Frequently Asked Questions
About PTSD Treatment
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders co-occur at remarkably high rates. Up to 50% of individuals seeking addiction treatment also meet criteria for PTSD. The relationship between trauma and addiction is complex, requiring specialized trauma-informed treatment that addresses both conditions simultaneously for effective, lasting recovery.
Understanding PTSD and Addiction
PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events like combat, assault, accidents, or natural disasters. Symptoms include intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, avoidance, and emotional numbness. Many people use alcohol or drugs to manage these distressing symptoms, finding temporary relief but ultimately worsening both PTSD and developing addiction. Substances interfere with trauma processing and prevent real healing.
Trauma-Informed Care Principles
Quality trauma-informed treatment emphasizes:
- Safety: Creating physical and emotional safety throughout treatment
- Trustworthiness: Building trust through transparency and consistency
- Peer Support: Connecting with others who understand trauma and recovery
- Collaboration: Shared decision-making and partnership in treatment
- Empowerment: Building strengths and restoring sense of control
- Cultural Sensitivity: Respecting diverse backgrounds and experiences
Evidence-Based Trauma Therapies
Specialized therapies for PTSD and addiction include:
- Prolonged Exposure (PE): Safely confronts trauma memories to reduce their power
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Processes traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Addresses unhelpful beliefs about trauma
- Seeking Safety: Integrated model addressing both PTSD and substance use
- Trauma-Focused CBT: Cognitive behavioral approach adapted for trauma
Integrated Treatment Approach
Modern research clearly shows that addressing PTSD and addiction together leads to better outcomes than treating them sequentially. Integrated programs provide coordinated care where trauma therapists and addiction specialists work together, creating comprehensive treatment plans that recognize how these conditions interact and support each other in recovery.
Taking It at Your Pace
Quality trauma-informed programs never force trauma disclosure before you're ready. Early treatment focuses on safety, stabilization, developing coping skills, and addressing substance use. Trauma processing begins when you and your therapist collaboratively decide you're prepared. Building foundation skills—emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness—creates readiness for deeper trauma work.
