Trauma Therapy Program
Trauma therapy is an essential component of any recovery program when you are dealing with PTSD or other mental health needs caused by trauma. Many people who are addicted to substances have a history of trauma, and dealing with the trauma is the best way to ensure long-term success at sobriety.
At Alina Lodge, we provide trauma therapy and other therapy services for people ready to break free from an addiction to drugs or alcohol. With a commitment to compassionate care, we are ready to help you build a foundation of recovery so you can grow.
How Trauma Therapy Helps in Recovery
Working through your addiction takes time and effort. Trauma therapy becomes an integral part of your treatment when you uncover a history of childhood trauma, PTSD, or other mental health needs caused by trauma. When you are addicted to substances, some of the issues you face directly link to your past trauma. No matter how many times you try to get sober, you won’t remain sober if you don’t process the trauma in your history. While you can remove substances physically from your system, you have to work through the reasons why you became addicted in the first place.
When you are in trauma therapy, you might:
- Slowly build a relationship with a trauma therapist
- Work through your history to reduce the impact of your trauma
- Learn desensitization strategies to decrease your response to trauma
- Uncover trauma that was buried in your unconscious
- Begin to see a way forward in recovery
When you work through your addiction to substances and consistently engage in trauma therapy, you will be able to heal. It isn’t easy to talk about your past, but it is an important part of your recovery. If your mental health is strained and your addiction is out of control, it’s time to reach out for support at Alina Lodge.
Understanding Your PTSD Diagnosis
If you have a diagnosis of PTSD, you are not alone. Many people have this diagnosis as a response to trauma. You may feel like you are always on edge or have difficulty with high anxiety levels. While this is a diagnosis that was first used with soldiers coming back from war, it is now a diagnosis that is given to people who have dealt with trauma and have a number of symptoms present.
Symptoms of PTSD include but are not limited to:
- Night terrors that wake you up, or difficulty falling asleep
- Chronic anxiety that interferes with your daily life
- Flashbacks of the traumatic event that seem to occur for no reason
- Trouble determining what is a true threat
When PTSD is combined with an addiction, you need help to get your mental health back under control. With the right mental health therapist and a commitment to your recovery, you can undo some of your past so that it no longer controls your life. While you can’t erase your past, you can overcome it. Find the support you need to build on your recovery so that you can live a happy, healthy life. Treatment will make it possible for you to manage your mental health and get on a path to recovery.
