Meet The Editorial Team

Published: September 21, 2022
Updated: October 4, 2022

Are you using drugs and alcohol as a key component of your life? Do you struggle not to use because you feel there’s just too much you don’t want to think about, and these substances help you to stop doing so? Childhood trauma and addiction go hand-in-hand. Not everyone who experiences trauma will use drugs or alcohol, but help is often beneficial for those who do. Our team at Red Oak Recovery® can provide you with that help.

If your childhood trauma has led to addiction, it’s time to seek help. At our addiction treatment center, we address the needs of men between the ages of 18 and 30 who are battling trauma, mental health, and addiction. To learn more about your treatment options at our men’s addiction treatment center in North Carolina, contact us today at 866.457.7590.

Why Are Childhood Trauma and Addiction Linked?

When a person experiences trauma of any type, the brain tries to fix the problem. This type of sudden and often incredibly profound experience to a person is very hard to understand by the brain. In some cases, people can process these fearful and worrisome events just fine. In other cases, the brain locks away those memories and tries to push them out of mind so that it can continue to deal with what’s happening now. Yet, this does not fix the problem. Childhood trauma and addiction tend to occur for several reasons.

For example, a person who has trauma in the past hasn’t dealt with it. Yet, the brain knows it is there. You may experience brief memories or even unexplained feelings at some points. Some men and women feel a sense of dread in certain environments. In other cases, they experience memories of what happened that can be devastating. To deal with those memories, some people use drugs and alcohol.

How Childhood Trauma Leads to Addiction

For those with childhood trauma, using drugs or alcohol can seem to help. These drugs can work to stop you from thinking about what happened. They can give you some type of mental break at that moment. You don’t have to “feel” anything. Yet, when this happens, it only masks the problem and creates a secondary level of difficulty for you. Addiction comes with its own set of life-changing and life-threatening outcomes.

What to Do to Manage Childhood Trauma and Substance Abuse

If you have childhood trauma and addiction, there are several things to remember. First, you do not have to deal with this on your own. There are numerous treatment programs available that can help you. You also will find that it is possible to overcome these feelings, thoughts, and memories without having to relive them. You do not have to go on living like this. Help can work for you, including our programs such as:

  • Trauma-based treatment
  • Drug addiction treatment
  • Holistic healing programs
  • Individual counseling programs
  • Experiential treatment programs
  • Men’s rehab program

No matter what you are facing, our team is here to help you overcome it. Reach out to us today for additional guidance.

The Benefits of Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Dual diagnosis treatment is one of the most effective ways to overcome addiction and trauma. With this type of care, you can address both the addiction and the trauma at the same time. This is so much better than just treating one or the other. When you have both issues, they tend to feed off each other. This can make it very hard to overcome either without specialized help.

With dual diagnosis treatment, you can get the help you need for both the addiction and the trauma. This type of care can provide you with:

  • A comprehensive treatment plan: You will have a detailed care plan that is designed just for you and your unique needs.
  • Customized care: Your care will be individualized to meet your specific requirements.
  • Treatment for co-occurring disorders: You will get care for both the addiction and the trauma so that you can heal fully.
  • Comprehensive services: You will have access to a wide range of services, including individual therapy, group therapy, and experiential therapy.
  • A safe and supportive environment: You will be in an environment where you can feel safe to heal and where you will be supported in your journey.

If you are ready to get help for both addiction and trauma, we are here for you. Reach out to our team today to get started with treatment. We can help you overcome these challenges and start living a better life.
