What is PTSD Therapy?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) therapy encompasses various evidence-based treatment approaches designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we understand that many individuals struggling with addiction have also experienced trauma, creating a complex web of challenges that require specialized attention and care.
PTSD therapy works by helping individuals develop healthy coping mechanisms, process traumatic memories in a safe environment, and rebuild their sense of safety and control. Our experienced team recognizes that trauma and addiction often go hand in hand, which is why we incorporate trauma-informed care into our recovery programs, ensuring that each resident receives comprehensive support for both their addiction and any underlying trauma.
Psychiatrists
Psychiatric care plays a crucial role in comprehensive addiction recovery, particularly for individuals dealing with co-occurring mental health conditions such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety. At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we work closely with qualified psychiatrists who specialize in addiction medicine and dual diagnosis treatment.
Our psychiatric partners provide thorough assessments, medication management when appropriate, and ongoing monitoring to ensure that residents receive the most effective treatment for their unique situations. We believe that addressing both the addiction and any underlying mental health conditions is essential for achieving lasting recovery and helping our residents build the foundation they need for long-term success.
Social Workers In The Healthcare Setting
Social work plays a vital role in supporting individuals throughout their recovery journey at Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia. Social workers help residents navigate the complex healthcare system, connect with community resources, and develop the life skills necessary for successful reintegration into society.
Our social work partners assist residents with practical matters such as employment preparation, housing transition planning, family reunification when appropriate, and accessing ongoing support services. They serve as advocates and guides, helping residents rebuild their support networks and develop the tools they need to maintain their sobriety while rebuilding their lives in a healthy, sustainable way.

At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we approach PTSD treatment through a trauma-informed care model that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and integrates this understanding into our recovery programs. We work with qualified mental health professionals who employ evidence-based treatment methods specifically designed to address post-traumatic stress.
Our treatment approach includes connecting residents with therapists who specialize in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other proven therapeutic modalities. We ensure that our living environment supports healing by maintaining a safe, predictable, and supportive atmosphere where residents can focus on their recovery without additional stressors.

What Are The Four Phases Of PTSD?
Understanding the phases of PTSD helps our team at Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia provide appropriate support to residents throughout their healing journey. The four recognized phases include the impact phase, where the traumatic event occurs and immediate reactions begin; the rescue phase, characterized by the initial response and seeking safety; the recovery phase, where individuals begin processing the trauma and working toward healing; and the integration phase, where individuals work to incorporate their experience into their life story in a healthy way.
During each phase, different types of support and intervention may be most beneficial. Our staff is trained to recognize where residents may be in their trauma recovery process and can connect them with appropriate resources and support systems to help them navigate each phase successfully while maintaining their sobriety.
Impact
The impact phase of trauma represents the immediate aftermath of a traumatic experience, often characterized by shock, disbelief, and intense emotional responses. At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we understand that many residents may still be processing recent traumatic events while also working on their addiction recovery, requiring specialized care and understanding.
During this phase, individuals may experience heightened anxiety, confusion, and difficulty processing what has happened to them. Our supportive environment provides the stability and safety necessary for residents to begin their healing journey, surrounded by staff and peers who understand the complexities of trauma and addiction recovery.
Denial
The denial phase often involves individuals minimizing the impact of their traumatic experiences or attempting to avoid dealing with difficult emotions and memories. At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we approach this phase with compassion and patience, understanding that denial can be a protective mechanism that individuals use to cope with overwhelming experiences.
Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that pushing too hard too quickly can be counterproductive. Instead, we focus on building trust, providing consistent support, and creating an environment where residents feel safe to begin exploring their experiences when they are ready to do so.
Short-term Recovery
During the short-term recovery phase, individuals begin to acknowledge their trauma and start developing coping strategies to manage their symptoms. At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, this phase often coincides with early addiction recovery, making comprehensive support essential for success in both areas.
We provide access to qualified mental health professionals who can help residents develop healthy coping mechanisms, process their experiences, and build the skills necessary for managing both trauma symptoms and addiction triggers. Our structured environment supports this healing process by providing consistency, safety, and peer support.
Long-term Recovery
Long-term recovery from PTSD involves integrating the traumatic experience into one’s life story in a way that allows for continued growth and healing. At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we support residents through this process by helping them develop long-term coping strategies, build healthy relationships, and prepare for successful reintegration into the community.
This phase often involves continued therapy, ongoing support group participation, and the development of a strong support network. We work with residents to ensure they have access to continued care and support even after they transition from our facility, recognizing that recovery is an ongoing process that requires long-term commitment and support.
Can PTSD Be Cured with Trauma Treatment?
While PTSD may not be “cured” in the traditional sense, it can be effectively treated and managed through appropriate trauma treatment approaches. At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we work with mental health professionals who help residents develop the tools and strategies necessary to manage their PTSD symptoms while maintaining their sobriety.
Many individuals with PTSD go on to live fulfilling, productive lives when they receive appropriate treatment and support. The combination of trauma therapy, peer support, and a stable living environment can significantly reduce PTSD symptoms and improve overall quality of life. Our approach focuses on helping residents build resilience, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and create the foundation for long-term recovery from both trauma and addiction.
Trauma-Sensitive Yoga
Trauma-sensitive yoga has emerged as a valuable complementary treatment for individuals recovering from both trauma and addiction. At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we recognize the importance of mind-body healing approaches and encourage residents to explore various wellness practices that support their recovery journey.
This specialized form of yoga emphasizes choice, safety, and empowerment, allowing participants to reconnect with their bodies in a positive, healing way. While we may not offer yoga classes directly on-site, we connect residents with community resources where they can access trauma-sensitive yoga and other wellness practices that support their overall healing and recovery process.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture represents another valuable complementary treatment option for individuals dealing with trauma, PTSD, and addiction recovery. This ancient practice has shown promising results in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, and other symptoms commonly associated with both trauma and addiction.
At Reprieve Recovery Philadelphia, we support residents in exploring various holistic treatment approaches, including acupuncture, as part of their comprehensive recovery plan. We can help connect residents with qualified acupuncturists in the Philadelphia area who have experience working with individuals in recovery and understand the unique challenges they face.
