Dual Diagnosis Treatment for PTSD and Addiction

Understanding Co-Occurring PTSD and Substance Addiction
When Trauma Meets Addiction, We Meet You with Compassion
PTSD and substance use disorders frequently occur together, creating a complex cycle that requires specialized care. Many individuals turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with PTSD symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety.
Research shows that people with PTSD are up to four times more likely to develop substance use disorders.
At Radix Recovery, we understand how trauma and addiction feed into each other, making it crucial to treat both conditions simultaneously through our comprehensive dual diagnosis program in Cedar Rapids.

FAQ
Your Recovery Questions Answered
Making decisions about treatment shouldn’t be complicated. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about our dual diagnosis programs.
How long should I go to therapy for PTSD?
The duration of therapy for PTSD varies based on individual needs, the severity of symptoms, and the type of treatment. Some individuals may benefit from short-term therapy lasting a few months, while others may require longer-term treatment. It’s crucial to work closely with your therapist to tailor the treatment plan to your specific recovery goals.
What insurance plans do you accept?
At Radix Recovery, we work with most major insurance providers to make treatment accessible to as many individuals as possible. Our admissions team will verify your insurance benefits before treatment begins and explain your coverage details. Please contact us directly for specific information regarding your insurance plan.
What Causes PTSD?
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is caused by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. This could include events such as military combat, natural disasters, serious accidents, sexual or physical assault, or any situation where one feels intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Not everyone who experiences trauma will develop PTSD; factors such as the severity of the trauma, individual coping mechanisms, and available support systems also play a role in the development of the disorder.
How do you overcome PTSD triggers?
Overcoming PTSD triggers involves identifying and understanding the specific triggers that lead to distress. Therapy techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help individuals reframe negative thoughts associated with these triggers. Mindfulness practices and grounding techniques can also be effective in managing reactions. Gradual exposure therapy may help desensitize individuals to triggers over time. Working with a therapist to develop personalized strategies is key to managing and overcoming PTSD triggers.
What makes PTSD worse?
Several factors can worsen PTSD symptoms, including exposure to reminders of the trauma, stress, additional trauma, or life changes. Substance abuse and lack of support can also exacerbate symptoms. Avoidance of trauma-related thoughts and feelings, while initially seeming helpful, can lead to increased anxiety and distress over time. It’s important to seek professional help to address these factors and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
