Highlights of Trauma-Informed Care Services
Trauma is defined as the “experience of an event or enduring conditions in which the individual's ability to integrate his/her emotional experience is overwhelmed and the individual experiences (either objectively or subjectively) a threat to his/her life, bodily integrity, or that of a caregiver or family.” This can include developmental trauma, due to events occurring in childhood/adolescence, and relational trauma, as well as trauma following a terrifying experience, such as witnessing a fatality or surviving a life-threatening accident.
Separation, unresolved grief, and neglect may also cause trauma that impacts a person’s ability to function. Other experiences that involve a lack of control, feelings of helplessness, betrayal, rejection, and/or repeated violations of boundaries can also result in trauma.
When trauma is left untreated over time, it can become debilitating to mental health and often may result in substance use.
Symptoms of Trauma
People who have experienced trauma may feel:
- Rage
- Betrayal
- Powerlessness
- An inability to trust self or others
- A need to be on constant high alert for danger
- Extreme anxiety
- Chronic fear
- Feeling out of control
- Overwhelming sense of shame
Trauma Treatment at Caron
We want to help you overcome addiction and trauma symptoms so that you can live your best life. Every Caron treatment program begins with a comprehensive assessment. Based on the assessment and the patient’s readiness, the treatment team determines a specific treatment plan with therapies to meet each patient's needs, including trauma treatment if indicated.
Caron Renaissance
The modalities used at Caron Renaissance to treat trauma include:
- Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that helps to decrease symptoms
- Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to deal with and decrease the trauma symptoms the patient experiences
- Neurofeedback, a brain-based therapy that gives patients a way to regulate dysfunctional activity and reinforce healthy brain function
The treatment team may also recommend complementary, holistic therapies such as:
- Mindfulness meditation to manage stress, sleep better, and reduce chronic pain
- Yoga to practice self-care and healthy coping mechanisms to manage stress and anxiety, gain self-awareness, and stay centered
-
Breathwork to release tension, energize the body, restore sleep, and bring about optimal brainwave states
- Physical activity to release tension and bring more energy to the body to aid the healing process
Caron Ocean Drive
