COMPREHENSIVE PTSD TREATMENT

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common long-term mental health issues. It is characterized by the inability of an individual to process singular or repetitive trauma in a healthy manner. Those who suffer from PTSD keep reliving their trauma and find themselves unable to remove themselves from their traumatic memories. Eventually this difficulty can end up impacting other areas of their lives, including job-loss, family estrangement and even substance abuse.

According to the National Center for PTSD, 25 to 75 percent of those who have survived abusive or violent trauma also report problems with alcohol use. Approximately 10 to 30 percent of survivors of accidental, illness, or disaster trauma report problematic alcohol use, especially if they are troubled by persistent health problems or pain.
