Trauma & PTSD Addiction Treatment
Life can often deliver hardships that leave scars beneath the surface—hidden wounds that affect every aspect of our existence. Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can cast a long shadow over our lives, often intertwining with addiction as individuals turn to substances in an attempt to numb their pain. If you or someone you love is seeking to find healing and release from the heavy burden of trauma, know that you are not alone. At Liberty House Recovery Center in Fenton, Michigan, we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to help individuals break free from the cycle of trauma, PTSD, and addiction while learning how to rebuild their lives in a meaningful way.
Trauma, PTSD, and Addiction in Michigan: A Crisis That Deserves Attention
Across Michigan, countless individuals confront the lingering effects of trauma, struggling to navigate lives shaped by painful past experiences. Trauma can result from a wide variety of life events—abuse, accidents, neglect, combat, loss, or other deeply distressing situations. For many, these experiences precipitate the development of PTSD, a condition that emotionally replays the pain and fear of past events long after they have occurred.
Often, these struggles lead to substance use as a way to dull the pain, creating a dangerous cycle where addiction compounds the emotional suffering already present. Substance abuse cannot treat the core wounds caused by trauma; instead, it adds layers of physical, emotional, and neurological damage. This combination of trauma, PTSD, and addiction can feel insurmountable—but with the proper support and treatment, healing is possible.
At Liberty House Recovery Center, we’ve designed a program that addresses trauma and PTSD alongside addiction, giving individuals the support they need to uncover their inner strength, regain control of their lives, and build a future worth looking forward to.

Understanding Trauma and PTSD
What Are Trauma and PTSD? Understanding the Causes and Risk Factors
Trauma is the emotional response to a distressing or life-threatening event. It can be acute, stemming from a single, overwhelming experience, or chronic, where ongoing stressors such as abuse, neglect, or persistent distress leave lasting emotional impacts. Trauma rewires the brain, causing it to remain on high alert, protecting you from harm that is no longer present. This state of hypervigilance can profoundly affect emotional regulation, decision-making, and overall mental health.
PTSD is one of the most severe responses to trauma. People who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events—whether a violent attack, natural disaster, serious accident, or prolonged abuse—may face repetitive, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or nightmares. PTSD isn’t just reliving a memory; it’s feeling the intensity of the original fear and pain as though the event is happening all over again.
Certain risk factors can make individuals more susceptible to PTSD. These include:
- Experiencing repeated or prolonged trauma.
- Exposure to trauma at a young age.
- Family history of mental health disorders.
- Lack of social support following a traumatic event.
- Co-occurring mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression.
Recognizing and addressing the causes of trauma and PTSD is the first step toward recovery. At Liberty House Recovery, we work to unearth these roots and provide paths toward healing that honor each individual’s unique experience.

Signs and Symptoms of Trauma and PTSD: Knowing When to Seek Help
Trauma and PTSD manifest differently for everyone, but there are common signs that someone may be struggling with these conditions. If you or a loved one is experiencing any of the following symptoms, it might be time to consider professional support:
- Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks related to the trauma.
- Avoidance of people, places, or situations that serve as reminders of the event.
- Persistent feelings of fear, shame, anger, or guilt.
- Nightmares and sleep disturbances.
- Mood swings, irritability, or frequent emotional outbursts.
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering details.
- A sense of being disconnected, numb, or emotionally distant from others.
- Hypervigilance—feeling on edge or overly aware of threats.
When left untreated, trauma and PTSD can result in further complications, including substance abuse, depression, and other severe mental health challenges. It’s heartbreaking to see lives derailed because individuals feel trapped in their pain, but it’s essential to remember that there is hope and help available.
When It's Time to Find a PTSD Rehab in Michigan
The decision to seek treatment can be overwhelming—it’s a realization that requires acknowledgment of your struggles and a willingness to reach out for help. Knowing when it’s time to enter a PTSD treatment program is crucial, especially when symptoms start interfering with daily life, relationships, or physical health.
Consider seeking treatment if:
- You feel you can no longer control your symptoms.
- You’ve turned to alcohol or drugs as a coping mechanism.
- You have frequent thoughts of self-harm or harming others.
- You’ve lost interest in things you once enjoyed.
- Loved ones express concern about your well-being.
If you see yourself or someone you care about in these circumstances, know that seeking professional treatment is not a sign of weakness—it’s an act of courage. Our PTSD and trauma treatment program at Liberty House Recovery is specifically designed for individuals in Michigan ready to confront their pain, find healing, and build the foundation for lasting recovery.

Our program integrates evidence-based therapy, trauma-informed care, and mental health support into a path toward recovery that values personal growth and long-term healing.

These sessions give individuals the opportunity to explore their trauma, share their experiences, and uncover healthier ways to process difficult emotions. Our licensed therapists create a compassionate environment where clients feel safe discussing their past and gaining new insight into how trauma has shaped their behaviors.
A proven tool for addressing PTSD, CBT helps individuals reshape thought patterns that reinforce emotional pain. Through structured sessions, clients learn how to challenge irrational beliefs and replace them with constructive, empowering thoughts that support recovery.
Learning to anchor yourself in the present moment is essential for freeing the brain from trauma’s grip. These techniques not only reduce anxiety and emotional reactivity but also enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation throughout the healing journey.
We incorporate practices such as yoga, meditation, and art therapy to promote the healing of the mind, body, and soul. These alternative therapies foster creativity, improve mood, and help individuals reconnect with themselves in a meaningful, nonverbal way.
