Trauma therapy is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. These experiences can include physical or emotional abuse, accidents, natural disasters, loss of a loved one, or any other event that causes significant psychological distress.
At Peachtree Detox, we believe that all of our clients are trauma survivors, regardless of their diagnosis, treating each client with empathy and respect. The goal of trauma therapy is to help individuals understand their trauma, manage the emotional and physical symptoms, and develop coping strategies to lead a fulfilling life.
We believe that healing takes various forms and can be found through a multitude of modalities. That’s why our Atlanta programs offer multiple types of trauma therapy that can include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a form of trauma therapy that helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors related to their trauma. It focuses on building skills to manage stress and anxiety, improving emotional regulation, and developing healthy coping mechanisms.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR uses guided eye movements to help individuals process and integrate traumatic memories. EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional distress associated with trauma and enable the person to develop a more adaptive perspective on the traumatic event.
Somatic Experiencing
This approach focuses on the body’s physical response to trauma. It helps individuals become more aware of their bodily sensations and teaches them techniques to release tension and restore a sense of safety and balance.
Alcohol Detox: Our alcohol detox program provides medical and therapeutic support to help individuals safely withdraw from alcohol. We integrate trauma therapy to address any underlying traumatic experiences that may contribute to alcohol use, promoting long-term recovery and emotional healing.
Drug Detox: Our drug detox program includes medical supervision, trauma therapy and other types of modalities. During drug detox, our primary goal is to help individuals overcome physical dependence on drugs while simultaneously addressing the traumatic experiences that may have led to substance use.
Dual Diagnosis: We believe that addiction is a mental illness. Our programs are all integrated with dual diagnosis care, addressing both the mental health needs and substance abuse diagnosis.
Inpatient Rehab: Once clients have completed our detox program, they may step down into residential or inpatient rehab. This program offers a safe and supportive environment for individuals to focus on their recovery, away from distractions. Trauma therapy is a key component of our program, helping clients process their traumatic experiences and develop strategies to prevent relapse.
The signs and symptoms of trauma can be far reaching. If you’ve experienced an event in your life that has affected your day-to-day life, you’ve experienced trauma. In general, the symptoms of trauma can include:
At Peachtree Detox, we’ve treated thousands of individuals struggling with addiction. Many individuals use substances as a way to cope with the overwhelming emotions and symptoms caused by trauma. This can create a cycle where trauma leads to substance use, and substance use exacerbates the effects of trauma. Addressing both trauma and addiction simultaneously is crucial for effective recovery and long-term healing.
Our therapists will work with you to create a safe space where you can explore your traumatic experiences and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Therapy sessions may include a combination of individual counseling, group therapy, and experiential therapies tailored to your specific needs.
