The Importance of Trauma-Informed Care in Addiction Recovery
Healing begins with safety and trust.
Our trauma-informed care helps you rebuild strength,
restore hope, and reclaim your true self.
At Penfield Addiction Ministries, we understand that addiction often stems from unresolved trauma. Our trauma-informed care approach addresses these underlying issues, offering specialized treatment programs on separate campuses for men and women. By creating a safe, supportive environment, we help individuals process their traumas and achieve lasting recovery.
Addressing Underlying Traumas Unresolved trauma is a significant factor in addiction development. At Penfield, we provide a safe space for men and women to begin to explore and process their traumas, allowing them to understand the root causes of their addiction and work towards healing.
Understanding Trauma-Informed Care Trauma-informed care integrates knowledge of trauma into treatment plans, prioritizing safety, compassion, and support. This approach helps individuals begin to heal from past traumas and regain control over their lives.
