The relationship between PTSD and substance use disorder is well documented.
Self-medicating with drugs or alcohol is common but not a good long-term solution for dealing with PTSD. Substance abuse, including excessive alcohol consumption or taking drugs, is sometimes used to self-medicate in an attempt to relieve PTSD symptoms. When suffering from PTSD, individuals may resort to substance abuse as an attempt to cope with the invasive thoughts and emotions associated with the disorder. Substance use can also provide temporary relief from psychological distress – making it easy to cycle between using substances and using them in larger quantities and more frequently than intended. The mymentalhealth.org app provides support specifically designed for those struggling with substance abuse caused by trauma, offering compassionate guidance every step of the way.
