Substance use disorders are closely linked with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, personality disorders and schizophrenia.
In today's fast-paced society, with substances, experiences and products to stave off boredom everywhere, addiction is more common than ever. Unfortunately, many people who experience compulsive cravings for drugs or other harmful behaviors experience underlying issues that need to be addressed. Many people who turn to substance abuse do so because it fulfills a need. Far from being a moral failing, it's a legitimate reaction to a problem in your life. But whether you use drugs or alcohol to calm down after a hard day, get into the party spirit or ease the symptoms of anxiety, the help it lends is an illusion. And while these solutions seem effective in the short term, they do more harm than good long-term. Substance use disorders are very tricky. If you're in the throes of one, there's a good chance you've minimized the problem or brushed it off as a harmless coping mechanism. The truth is that abusing substances and coping with the perceived stigma of using them can alter brain chemistry, potentially leading to more serious problems. As someone going through this kind of turmoil, the last thing you need is judgment.

When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
