Prolonged Exposure Therapy for Trauma and Addiction
Prolonged exposure therapy (PET) is a highly effective treatment for individuals who have experienced trauma and struggle with addiction. This therapy helps individuals gradually confront and process traumatic memories and feelings in a safe environment, aiming to reduce the emotional distress these memories cause. Since addiction often develops as a coping mechanism for trauma, PET helps break the cycle by teaching healthier ways to process difficult emotions. The therapy involves detailed exposure to trauma-related cues, helping patients reduce avoidance behaviors and diminish their emotional reaction to distressing memories. When integrated with addiction recovery programs, PET not only supports emotional healing but also enhances the effectiveness of substance use treatments, fostering a stronger foundation for sustained recovery.
