcohol use severity.

All patients will receive a leading talk therapy to help reduce alcohol use during the 12-week trial, and those assigned to placebo will have access to other treatments following the study.
