Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment
Reclaim Control, Find Peace, and Heal from Within
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can leave lasting emotional wounds, making it difficult to feel safe, connected, or at ease. Nightmares, flashbacks, and emotional numbness can disrupt relationships, work, and day-to-day life. When PTSD coexists with substance use, the path to recovery can feel even more challenging—but healing is possible.
At Heartland Recovery Center, we offer outpatient dual diagnosis treatment for individuals living with PTSD and substance use. Through trauma-informed care, personalized therapy, and holistic practices, we help clients process past experiences and restore a sense of safety and control.
"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently."
Understanding PTSD
When Past Trauma Continues to Shape the Present
PTSD is a mental health condition that can arise after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. These events may include abuse, violence, accidents, combat, or natural disasters. While some distress is expected after trauma, PTSD occurs when symptoms linger and begin to interfere with your ability to function in daily life.
Common signs and symptoms of PTSD include:
– Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts
– Avoidance of places, people, or memories related to the trauma
– Feelings of guilt, shame, or emotional detachment
– Irritability, hypervigilance, or exaggerated startle response
– Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
Many individuals use substances in an attempt to numb these painful experiences, which often deepens emotional distress. Addressing both trauma and substance use together is essential for full and lasting recovery.
