What Is Trauma Informed Care?
Trauma informed care is an approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma on individuals, families, and communities. It acknowledges that trauma can affect mental, emotional, and physical well-being, often leading to addiction and other destructive behaviors. At Embark Recovery, we embrace a trauma-informed approach to treatment as we believe that healing begins with understanding.
The Core Principles of Trauma Informed Care
Safety
Creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel secure, both physically and emotionally. This fosters understanding, trust, and growth.
Trustworthiness
Establishing trust through clear boundaries, open communication, and a commitment to maintaining confidentiality.
Empowerment
Creating and supporting a sense of empowerment and choice for individuals on their healing journey, allowing them to be active participants in their recovery.
Collaboration
Promoting collaboration among staff, clients, and the community to address the unique needs of each individual.
Attention to Cultural Sensitivities
Recognizing and respecting the cultural, social, and gender-based factors that may impact trauma and recovery.
Finding Resiliencies and Strengths
Identifying and nurturing the inherent strengths and resilience within each person. It is important to call these out so the individual realizes the strength they carry.
Understanding
Educating staff and patients about the effects of trauma and the ways it can manifest in behaviors and emotions.
Types of Trauma Informed Care We Offer
There are many ways to approach trauma informed care. At Embark Recovery, we offer several pathways to success at our locations in Scottsdale and Prescott, AZ.
Individual therapy is a cornerstone of trauma informed care. Our experienced therapists work one-on-one with clients, helping them explore their trauma and its impact on their lives, providing tools to cope and heal.
Group therapy provides a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, gain support from peers, and develop a sense of belonging. It encourages clients to build connections and learn from others who have faced similar challenges.
Trauma doesn’t just affect the individual. It often has a profound impact on families. Our family therapy sessions aim to heal the family unit, addressing underlying issues and fostering communication and understanding.
Mindfulness practices can help individuals reconnect with their bodies and emotions. This approach focuses on being present in the moment and can be a powerful tool for managing trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety and flashbacks.
Art and expressive therapies offer alternative ways to explore and process trauma. Creative expression can be a powerful outlet for emotions that are difficult to put into words.
Holistic approaches encompass practices like yoga, meditation, and acupuncture. These techniques can aid in relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being, helping individuals reconnect with their bodies and minds.
Case managers work with clients to identify and address practical challenges that may be related to their trauma, such as housing, employment, or legal issues. This support enables individuals to focus on their recovery.
Benefits of Trauma Informed Care
Trauma informed care offers many benefits for individuals seeking recovery, as well as for the professionals who provide support and the communities that embrace this approach.
One of the most significant benefits of trauma-informed care is the improvement in overall well-being. By addressing the emotional and psychological wounds caused by trauma, individuals experience a profound sense of relief, leading to increased emotional stability, reduced anxiety, and decreased depression.
Trauma informed care delves into the root causes of addiction and self-destructive behaviors. By focusing on healing trauma, individuals build a stronger foundation for long-term recovery. This significantly reduces the rates of relapse, increasing the chances of maintaining sobriety.
Many individuals dealing with addiction also struggle with simultaneous mental health issues. Trauma informed care recognizes the interconnectedness of mental health and addiction. Addressing trauma often leads to improvements in mental health conditions such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression.
Trauma informed care equips individuals with practical coping strategies to manage trauma-related symptoms. Patients learn how to recognize and respond to triggers, reducing the likelihood of destructive behaviors and addiction relapses. These skills help them navigate life’s challenges with resilience.
Trauma can deeply affect relationships with family, friends, and the broader community. By addressing trauma, individuals often experience a profound shift in their ability to connect with others, leading to healthier, more fulfilling relationships. This restoration of social bonds is essential for long-term recovery and overall well-being.
Trauma informed care aims to prevent retraumatization by creating environments that are safe, supportive, and understanding. This reduces the likelihood of individuals experiencing further trauma while seeking help.
