Learn About Trauma-Focused TherapyTrauma rarely travels alone

Questions people ask about trauma treatment
Straight answers about approach, complex trauma, timing, and coverage.
Is trauma treated on its own, or only alongside substance use?+
Trauma is treated as its own focus, not an afterthought to substance use. When the two overlap, our clinical team treats both on the same plan, on the same timeline.
What's the difference between trauma and complex trauma?+
Trauma can come from a single event. Complex trauma develops from repeated or prolonged experiences over time. Both are treated seriously here, with an approach matched to what you've actually been through.
What kind of therapy is used for trauma?+
Trauma-focused therapy: Addressing what is underneath the substance use, not just the substance use itself, tailored to your specific history and what you're ready for.
I've avoided dealing with this for years. Is it too late to start?+
It's not too late. However long you've been carrying this, real treatment can still help, whatever point you're starting from.
Does trauma treatment happen at every level of care?+
Yes, from residential to outpatient. Your team determines the right starting point based on what you're experiencing.
Does insurance cover trauma treatment?+
In most cases, yes. We're in-network with most major providers and verify your specific benefits before you commit to anything. We do not currently accept Medi-Cal or Medicare. If that's your coverage, call us, we'll tell you straight away and point you toward a resource that can help.
