Trauma-Informed Therapy

Trauma and substance use disorders (SUDs) often go together. People with a history of trauma often self-medicate with alcohol, cocaine, heroin, benzodiazepines, and opioids. At Boca Recovery Center, our therapists practice trauma-focused therapy that recognizes and emphasizes the impact of traumatic experiences on a person’s addictive behaviors.

Trauma-Informed Therapy at Boca Recovery Center

Trauma has a significant impact on a person’s mental health and plays an important role in addiction. Therapists at Boca Recovery Center are trained to recognize trauma and guide the recovery process with compassion and professionalism.

Substance use and trauma are closely linked. For example, researchers say the level of substance abuse seen in adults closely relates to the trauma they endured as children.[1] But many people with SUDs don’t make the connection. Therapy can help.

A trauma-informed approach doesn’t mean blaming an event and moving on. Therapists help you understand how the events infuse the way you think, feel, and behave. Then, you can find a new way to live in recovery.
