Trauma can have a profound impact on mental health and is a common underlying factor in substance abuse and addiction. At JourneyPure At The River in Nashville, Tennessee, we understand the close relationship between trauma and addiction. That’s why we provide specialized trauma therapy and psychotherapy services as an integral part of our comprehensive addiction treatment programs.
Studies have shown that individuals who have experienced trauma are at a significantly higher risk of developing a substance use disorder. Traumatic experiences can include physical or emotional abuse, sexual assault, childhood neglect, witnessing violence, severe accidents, and more. When left untreated, the negative effects of trauma can fuel addictive behaviors as individuals attempt to self-medicate and escape painful thoughts and emotions. That’s where trauma-informed care and psychotherapy come in. By addressing the underlying trauma and its symptoms, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms and break free from the cycle of addiction.
