Dryhootch of America

Dryhootch of America, Inc. is a Milwaukee-based veteran nonprofit organization that provides veterans and their families with a stable, substance-free environment where they can gather, grow and enhance their post-service life experience. Dryhootch was founded in 2008 by a group of Vietnam combat veterans who want to help Iraq/Afghanistan veterans from experiencing the same problems, such as PTSD and alcohol/drug additions, that plagued and still plague the Vietnam veteran generation. Dryhootch operates out of a coffee house where veterans and their families can reconnect with other veterans and find support in an informal, comfortable setting. On the second floor of the coffee house, veterans can participate in a group or individual peer-to-peer counseling sessions. The coffee house is also open to the public.
