Dana Point Rehab Campus has announced that its therapist Dr.
John Biroc has published a new feature for his biweekly column, entitled
œUnderstanding Childhood and Adolescent Trauma to Shed Light on the Understanding of Addiction. Dana
Point Rehab Campus is a premier addiction treatment center in Orange
County with science-based treatment programs for people with substance
and alcohol use disorders.
Within the blog post, Dr. Biroc highlights an old myth about a young
knight and warrior who is challenged to fight his way through a
dangerous cave rather than go around the mountain that houses the cave.
The myth serves as a metaphor for addiction therapy in that patients who
struggle with addiction can receive therapy to œfight the trauma and
leave the cave as stronger individuals after having conquered their
demons. He discusses how people who experienced trauma during childhood
can face their trauma to overcome and recover from addiction
successfully, much like how the warrior in the myth conquered demons and
lived happily ever after. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
reports that physical and emotional trauma significantly increases the
risk of drug use and substance use disorders. Results from a study
published in Depression and Anxiety reflect
these same findings, stressing that exposure to trauma during childhood
is linked to substance use disorders. In the highly traumatized
population evaluated in the study, rates of lifetime dependence were
44.8 percent for marijuana, 39 percent for alcohol, 34.1 percent for
cocaine, and 6.2 percent for opioids. Additionally, high levels of
cocaine use were strongly associated with physical, sexual, and
emotional abuse during childhood. Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is used at Dana Point Rehab Campus to
help patients recover from both their trauma and substance use
disorder. This therapy helps patients face, address, and overcome the
root cause of their substance use disorder, and teaches them how to cope
with trauma in healthy ways without the use of drugs and alcohol.
Combining trauma-focused CBT with substance abuse treatment can provide
patients with the empowerment and education they need to achieve
long-term sobriety. Dana Point Rehab Campus is accredited by the Joint Commission and
offers evidence-based addiction treatments including medical detox and
inpatient residential rehab. Call 949-239-7557 today to learn more about
