When trauma touches our lives, its aftermath can be profound and far-reaching. For many individuals, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) emerges as a result. Unfortunately, many of those struggling with PTSD also grapple with substance abuse as a way to cope. At Denovo Recovery, we understand the intricate relationship between PTSD and substance abuse, and we are here to help.
The Vicious Cycle of PTSD and Addiction
It’s not uncommon for those with PTSD to turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to numb the pain or to try and forget the traumatic event. However, this temporary relief can quickly spiral into addiction. Here’s how the cycle typically unfolds:
- Seeking Relief: The individual uses drugs or alcohol to dampen the symptoms of PTSD.
- Dependence Develops: Over time and with continued use, physical and emotional dependence on the substance grows.
- PTSD Symptoms Worsen: Rather than alleviating PTSD symptoms, substance use can exacerbate them.
- Increased Substance Use: As the PTSD symptoms intensify, the individual consumes even more of the substance trying to find relief.
If you or someone you know is caught in this cycle, remember, there is hope.
