TRAUMA AND ADDICTION TREATMENT

TRAUMA AND DRUG OR ALCOHOL ABUSE OFTEN GO HAND IN HAND

When Trauma is the Root Cause—People experience trauma differently, and it is defined by the person who experienced it.

Coping with unresolved trauma can often lead to substance misuse or the development of destructive behaviours like technology addiction or social withdrawal. Addressing the underlying trauma is essential for a full and lasting recovery, as it heals the root of the issue and dramatically lowers the chances of relapse.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT’S A PROBLEM?

When trauma is not properly processed, it can develop into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The following are symptoms:

  • Inability to concentrate
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Withdrawal from situations to avoid “triggers”
  • Intense, prolonged distress when faced with a trigger
  • Flashbacks or nightmares
  • Destructive behaviour
  • Emotional volatility
  • Paranoia

If these symptoms are present alongside other struggles, it is essential that the trauma is addressed within a specialised, integrated treatment programme.
