Integrated Care for PTSD and Substance Use in Denver, CO
Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) while struggling with substance use can feel exhausting and isolating. At Mile High Recovery Center, we bring both challenges into one coordinated plan, so you don’t have to choose which to treat first. Our clinicians integrate a trauma-informed approach with addiction treatment to reduce torment, stabilize mood, and support long-term recovery.
Progress comes from clear goals and steady practice. Together, we chart your stress patterns, spot early warning signs, and build practical strategies to navigate triggers before they escalate. With compassionate support and structured programs, you can move from constant crisis response to confident, sustainable change.
What Dual Diagnosis Means for PTSD and Substance Abuse Recovery?
Dual diagnosis acknowledges that co-occurring disorders often reinforce one another. Trauma-related fear, irritability, and sleep disruption can drive alcohol or drug use for short-term relief, while ongoing abuse alters stress hormones and memory processing, making certain cognitive symptoms more persistent.
Recovery is most effective when both conditions are treated together. An integrated, trauma-informed care helps calm the nervous system, strengthen coping skills, and reduce the need to rely on substances for relief. With a coordinated plan, individuals gain a clearer understanding of what fuels their distress and learn practical tools to support steady progress.
Since symptoms often overlap – such as nightmares versus withdrawal-related insomnia, or agitation versus hyperarousal – a thorough assessment is key. Personalized treatment services help identify the root causes and guide the next steps, such as safety planning, managing cravings, and gradually processing trauma.
