Why You Should Seek Treatment for PTSD and Addiction

PTSD and Addiction: Causes and Symptoms

PTSD and addiction often coexist, creating a complex dual diagnosis that requires a nuanced approach to treatment. At Lilac Recovery Center in San Diego, we recognize the intricate relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders (SUD). Understanding their causes and symptoms is the first step towards effective treatment of co-occurring substance abuse and PTSD.

  • Traumatic Experiences: Exposure to traumatic events such as combat, abuse, accidents, or natural disasters can lead to posttraumatic stress disorders, which often drive individuals to substance use as a coping mechanism.
  • Genetic Predisposition: A family history of mental health disorders or substance use disorders can increase the risk, suggesting a genetic link.
  • Environmental Stressors: Ongoing stress, lack of social support, and challenging life situations can exacerbate symptoms of both PTSD and addiction.
  • Psychological and Social Factors: Individuals with existing mental health conditions, low self-esteem, or a history of substance use are more susceptible to developing a dual diagnosis
  • Re-experiencing a Traumatic Event: Flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety related to past traumatic events.
  • Avoidance Symptoms and Numbing: Avoiding reminders of the trauma, emotional numbness, and detachment from others.
  • Hyperarousal: Constantly feeling on edge, experiencing insomnia, and having difficulty concentrating.
  • Substance Dependence: Relying on drugs or alcohol to manage PTSD symptoms, leading to physical and psychological dependence.
  • Comorbid Substance Use Disorder: The presence of both a stress disorder and substance use disorder simultaneously.
