PTSD is often misunderstood.
It’s not just about veterans or extreme trauma—it can happen to anyone who has experienced a deeply distressing event.
At Peace Valley Recovery, we understand that for many people, trauma and substance use are deeply connected.
Here’s what PTSD can actually look like:
🔹 Nightmares or flashbacks that feel all too real
🔹 Avoiding places, people, or situations that bring back memories
🔹 Feeling constantly on edge, jumpy, or easily startled
🔹 Struggling with guilt, shame, or negative thoughts
🔹 Withdrawing from family, friends, or activities you used to enjoy
When trauma goes unaddressed, it can fuel the cycle of addiction, numbing the pain, but never healing the wounds. That’s why we offer trauma-informed addiction treatment, combining individual therapy, group support, and family involvement to help you heal both the addiction and the trauma that may be driving it.
💙 You are not alone, and recovery is possible.
