Getting Started Is Easy
Why Addressing Trauma Is Essential to Lasting Wellness
Experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event has a profound effect on an individual’s mental and physical health. If trauma is left unaddressed, it can lead to mental health disorders or maladaptive coping mechanisms. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “Substance use, mental health conditions, and other risky behaviors have been linked with traumatic experiences.” Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ uses trauma-informed therapy and evidence-based methods to help individuals struggling with the effects of trauma, creating a holistic approach to change that focuses not on isolated symptoms, but instead targets people and their unique needs with treatment plans dedicated to lasting recovery and overall, comprehensive wellness.
Trauma Treatment at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™
The effects of trauma impact everyone differently. Some people may experience episodes of aggression or violence. According to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), “Child abuse and neglect have been shown to increase the risk of later forms of antisocial behavior, including violence perpetration and crime in adulthood.” Early intervention and treatment for mental health issues is the best way to avoid experiencing adverse side effects. TIC reduces the risk of individuals with SUD or mental health issues developing maladaptive behaviors, including substance use or self-destructive tendencies.
Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ uses trauma therapy and other forms of trauma treatment to help clients heal and grow. Some of the programs and services offered include:
- Residential treatment (RTC)
- Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
- Evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Outpatient
- Alumni services
- Anger management
- Psychotherapy
- Alternative holistic therapies like acupuncture
- Aftercare planning
Trauma may take longer to treat compared to other mental health issues. Many people attend community-based support groups or continue to participate in individual therapy after completing treatment to manage any lingering issues related to trauma. Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ offers multiple levels of care and modalities to help clients heal from trauma at their own pace.
Trauma and Mental Health
Treating trauma is often complicated. Many contributing factors affect how trauma impacts a person’s ability to function. Two individuals can experience the same traumatic event; one may develop severe mental health issues while the other processes the event and moves forward with their life without lasting side effects. A person’s ability to cope with stress and access social support plays a vital role in how they manage and process trauma.
Untreated trauma can cause the following mental and physical health issues:
- Chronic fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Personality disorders
- Sleep disturbances
- Panic or anxiety attacks
- Dissociative events, including flashbacks and memory loss
- Depressive episodes
- Social withdrawal and loneliness
There is no single approach to trauma or the personalized care and mental health treatment needed to address its effects. Our PTSD treatment centers at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ offer individualized treatment for both substance use disorders and trauma, with evidence-based treatment and therapy sessions committed to helping you build an everyday life that celebrates healing and your well-being.


What Is Trauma-Informed Therapy?
Trauma-informed therapy is a form of trauma treatment focused on providing clients with a space where they feel emotionally and physically safe. Our clinicians are trained to recognize and react appropriately to nonverbal cues related to trauma throughout mental health and addiction treatment.
Trauma-informed therapy does the following:
- Educates
- Empowers
- Uplifts
- Provides a sense of safety
- Prioritizes client autonomy
Trauma is a significant factor for many clients with SUD or mental health disorders. According to BJPsych Advances, “Research has consistently found that people using mental health services have experienced high rates of trauma in childhood or adulthood and that these rates are higher than in the general population.” In addition, “It has also been found that people using mental health services are more likely to have experienced violence or trauma in the previous year than the general population.” Our world-class clinical team at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ uses comprehensive assessments and screening tools to determine which clients may require additional treatment across any level of care for trauma-related issues.
The Benefits of Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma may affect many aspects of a client’s life, and behavioral health treatment works best when it addresses them all. Clients with a history of trauma often have better outcomes when they play an active role in directing their own treatment and specific needs. According to SAMHSA, “In a trauma-informed approach, patients are actively engaged in their care and their feedback drives the direction of the care plan.”
Trauma-informed therapy has many potential benefits for clients across their recovery journey, including:
- Ensuring clients have a greater understanding of their condition
- Creating a sympathetic and supportive environment for effective treatment
- Helping clients re-establish safety
- Teaching healthy coping skills
- Helping clients to identify and cope with triggers
- Decreasing the symptoms and side effects of trauma
- Allowing clients to fully process traumatic events
Trauma-informed therapy gives clients the tools to reclaim control of their lives, empowering those in recovery from trauma, mental health disorders, addiction, and co-occurring disorders to build a new life. Trauma does not have to dictate the future. The care team at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ helps clients heal and recover with high-quality care, personalized treatment plans, and holistic treatments, all backed by compassionate care at our recovery center.


Reducing the Risk of Re-Traumatization and Relapse
Trauma-informed care (TIC) also reduces the risk of re-traumatization. According to SAMHSA, “TIC involves vigilance in anticipating and avoiding institutional processes and individual practices that are likely to retraumatize individuals who already have histories of trauma.” Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ provides a safe space where clients feel comfortable addressing trauma and other underlying issues related to substance abuse or mental health disorders. We also curate family therapy and group therapy to explore these vulnerabilities alongside peers in a safe environment, supporting change throughout the recovery process.
