From the registry
The goal of this clinical trial is to memory drilling works in improving the ability to remember to do something later in treatment-seeking veterans. The main question it aims to answer is: Does adding memory drilling to intensive treatment programs improve the patient's ability to remember to do something later? Researchers will compare typical standardized memory training to the memory training with drilling to see if drilling improves the veterans' ability to remember tasks they are supposed to do later. Participants will: * complete the Operation Mend intensive treatment program with either standard care (either with or without Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder \[PTSD\] focused trauma therapy) or standard care + memory drilling * complete a virtual memory assessment at entrance, exit, and three months post exit. This assessment will include questionnaires, interviews, and computerized and naturalistic memory tasks.
