Trauma Therapy

A number of individuals who deal with substance abuse have suffered from some form of trauma in their life. Sometimes those who suffer from traumatic experiences tend to disconnect, do not acknowledge, or understand the magnitude or the impact their trauma has had on their lives. Often those who suffer from trauma as well as substance abuse, choose to ignore and escape the issue any way possible. Avoiding feelings and emotions through using mind altering substances is one of the most common ways for those who suffer from some form of trauma. Individuals numb themselves, detaching their emotions from their thoughts, memories and behaviors. The comfortable therapeutic environment we have created at Bright Futures Treatment Center, provides a considerable sensitivity to our clients who suffer from trauma and substance abuse. Often those who have co-occurring symptoms of both substance abuse, and trauma, have extenuating circumstance that caused the trauma before their substance abuse addiction developed. Addicts and alcoholics use mind altering substances in order to suppress emotional turmoil of their trauma. Though, it is not uncommon for substance abuse addiction to lead to trauma. Regardless of the type of trauma, and the way in which it developed, those who suffer from trauma do not have to suffer alone.
