Overview: Research conducted in the past ten years has dramatically increased awareness about the prevalence of trauma among people seeking treatment for alcohol and drug abuse. People dealing with the life-long effects of trauma are no longer seen as a subgroup. According to SAMHSA, 75% of individuals in substance abuse treatment report histories of abuse and trauma, and 12-24% of individuals in treatment have PTSD. Every individual seeking treatment, even those not showing symptoms of PTSD, should be asked about past trauma.
Objectives:
  • Learn the definition of trauma informed care.
  • Understand the link between PTSD and substance abuse.
  • Identify the impact of trauma on clients.
  • Describe the core elements of a culture of care.
  • Discuss elements of group therapy and trauma informed services.
