Trauma, trauma-related disorders, substance use, and addictive
disorders often co-occur, and frequently play a role in the
problems and issues that social workers contend with in their
practice with individuals, families, and communities. Research
shows that there is a relationship between trauma-related symptoms
and problematic use of substances and other addictive behaviors.
Individuals who experience these co-occurring problems have better
outcomes when their issues are addressed with integrated treatment
approaches. Trauma-informed care and trauma-specific treatment are
therefore important components of effective social work
interventions. This book examines various types of trauma, such as
intergenerational trauma, adverse childhood events, childhood
sexual abuse, and minority stress, amongst various populations and
settings, including Native Americans, homeless youth, drug court
participants, and LGB adolescents. It also explores the challenges
in delivering trauma services in outpatient addiction treatment
settings. Furthermore, it provides practical information on how to
implement trauma-informed approaches in addiction treatment, and
offers insights into the experience of a trauma survivor who is
also recovering from a substance use disorder. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social
Work Practice in the Addictions.
