Unresolved trauma can impact emotional regulation, interpersonal communication, physical health, and even familial relationships. When these issues become too difficult to cope with, many women resort to substance use and other forms of self-harm. A gender-specific trauma treatment program can help women overcome substance use and find a better way forward.
The young women’s therapy services at The Willows at Red Oak Recovery® are designed specifically for women aged 18–30. Our holistic approach and evidence-based practices address the unique needs and experiences of young women dealing with unresolved trauma. Call 828.518.6941 to get started.
Trauma Has Long-Term Effects
Experiencing trauma, especially childhood abuse, can lead to a range of mental health conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. When trauma leads to substance misuse, it is essential to find a treatment program to address the addiction, trauma, and other psychological concerns. Women are at particularly high risk of developing a substance use disorder when they have experienced physical and/or sexual trauma.
What Is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy is designed to help women dealing with unresolved trauma from events like childhood abuse, rape, and domestic violence. Many women who have experienced past traumatic events carry that pain and damage into their adulthood. Trying to overcome negative coping mechanisms, like substance abuse, that are caused by trauma without addressing the underlying causes is a significant barrier to recovery.
Women in treatment at The Willows at Red Oak Recovery® can take part in a range of trauma therapy programming, including group therapy,individual counseling sessions, and alternative therapies. By participating in these types of holistic activities along with traditional addiction therapy services, women can begin to rebuild their stress-management skills and cope with past trauma head-on.
