Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are silent battles fought by countless individuals. These conditions can be debilitating, casting a shadow over one’s life, but there is hope for those who seek help and support. Those who don’t seek treatment, however, are at an increased risk of substance abuse, addiction, and other mental health issues that can affect their overall quality of life.
At Moving Mountains Recovery, we hold a firm belief that the root cause of addiction must be treated in order for people to recover and enjoy healthy, fulfilling lives. That’s why our program is designed to assess your individual needs and provide treatment that’s right for you. Since we often see clients who have experienced trauma or have developed PTSD as a result of their traumatic experiences, we offer comprehensive trauma and PTSD treatment in New Jersey.
Trauma is an emotional response to a distressing event that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope effectively. Trauma can take many forms, from a single catastrophic incident, such as a car accident or natural disaster, to prolonged exposure to dangerous or distressing situations, like domestic abuse, childhood neglect, or combat.
Trauma is not one-size-fits-all; it can be experienced differently from person to person. What may be traumatic for one individual might not have the same impact on another. This variability stems from a combination of factors, including personal resilience, support systems, and the nature of the traumatic event itself.
Trauma can manifest in various ways, and its effects can persist long after the traumatic event has occurred. Some common psychological responses to trauma include:
Flashbacks:
Nightmares:
Hyperarousal:
Without treatment, these symptoms can progress into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a specific mental health condition that can develop in response to trauma. It is characterized by a cluster of anxiety-related symptoms that profoundly affect an individual’s life. These symptoms can persist for months or even years following the traumatic event. Signs and symptoms of PTSD are:
Re-experiencing Trauma Symptoms:
Avoidance & Numbness of Emotions:
About 6% of the U.S. population will experience PTSD at some point in their lives. If you or someone you love is struggling with PTSD, please contact our team at Moving Mountains Recovery to learn about our trauma & PTSD treatment program in New Jersey.
It’s common for individuals to attempt to cope with their symptoms on their own, but doing so often leads to worsened conditions and delayed recovery. Seeking help from a trauma and PTSD treatment program is a crucial first step.
Trauma and PTSD are generally treated with a trauma-informed approach. Trauma-informed care recognizes the prevalence of trauma and seeks to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking help. It involves understanding how trauma impacts individuals and integrating this knowledge into all aspects of treatment. We offer partial care programs, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs to meet the varying levels of need our clients present. Regardless of the program you choose, you will experience a combination of our many therapies and services.
Some of the therapies that may be used to treat trauma and PTSD include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR):
Medication may also be used in conjunction with therapy to alleviate PTSD symptoms. For example, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other antidepressants may be prescribed to manage symptoms such as anxiety and depression often associated with PTSD.
Additional aspects of treatment may include:
