New PTSD Remission Program at UT Health San Antonio offers hope for healing

UT Health San Antonio is introducing the PTSD Remission Program, a groundbreaking three-week treatment aimed at helping individuals overcome post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In partnership with STRONG STAR, the program offers intensive, evidence-based care designed to provide lasting relief in a condensed timeframe.

The program includes up to 15 consecutive days of personalized, one-on-one therapy using Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy, a proven treatment that helps individuals process traumatic memories. The intensive format allows patients to make meaningful progress in a short period, with some achieving significant improvement in fewer sessions.

“This is the highest quality care someone could receive for PTSD,” said Bailee Schuhmann, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. “By meeting daily for treatment, we increase the likelihood someone will complete their course of care and promote faster symptom reduction.”

What Makes It Unique?

The PTSD Remission Program stands apart for its individualized care and incorporation of advanced therapeutic techniques. In addition to Prolonged Exposure therapy, the program allows clinicians to address multiple traumatic events and work with patients to set personalized goals that support long-term recovery.

“No two people will have the exact same course of treatment,” Schuhmann said. “We can focus on up to three different traumas and tailor each person’s care based on what PTSD has disrupted in their life. Between-session work is designed with each patient to help them move toward the life they want after treatment.”

Backed by a federally funded clinical trial, the program is currently the only one of its kind in the United States with a track record of success in this intensive format.

Why Choose This Program?

Unlike traditional weekly therapy, this full-time, structured program accelerates recovery and significantly reduces dropout rates. It is open to patients nationwide and internationally, providing a path to healing that is both scientifically supported and tailored to each individual’s needs.
