Overview

Trauma-informed care is an approach to addiction treatment that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma, understands potential paths for recovery, recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, and integrates knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices. A large percentage of people with substance use disorders have experienced trauma — including childhood abuse or neglect, domestic violence, sexual assault, combat exposure, accidents, and community violence.

Treatment Modalities

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
  • Trauma-focused CBT
  • Seeking Safety
  • Somatic experiencing
  • Narrative therapy
  • Standard addiction treatment approaches integrated with trauma care
