Informative Resource on Trauma: Addiction Rehab Treatment
http://AddictionRehabTreatment.com
“Untreated trauma can progress to anxiety and later depression, leading the sufferer to struggle for the rest of their lives.
Sufferers who are unwell because of traumatic events often resort to self-destruction, leading to dependency issues, long-term problems, and even abusive usage disorders. Overuse and abuse of trauma-related medications or alcohol and illicit drugs can lead to physical dependence, with the individual unable to cope without them. Tolerance means that the user must increase the dose over time to maintain the same initial effects. Addiction Rehab Treatment, is working hard to increase awareness of trauma and the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.
To help educate folks who may be struggling, we’ve built a resource page on the subject, which you can see here:
