How Coalition Recovery Addiction Rehab Tampa Florida Can Help

Substance abuse can be a common coping mechanism for dealing with the stressors of PTSD. To effectively treat an individual’s substance abuse, you must treat addiction and PTSD separately. Although treated separately, it is also important to coordinate the separate programs together. There are certain addiction therapies significantly beneficial to someone suffering from PTSD. Maybe more importantly, there can be certain therapies that can be toxic to the individual and other individuals in treatment. We use multiple therapies to help combat the symptoms of addiction. Individualized therapy is the primary focus to help with both addiction and PTSD. Our therapists use a variety of behavioral therapy techniques such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, Psychodynamic Therapy, Group Therapy, Pharmacotherapy, etc. We also provide a variety of holistic therapies. Holistic therapies (commonly confused with homeopathic therapies) are therapies that help heal the complete individual. These include yoga, meditation, massage therapy, physical therapy, art therapy, and music therapy among others. These help build positive emotional balance and usually boost one’s spirituality which can be extremely important with PTSD.
