Understanding PTSD and Addiction
PTSD is a mental health condition that can occur after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. These events can include physical or sexual abuse, combat exposure, car accidents, natural disasters, and other forms of violence. In the aftermath of a traumatic event, the brain may struggle to process and make sense of what has happened.
People who struggle with PTSD may experience:
- Intrusive memories of the event
- Flashbacks
- Nightmares
- Insomnia
- Hypervigilance
- Depression or anxiety
For many, PTSD and substance use issues can go hand in hand. Self-medicating with substances can offer temporary relief from the overwhelming symptoms of PTSD, but it can also lead to addiction and exacerbate the distress associated with the disorder. On the other hand, a substance use disorder can make the individual more prone to experiencing traumatic events, thus creating a cycle that’s difficult to break.
At Tree House Recovery, we understand the complex relationship between PTSD and addiction and have developed a specialized treatment program that’s tailored to address both disorders simultaneously. If the symptoms of your PTSD and addiction are becoming too much to handle, our team is here to help you start your journey of healing.
