Men deal with unique circumstances around the development of trauma due to the social stigma of post-traumatic stress disorder (or PTSD) symptoms. However, PTSD and addiction are often interconnected. If you have been living with trauma, you may have found that substance use is one of the few ways to cope with the symptoms of PTSD. However, over time, these symptoms will worsen and lead to substance addiction. Without better tools for coping, you will fall back on addiction despite detox or rehabilitation experiences. This is why Red Oak Recovery® offers PTSD and trauma therapy. These robust, individualized programs can give you the tools you need to begin to repair unresolved trauma and fight relapse.

Effects of PTSD in Men

The effects of PTSD in men can be highly debilitating as the symptoms of PTSD can mimic those of mental illness. Over time, if left untreated, PTSD can lead to severe physical and emotional concerns. This means that these symptoms can worsen or lead to a mental health diagnosis. Some symptoms may become completely unmanageable, which puts your family and friends at risk, as well. Untreated post-traumatic stress disorder can lead to depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and severe sleep problems.

Men face many types of issues that are made worse by society’s expectations, and finding strong trauma therapy can be one of those problems, too. With Red Oak’s unique treatment programs, you can get individualized help so that your dual diagnosis or symptoms of PTSD will get the treatment required.

Long-Term Impact of PTSD

It is vital to address PTSD as early as possible because the long-term effects can be destabilizing. PTSD is a severe condition that often worsens as the years go on. Some of the following long-term impacts of PTSD have been reported by those who struggle with the effects of PTSD in men:

  • Social withdrawal
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Chronic pain
  • Guilt or shame
  • Suicidal thoughts

The ways that PTSD can affect you over time can be devastating to your daily life. Seeking the right care as early as possible is the best way to ensure that the above symptoms don’t ravage your life. However, help is possible with Red Oak Recovery®’s trauma therapy treatment. Our programs offer a holistic approach that is ideal for treating PTSD symptoms.

Symptoms of PTSD

Recognizing symptoms of PTSD is one way that you can help to heal yourself. By being aware of how PTSD can affect your moods, mind, and body, you can better plan for treatment if it is needed. Some of the following are recognizable symptoms of PTSD in men:

  • Isolation
  • Flashbacks
  • Insomnia
  • Risk behaviors
  • Inability to concentrate
  • Hypervigilance or being constantly on guard
  • Reduced ability to experience joy
  • Staying away from other individuals involved in the event
  • Avoid reminders of events that led to PTSD

If you recognize some of the above symptoms, it may be time to consider getting help from qualified professionals in a holistic environment. Our professional staff will treat both body and mind so that you can focus simply on getting better.
