Trauma-Informed Addiction Care
Trauma-Informed Addiction Care
Trauma is a significant underlying factor in many addiction cases, requiring a trauma-informed approach to care. This model acknowledges the profound impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and other traumas on substance use patterns. Trauma-informed care focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where patients feel understood and empowered. Treatment emphasizes collaboration, trust, and sensitivity to triggers. Modalities like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused CBT address the psychological wounds driving addiction. By integrating trauma-informed principles, addiction care becomes more holistic, fostering healing and reducing the risk of retraumatization during recovery.
