Recovery Is Hard. We Help Make it Easier.

At Chattanooga Recovery Center, we walk alongside you as you work to overcome your addiction to live a sober life.

What is a Trauma Intervention Model?

We incorporate a trauma intervention model into our programming because there is a high co-occurrence between substance use and trauma. Our model draws from dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), which focuses on acceptance, mindfulness, and other skills aimed at improving behavior and wellbeing.

The four concepts of DBT used in our trauma intervention model are:

  • Core mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness helps people to focus on the present in order to calmly handle what is happening.
  • Distress tolerance: This skill teaches individuals to get through difficult times when emotions are running high.
  • Emotion regulation: Emotional regulation will help you feel strong feelings without acting on them.
  • Interpersonal effectiveness: Interpersonal effectiveness helps people to develop effective ways to get their needs met from others in a healthy way.

How Does a Trauma Intervention Model Work?

The trauma intervention model was designed to assist our residents in better managing their behaviors, emotions, and thoughts. This allows you to handle life’s challenges more effectively as well as have better relationships with others.

The foundations of trauma-informed care are:

  • Commitment to trauma awareness to better allow those suffering to cope
  • Understanding the impact of trauma and oppression so it doesn’t rule your life

During our trauma intervention model, you will learn techniques for managing stress and how to employ guided imagery to build coping mechanisms and resiliency for whatever you face in the future. By creating a safe space for patients, we can help restore power through skill-building and empowerment to and increase one’s self-worth through acceptance, compassion, and collaboration.

How is Trauma Related to Substance Abuse?

Patients in treatment for substance abuse are frequently found to be suffering from trauma. According to the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, it is estimated that individuals diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) seek treatment for a substance abuse disorder at a rate five times higher than that of the general population. This correlation is why we believe drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers should be equipped to relate to and treat residents for symptoms of trauma.
