Learn more about PTSD treatment at Bayside Marin Treatment Center in California

The existence of any type of mental health condition can cause countless disturbances to arise in a person’s life, and the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder is no different. More commonly referred to as PTSD, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder develop after an individual has experienced, witnessed, or learned about a traumatic event, or series of events, to which he or she was incapable of appropriately coping with and has subsequently experienced disturbances in his or her ability to function. When the symptoms of PTSD are coupled with an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, the daily trials that an individual may face can be monumental. At Bayside Marin, we recognize how difficult it can be to face each day plagued by the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and we understand how much more profound the concerns become when the presence of PTSD is coupled with an addiction to drugs or alcohol. For this reason, we have created specialized, effective rehab programming that is designed to meet the needs of individuals who are suffering from this form of dual diagnosis. With treatment that is offered in a private, intimate setting overlooking Mount Tamalpais and the beautiful San Francisco Bay, clients who come to Bayside Marin Treatment Center in California can be assured that they will receive an unparalleled level of care.

Helping a loved one get treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder

If you have a family member or loved one who is plagued by the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and is simultaneously dealing with an addiction to drugs or alcohol, you are likely experiencing a wide range of troubling emotions. It can be heart-wrenching to watch the person you care for begin to change in so many ways as the symptoms of PTSD overpower his or her ability to function and the use of substances becomes his or her top priority. While you may feel at a loss for what you can do to help your help loved one overcome his or her turmoil, there are, in fact, some things that you can do that can help you be of most assistance to your loved one during this troubling time.

• Educate yourself on PTSD, drug addiction, and dual diagnosis.
• Research treatment options that specialize in treating individuals who are struggling with the co-occurring concerns of substance abuse and posttraumatic stress disorder.
• Express your concerns to your loved one and present him or her with the findings you have discovered in regards to potential treatment options.
• Offer to support your loved one by accompanying him or her to any appointments for assessments or tours of treatment centers that may be scheduled.
• Once your loved one has become engaged in treatment, inquire about what you can do to be a part of the therapeutic process. Adhere to recommendations offered by your loved one’s treatment provider in regards to ways that you can best support your loved one during and after treatment.
• Acknowledge the limitations of therapy and do not allow yourself to expect that your loved one will be cured instantly. Realize that it is a process that requires time, energy, and patience. Do not give up on your loved one. Be his or her constant beacon of hope, support, and encouragement.

Why consider treatment for PTSD at Bayside Marin Treatment Center in California

When an individual is suffering from PTSD and is not afforded the opportunity to engage in treatment, there are a number of negative consequences that may result. When the symptoms of untreated PTSD are compounded by the presence of an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol that has remained unaddressed, the repercussions can be devastating. The symptoms of PTSD often leave individuals incapable of adhering to daily tasks, responsibilities, and obligations. When this occurs, people may fall behind occupationally, no longer able to perform to the expected standard, potentially resulting in job loss and the onset of financial strife. The symptoms of PTSD have also been known to leave many individuals feeling the need to isolate themselves, ultimately leading to family strife, divorce, or disturbances amongst other important relationships. Furthermore, depending upon the specific type of substance that an individual finds him or herself addicted to, there can be any number of negative effects that are imposed upon his or her physical health as well. Fortunately, by engaging in appropriate therapeutic interventions, these detriments can be successfully avoided and people can live the happy, healthy lives that they deserve to be living.
