Women & Trauma-Treatment-Recovery

Women & Trauma in Recovery


Trauma experienced in women's life can have life altering-long term effects that can result in addictions. Some trauma can be experienced once, and also repeatedly in a women's life. The psychiatric definition of "trauma" is "an event outside of normal human experience." Trauma generally leaves a woman feeling powerless, helpless, and paralyzed. It tends to be sudden and overwhelming; it "owns" her. A woman who has experienced trauma cannot think clearly during and after a severe trauma; at the same time, she is forced to focus her consciousness in an attempt to deal with life and the situation. One example of trauma can be described as "any sudden and potentially life-threatening event".

Some examples of one time trauma events can include natural disasters (earthquake, flood, hurricane, etc), rape, assault, muggings, robbery, accidents (automobile, airplane, train, etc) and fires. Examples of reoccurring trauma can include physical or sexual abuse as a child or spouse, war, life in a prison camp, life as a refugee, hostage situations, life in a concentration camp, and life in some religious cults. This list is in no way exhaustive, and each woman experiences her trauma in a unique and personal way.

Opiate addiction and treatment for women at Balboa Horizons Treatment Center

Opiate addiction and treatment for women at Balboa Horizons Treatment Center: "Opiate Addiction Treatment Track

Opiates are powerfully addictive, both physically and psychologically; the withdrawal process is severe. Symptoms of withdrawal include suicidal ideation, cold sweats, immobility, insomnia, severe diarrhea, abnormal body temperature and heartbeat, and clinical depression. Professional help is needed.

Abuse of prescription drugs is rising among American young adults even as use of other drugs seems to be leveling off or declining, according to research statistics. Not everybody who begins using opiates is addicted to them. Many times they are prescribed them for legitimate pain management. Over time though the addictive nature of the drug will cause them to become addicted to them. And while some people will continue abusing opiate pain relievers long-term, others will graduate to using other drugs from the opiate family such as heroin or morphine."
