Why Addressing Trauma Is Essential to Lasting Wellness
Healing Starts Here
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 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
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
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
Reducing the Risk of Re-Traumatization and Relapse
Clients in inpatient care for substance abuse benefit from trauma-informed therapy. Relapse has the potential to cause severe illness, injury, or death. Individuals in early recovery for substance use disorder (SUD) or dual diagnosis have a higher risk of backsliding into old behaviors, thought patterns, and routines. Treatment that accommodates trauma helps you or your loved one avoid relapse and build a solid foundation for positive life changes in our residential program.
