EMDR therapy was developed in the late 80s as a way to help people affected by PTSD. This is perhaps the quintessential trauma-related mental health condition. It produces multiple effects that combine to make you feel highly distressed and reduce your ability to function. Today, EMDR is also used to help people whose trauma symptoms don’t meet the criteria for PTSD.

Do you or your loved one need EMDR as part of your treatment for drug or alcohol problems? Our South Carolina EMDR services can help you deal effectively with the ongoing impact of past traumas.

Learn more about our top-rated South Carolina drug rehab's EMDR therapy program and how it can help.
