Heal Deep Wounds with Trauma Therapy in Alabama

Therapeutic Work Beyond 12 Step Recovery and Sober Living
For many individuals, trauma lies at the core of their addiction. That’s why we partner with locally-based trauma therapists to provide comprehensive trauma-informed therapy outsourced in the community. This clinical support goes beyond the 12-step model, addressing the deep-seated issues that often contribute to substance use, providing residents with a holistic approach to recovery and healing.

Addressing Trauma is often Crucial for Long-Term Recovery

Comprehensive Care to Support Holistic Healing

Trauma often plays a pivotal role in the development of addiction, and addressing it is essential for sustainable recovery. At Common Ground Recovery, we understand the complexity of trauma and how it shapes the lives of our residents. Trauma-informed care, delivered in collaboration with licensed professionals outsourced in the community, helps residents confront and process difficult experiences in a safe, supportive environment. By integrating trauma therapy with our traditional recovery services, we offer residents a path to not just sobriety but genuine emotional and psychological healing.

It’s a common misconception that trauma doesn’t affect everyone. However, most of our residents arrive with fractured self-esteem, shaped by negative beliefs and a deep sense of shame. By addressing trauma, we help residents build a more positive sense of self, allowing them to break free from harmful patterns and cultivate a healthy and fulfilling life. Our goal is to provide the tools for residents to heal on all levels, improving their chances for long-term recovery success.

Evidence-Based Treatments for Lasting Recovery
Trauma modalities used with our locally based therapist focus on evidence-based treatments such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These approaches allow residents to process trauma safely and manage triggers without resorting to substances. Through these therapies, residents can begin to heal from past abuse, neglect, and other traumatic experiences, setting the foundation for a healthier life in recovery.
Reduce Relapse with Trauma-Informed Care
Research has shown that untreated trauma significantly increases the likelihood of relapse. By incorporating trauma-informed care into our recovery programs, we help residents develop coping mechanisms that support their sobriety. Healing from trauma not only improves mental health but also strengthens recovery outcomes, ensuring our residents are equipped for long-term success.
