Admitting that you need help for an addiction is not always easy. It can be even more difficult when there are underlying mental health issues that may have caused or contributed to that addiction. At Serenity Light Recovery, we can focus on treating both substance use disorders and mental health issues to help every individual in our care recover. It’s common for those who struggle with addiction to also face mental health issues. PTSD and addiction, for example, often go hand in hand. Understanding how they’re linked and how to break free from both of them is a vital part of achieving lasting sobriety. There’s no need to settle for less when you have the opportunity to get back to a good quality of life. You don’t need to struggle any longer. We’re here to help you and can provide you with the tools and coping skills you need to get past substance abuse issues.
The Link Between PTSD and Addiction
Because there’s such a strong link between PTSD and addiction, some people believe that everyone who has one must have the other. While that’s not the case, some individuals with PTSD do develop addiction problems because they’re trying to find a way to cope with the difficulties they’ve faced. At Serenity Light Recovery, we want to make sure we can provide quality help to anyone struggling with PTSD and addiction. Through our dual diagnosis treatment program, we can help you work through both issues at the same time. PTSD can cause you to have a reaction to certain triggers that remind of you past traumatic events, such as stress or loud noises. It’s common for individuals with mental health issues to turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with negative emotions. However, through a treatment program, you’ll learn how to work through both issues at the same time.
Program Options That Can Help You Succeed
If you need help for a dual diagnosis of PTSD and addiction, Serenity Light Recovery can work with you and find a treatment program that’s right for your needs. You don’t have to settle for only getting help for one part of the problem. Instead, we’ll treat both issues together to provide the best outcome. That can help keep you from relapsing and make it easier for you to focus on the goals you have for your future and the things you want to do with your life. Although PTSD and addiction can keep you from the life you want, our dual diagnosis treatment program provides personalized care. We offer a number of options to help you break free of addiction, such as:
- Family therapy program
- 12 step program
- Full medical detox
- Residential program
- Intensive outpatient program
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- EMDR therapy
- Yoga and fitness program
By working with us on the kind of treatment you need to be healthy and focus on your future, you can move toward a life in recovery and appreciate all it has to offer. We know that getting help can be stressful, and we’ll do all we can to make it easier for you. When you break the cycle of addiction and receive treatment for PTSD at the same time, you can rebuild your life.
