TRAUMA AND ADDICTION TREATMENT

CHANGE YOUR LIFE TODAY!

TRAUMA AND DRUG OR ALCOHOL ABUSE OFTEN GO HAND IN HAND

People experience trauma differently it is not up to us to judge what creates a trauma: it is defined by the person who experienced it.

Coping with unresolved trauma can drive a person to drink, use drugs, or develop destructive behaviours. Addressing the trauma in treatment can lower your chances of relapse, heal you more fully, and contribute to a stronger recovery.

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” of the traumatic experience
  • Intense, prolonged distress when faced with a trigger
  • Flashbacks or nightmares
  • Destructive behaviour
  • Emotional volatility
  • Paranoia

If this sounds like you, and if you are struggling in other areas of your life, it is essential that your trauma and your other concerns are addressed together in a program of treatment for childhood trauma, to give you the best chance at the life you deserve.

A mental health issue refers to a condition that affects a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

Mental health issues encompass a broad range of conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and many others. These conditions can vary in severity and may require professional diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support. It is important to prioritize mental health and seek help when needed.
