Trauma Therapy Program

Trauma treatment is often an essential part of addiction therapy programs at Live Oak Detox. Trauma refers to an emotional, psychological, or physical response to an event or experience that is deeply distressing or disturbing. Traumatic events can have a significant impact on an individual's sense of safety, well-being, and overall mental health. Many individuals struggling with drug and alcohol use disorder have also experienced trauma in their lives. A lot of times it is said that this trauma is what led to individuals to seek out substances to fill the void that trauma had left inside of them.

Traumatic experiences can cause individuals to turn to drugs and alcohol and develop substance use disorders. Trauma can overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope, leading to a range of emotional and physical reactions. These reactions can include intense fear, helplessness, anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, avoidance of reminders, sleep disturbances, hypervigilance, irritability, and emotional numbing. reach out to Live Oak Detox o today at 877-716-4464.

What Is Considered Trauma?

Trauma can occur from a wide range of experiences, including but not limited to:

1. Physical abuse
2. Sexual abuse or assault
3. Emotional or psychological abuse
4. Neglect
5. Natural disasters
6. Accidents or injuries
7. Combat or war-related incidents
8. Witnessing violence or traumatic events
9. Serious illness or medical procedures
10. Loss or grief, such as the death of a loved one

Treatment for trauma often involves a combination of therapy, counseling, and support services aimed at helping individuals process their experiences and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Some common therapeutic approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-focused therapy, and group therapy. Medication may also be prescribed to manage symptoms such as anxiety or depression.

Forms of Trauma-Informed Care

A trauma therapy program may feature a range of treatment options, such as CBT or cognitive-behavioral therapy. This therapy focuses on thoughts, emotional responses, and behaviors that harm your well-being. It also helps you develop new patterns that support your well-being, instead.

One form of CBT, exposure therapy, may be beneficial. In this therapy, you recreate your trauma under controlled conditions for a limited amount of time. Your therapist helps you process your reactions to the experience as you do so. When repeated, this exposure can make you less sensitive to the effects of trauma, allowing you to begin the healing process.
