Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that can have long-lasting effects on a person’s life. It’s more common than we often realize. Many people experience trauma at some point, whether it’s from a single event or ongoing difficult situations. When trauma isn’t addressed, it can lead to many problems, including substance use disorders (SUDs). This means turning to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with the intense pain and emotions. Understanding this connection is the first step towards healing. At Asana Recovery, we believe that acknowledging and addressing trauma is essential for successful addiction treatment and lasting recovery. Contact Us today to learn how we can help.
Trauma isn’t just one thing; it can take many forms. Understanding the different types can help you recognize its impact on your life or the life of someone you care about.
Common sources of trauma include abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual), neglect, accidents, natural disasters, and witnessing violence. The effects of trauma can be profound, leading to anxiety, depression, difficulty regulating emotions, and problems with relationships. If you are struggling with past trauma and addiction, Dual Diagnosis Treatment can help.
Trauma doesn’t just affect your mind; it changes your brain. Understanding these changes can help you understand why you might feel or act differently after experiencing trauma.
Thankfully, the brain has an amazing ability to heal and adapt, called neuroplasticity. With the right support and therapy, it’s possible to rewire the brain and recover from the effects of trauma. Contact Us to learn how our therapies can help you heal from trauma and addiction.

We get it. Addiction recovery is tough. That’s why our programs are founded and staffed by people in recovery – people who truly understand.
Trauma-informed care is an approach to treatment that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and aims to create a safe and supportive environment where healing can begin. It’s based on these key principles:
Integrating trauma-informed care into addiction treatment has many benefits, including increased engagement in treatment, reduced relapse rates, and improved overall well-being. At Asana Recovery, we are committed to providing trauma-informed care. Our therapists are trained to understand and address the unique needs of individuals who have experienced trauma. Learn more about our comprehensive treatment programs by visiting our Residential Treatment page.
Several therapies have been proven effective in treating both trauma and substance use disorders. These therapies help individuals process their traumatic experiences, develop coping skills, and build resilience.
These therapies, often used in combination, can provide a powerful path to healing and recovery. If you’re ready to take the next step, Insurance Verification is available to help you understand your options.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) involves the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. While MAT is often associated with opioid and alcohol addiction, it can also play a supportive role in trauma recovery. These medications can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier for individuals to focus on therapy and address their underlying trauma.
MAT can help stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep, all of which can be disrupted by trauma. It’s important to remember that MAT is not a replacement for therapy, but rather a tool that can support the healing process. At Asana Recovery, we offer comprehensive Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) programs tailored to individual needs. To understand if MAT could be right for you, Contact Us to learn how we can help.
Addiction and trauma often impact not only the individual struggling but also their family and loved ones. Family and couples therapy can provide a safe space to address the relational trauma that may have resulted from addiction and trauma. These therapies can help improve communication, rebuild trust, and develop healthier relationship patterns.
Family therapy can help family members understand the impact of trauma and addiction, learn how to support their loved one in recovery, and address their own needs. Couples Therapy can help partners heal from the impact of addiction and trauma on their relationship, improve communication, and rebuild intimacy. At Asana Recovery, we recognize the importance of family involvement in recovery and offer specialized family and couples therapy programs. Discover more about these programs and how they can benefit your family by Contact Us today.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) offer a structured and supportive environment for individuals who need more than traditional outpatient therapy but don’t require the intensity of residential treatment. IOPs can be particularly beneficial for individuals with trauma and substance use disorders.
IOPs typically involve several hours of therapy per week, including individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. They provide a supportive community where individuals can connect with others who understand their struggles, develop coping skills, and learn how to manage triggers. They allow you to live at home while receiving intensive treatment. Asana Recovery’s IOPs are designed to be flexible and adaptable to meet the individual needs of each client. For those needing flexibility, we also offer Virtual IOP.
Healing from trauma and addiction requires a holistic approach that addresses the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. In addition to evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches can play a vital role in the recovery process.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
