Trauma and substance use are often interconnected and can affect emotion regulation, interpersonal functioning, parenting/family relationships, and physical health. Some research shows that men are slightly more likely to self-medicate when living with PTSD, a trauma-related condition. Red Oak Recovery® provides trauma treatment and other men’s mental health treatment services at our center in North Carolina.
A Better Understanding of Trauma
No matter when it happens, trauma can affect you or your loved one in different ways. Different things in your life can trigger intrusive thoughts and memories; people, places, and situations can become too painful to interact with; guilt, shame, and hopelessness can make it hard to move forward. Drug or alcohol use—or addictive behaviors like gambling—can seem like easy ways to numb these difficult feelings, but eventually just make things worse.
About Our Trauma Treatment Program for Men near Asheville, NC
At Red Oak Recovery®, our men’s trauma treatment program provides a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. Clients engage in evidence-based therapies combined with experiential approaches to encourage emotional expression and connection. The program focuses on building healthy coping skills, improving relationships, and fostering self-awareness. With personalized care, we help men address the root causes of trauma for lasting recovery.
Various components make up our comprehensive trauma rehab, including:
- Individual therapy: Clients meet with a therapist for one-on-one therapy sessions two to three times per week to work on processing their trauma and emotions.
- Group therapy: Red Oak is a men’s treatment center, and our group settings provide safe spaces for individuals to share their experiences, learn from others, and build a support network.
- Family therapy: Trauma affects families, not just individuals. Family therapy helps to address and heal any strained relationships or dynamics.
- Holistic therapies: Clients engage in yoga, acupuncture, meditation, and exercise at our treatment center in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Our holistic approach helps clients regulate their emotions and cope with trauma in healthy ways.
- Education: Our team of addiction and mental health specialists educate clients about the effects of trauma on the brain and body. The more they understand their experiences and mental health, the better they can address their substance use.
- Aftercare planning: Trauma treatment at Red Oak also includes aftercare planning to ensure our clients have ongoing support and resources once they complete the program.
When you or your loved one starts at Red Oak, they’ll work closely with our team to create a personalized care plan because every person is unique and will respond to different types of treatment.
Our Approach to Trauma Treatment
Red Oak Recovery® is a special place for men to heal their entire body, mind, and spirit. We utilize multiple trauma and PTSD treatment modalities during our rehab programs to tap into the strength of each participant, with specially trained staff to guide them toward successful trauma recovery.
It is with compassion and understanding that we attempt to heal others. Our trauma-informed treatment program was specifically designed to combine the highest quality, leading-edge, and state-of-the-art, evidence-based trauma care with the most nurturing and thoughtful approach. We consult with renowned trauma expert Judy Crane, LMHC, CAP, ICADC, CSAT-R, to train our clinical team—many of which are certified trauma therapists.
“To discover the who, and why, the what, and how of our life is a journey that takes courage, resilience, compassion, desire to change, desire to understand, and willingness to stop the pain, despair, confusion, and sadness,” says Crane. Thoughts like these inform our trauma rehab program every day.
