Understanding the Link Between PTSD and Substance Abuse
The connection between post traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorder runs deep. After a traumatic event, you may start to experience symptoms associated with PTSD. Then, in an attempt to deal with the symptoms of PTSD – including things like painful memories, anxiety, and emotional distress – you may start to use drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism.
Unfortunately, this drug or alcohol use often starts a destructive cycle that is difficult to escape. The substance abuse can take a further toll on mental health, and you will be no closer to true recovery from the traumatic event that you experienced.
Ultimately, you may end up with co-occurring conditions, also known as a dual diagnosis. That means that you are suffering from both a mental health disorder and a substance abuse issue. In such a case, PTSD treatment alone is unlikely to be successful.
You’ll need to visit a treatment center that is capable of not only addressing the substance use issue, but also the PTSD and underlying traumatic event that led to this destructive cycle in the first place.

What is a Trauma Residential Program?
A trauma residential program is a specific type of inpatient program designed to serve those experiencing PTSD and addiction. In this kind of program, you will live at the facility while receiving many different types of treatment each day. This sort of intensive experience will provide a strong platform on which the healing process can begin.
Receiving mental health care for PTSD symptoms is an important step in your journey toward lasting recovery, and that type of care will be provided in a trauma residential program. At the same time, part of the overall treatment plan will be geared toward the substance use issue that you are facing. By having a treatment plan that properly respects both sides of a dual diagnosis you will have the best possible chance to overcome the challenges that you are facing.
What to Expect at Our Treatment Center
If you have never before received trauma treatment or any kind of care for the emotional trauma that you have been through, the idea of entering a treatment center may be a little overwhelming. Let’s go through some of what you can expect so the prospect of receiving care is a little less intimidating.
Comprehensive Trauma-Informed Care
It’s important that any individual facing mental health challenges as a result of PTSD receive trauma-informed care that is tailored to their life experiences. Even the best intensive treatment may not be successful if it doesn’t account for the root cause of the mental illness, which is the trauma that has been experienced. At our treatment center, you will receive compassionate care that uses evidence based therapies to promote healing without re-traumatization.
This kind of understanding care will help you develop healthier coping strategies than the drugs and alcohol that were being used previously. Destructive thought patterns will be changed and a renewed sense of safety and trust can be built up one session at a time.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Treating both of these conditions at the same time is central to what we do at Ingrained Recovery. Mental health treatment in the absence of substance abuse treatment may not have the desired effect. Everyone who receives care for a dual diagnosis at our facility will receive a customized treatment plan that is designed to produce lasting results.
Evidence based therapies are sure to play a role in your treatment plan, including the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy to address negative thought patterns. We may also utilize medication management to properly stabilize your mental health and set the stage for breakthroughs in the therapy process. It will also be important to highlight relapse prevention strategies, as those are another key component in long-term sobriety.
Medical and Emotional Support Around the Clock
One of the great values of visiting a residential treatment center is the opportunity to have support from a trained and experienced staff around the clock. You can never be sure when withdrawal symptoms or other challenges are going to arise, so by living at the rehab facility, you will always have someone available for critical support.
In some cases, the support you need will be medical in nature, such as when going through a difficult detox process. Having medical care on-site at all times to confront any health issues you encounter will make the entire detox process far safer and more controlled.
You may also need emotional support at unexpected times. With our licensed therapists and counselors, you’ll be able to talk with someone who understands what you are facing and knows how to steer you through the rough waters.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
The foundation of your recovery process is going to be rooted in things like individual therapy sessions, group therapy, and other treatments provided by our professional team. With that said, holistic therapies can also play an important role in this process, and we don’t overlook their value.
Countless different types of activities can count as holistic treatment. You might take part in yoga or meditation classes, for example, as a way to bring down stress levels and improve mindfulness. Or, you could enter nutritional counseling to help improve your overall health and well-being.
Holistic therapy sessions can also include outdoor activities and recreational therapy to help you connect with nature and restore an appreciation of the beauty of the world.
How to Know if Residential Treatment is Right for You
Are you trying to decide between residential treatment and something like an intensive outpatient program? This can be a difficult decision, but if you look closely at the situation that you are facing, it may be clear that an inpatient program is the right way to go. Residential treatment may be called for if some of the following apply to you:
- You rely on drugs or alcohol to cope with trauma-related stress
- You have tried outpatient services without success
- You struggle with severe PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, or panic attacks
- A structured, safe environment is needed for you to focus entirely on recovery
It’s best to talk with a professional in this space – such as the representatives at Ingrained Recovery – to get help determining what type of treatment program is best for your needs.
