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

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 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.
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.

The Team at Exclusive Saved My Life

“My liver was failing and my life was spiraling out of control. As I sat in a hospital bed, I looked up rehab and found Exclusive.

Now two years later, I have my Master’s Degree and am interning in another rehab helping others change their lives, the same way Exclusive helped me. I will be forever grateful.”

FAQs

What is the most effective intervention for trauma?

Each person’s journey with trauma and maladaptive coping disorders is unique. However, relying on trained professionals with evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy can be a great way to learn more about trauma and its effects to develop a personalized treatment plan. Evidence-based care, coupled with personalized holistic healing opportunities and a trauma-informed environment, can be an effective intervention for dealing with trauma and its effects on daily life.

What are the benefits of a luxury residential treatment program?

While most dedicated treatment facilities for addiction, mental health disorders, and trauma will provide trained care, luxury facilities like Exclusive Hawaii Rehab go above and beyond to tend to personal needs and goals. Luxury amenities ensure comfort even during difficult times. Having daily needs tended to, such as meals prepared by our on-site chef, empowers you to focus wholly on your own health care and wellbeing.

With comfort and support, you can better explore your needs and goals while putting in the hard work to get to the core of the challenges you face.

Are women more likely to develop a mental health disorder related to their trauma?

Yes. Women have a higher risk of developing mental health disorders related to trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). According to the Office on Women’s Health, “Past year prevalence of PTSD among adults was higher for females (5.2%) than for males (1.8%).” Trauma manifests differently for everyone. For example, one individual who experiences childhood trauma may become withdrawn and socially isolate themselves, while another may experience episodes of aggression or violence. Treatment must address the root cause of the condition while also helping people manage behavioral issues caused by the disorder.

Is a luxury rehab worth it?

Absolutely! While each person’s experiences in treatment and rehab are different, depending on your needs, goals, progress, and a myriad of other factors, there is no replacement for professional support when overcoming the complex challenges of trauma, mental health disorders, or addiction. The cost of addiction can be great, but luxury rehab can provide personalized options for lasting change, doing more than just addressing isolated symptoms.

How do I know if I need professional rehab?

Many of those living with trauma or addiction may not be aware of the many ways it affects their physical health, mental health, or even behaviors. For many who have lived through traumatic experiences, feeling down or even hopeless can seem like the “norm.” However, there are signs that professional help can bring profound change.

If the effects of trauma, PTSD, or addiction begin to interfere with personal or professional life, such as calling out due to its symptoms, having difficulty holding a steady job, or experiencing friction in important personal relationships due to isolation or mood swings, professional care may be necessary.

Likewise, if drugs or alcohol feel necessary to placate difficult feelings or to numb the brain to difficult memories or flashbacks, professional care is paramount to develop new and healithier coping skills.

Talking to a professional about your experiences, daily life, and goals can all help determine if professional care with us is right for you. We are also available to explore new perspectives and help you realize your own goals at any stage of healing.

Do you only treat locals in Hawaii?

Not at all! We embrace our Hawaiian culture and serve the people of the island, but our doors are also open to out-of-state guests ready to put in the hard work to get to the core of their addiction. With guests from California, Oregon, Alaska, and across the entire continental USA, as well as treating the local people of Hawaii, Maui, and more across our islands, we are dedicated to creating a community of healing for all. Addiction and trauma can affect people from all walks of life, and we serve as a community to bring people together who are dedicated to their own healing and wellness.

Do you allow cellphones?

Yes, cell phones are permitted on-site after stabilization. You are never completely cut off from loved ones, and by balancing phone and device use with our on-grounds security, you can stay connected to those that matter most while still getting away from the things that may bring stress in your healing. Staying connected to loved ones in Washington while putting up boundaries with the elements of home that bring stress can create the support you need for change.

Do you have private rooms available?

Do you accept private insurance?

How long does treatment typically last?

Each person’s time with us is different. That includes the length of treatment. Likewise, treatment is divided into levels of care that have some variance as you reach new milestones. First is detox, which can typically last up to two weeks. Afterwards, many transition to residential treatment, with options lasting up to 90 days. However, we work with you every step of the way and are prepared to adjust the length of your program to fit your needs and goals, with 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day options as well as flexibility within these programs, so you never feel you are left without the support you need.

After residential treatment, your journey still continues. Intensive outpatient and aftercare options are part of your sustained healing journey, and can continue for as long as you are actively engaged in recovery and the healing community in Hawaii.
