Treatment

TRI provides individual and group psychotherapy for trauma survivors on an outpatient basis. It also provides group psychotherapy for trauma survivors in its Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). The PHP is accredited by The Joint Commission.

The treatment at TRI is not specific to any one type of mental disorder or addiction; rather it aims to treat the source of the problem, trauma.

Trauma can result from many different experiences during childhood, including:

• physical, sexual, verbal and emotional abuse
• emotional and physical neglect
• early loss of caretakers
• bullying
• domestic violence
• highly dysfunctional family dynamics
• prolonged medical and surgical treatments

Later in adolescence and adulthood it can include:

• sexual or physical assaults
• loss and bereavement
• accidents and natural disasters
• combat
• many other experiences

Severe trauma can produce many different mental disorders, and lead to addictions and self-defeating behaviors, including:

• PTSD
• dissociative disorders
• depression
• anxiety
• substance abuse
• borderline personality disorder
• eating disorders; lack of meaningful relationships
• lack of self- esteem
• other problems

The individual and group psychotherapy provided by TRI is based on Dr. Ross's Trauma Model Therapy [Ross, C.A., Halpern, N. (2009). Trauma Model Therapy: A Treatment Approach for Trauma, Dissociation, and Complex Comorbidity. Richardson, TX: Manitou Communications].

Medication Prescribing

• The focus at TRI is on psychotherapy.
• TRI expects you to obtain your prescriptions from your primary care physician, physician assistant or psychiatrist.
• TRI will not start anyone on a benzodiazepine, stimulant or narcotic.
• TRI does not provide detox or long term opiate maintenance.
• TRI does not manage withdrawal from medications - this takes longer than the time you will be in the Program.
