Addiction is a complex battle that often has deep-seated emotional and psychological roots. At Impact Wellness Network (IWN), with locations across Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, we understand the importance of integrating trauma-informed care into our addiction support programs. This approach is vital in addressing the underlying causes of addiction and guiding individuals toward lasting recovery.

Trauma, whether from childhood experiences, abuse, neglect, or other distressing events, profoundly impacts mental and emotional well-being. These experiences often lead to substance abuse as a coping mechanism.

Studies indicate a higher likelihood of addiction in individuals with a history of trauma. Understanding this connection is essential for effective treatment strategies.
