Many people have experienced trauma in their lives. Whether that trauma occurred over many years during childhood or was a single dramatic event witnessed as an adult, there sadly is an all too common connection between trauma and addiction. Trauma can cause extreme psychological and physical reactions; for some, the pain is severe enough to push them toward drugs and alcohol. A trauma therapy program offers a safe, effective way to manage trauma addiction and allows you to lead a happy and healthy life again. At Avedis Detox, we will address trauma and addiction concurrently so you can recover fully. Don’t hesitate to contact us online or call 833.514.0579 today to inquire about our trauma therapy program.
Trauma and addiction are, for many individuals, intrinsically tethered. Some 75% of those in substance abuse treatment programs report histories of abuse and trauma. Trauma therapy programs work because they can uncover and then attempt to make sense of the traumatic experiences and the PTSD you are suffering. At the same time, our medical professionals will address the roots of your addiction, thus healing your whole self and pointing you toward a brighter future. Some of the most common forms of trauma that can lead to addiction include:
When simultaneously suffering from trauma and addiction, you may feel overwhelmed and alone when trying to cope with the issues caused by the traumatic experiences and subsequent substance abuse. Because we understand and appreciate the connection between trauma and addiction, our program at Avedis will reassure you that you are not alone, that your trauma and addiction are seen, and that you can overcome a traumatic past and enjoy a happier, healthier future.
Trauma impacts not only your emotional state but your physical well-being too. If you are dealing with intense trauma and PTSD and an ensuing addiction at the same time, you may be experiencing some of the following:
No one should have to handle their trauma alone. When they do, the connection between trauma and addiction becomes clear. People without a support network or professional help will use drugs and alcohol to cope with the hurt, anger, memories, and regret. Self-medication offers only temporary relief for the PTSD caused by the traumatic events of your past. A substance use disorder may arise in the long term, and the drugs will dig a deeper hole, trapping you into a negative cycle and ultimately expanding your mental health problems.
You need and deserve to receive professional help for your trauma and addiction. Thankfully, the Avedis team will examine your entire life to discover if any co-occurring disorders may be causing you further mental, physical, and emotional distress.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating trauma and addiction. We will create a personalized treatment plan for your post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction issues. Our trauma therapy program addresses your whole self by teaching you coping skills, helping you overcome the trauma and addiction, and ultimately showing you a way forward in recovery.
If you are suffering from a major event or a hurtful past that has led to trauma and addiction, contact Avedis Detox today by using our secure online form or pick up the phone and call us confidentially at 833.514.0579 to learn how we can help care for you.
