How trauma and substance use can overlap

Traumatic experiences and substance use can affect one another in complex ways. An adult may use alcohol or other drugs while trying to manage difficult thoughts, emotions, memories, or physical reactions. Substance use can then create further strain in relationships, work, health, and everyday responsibilities.

Trauma and substance use can affect each other
You can call without having every concern clearly defined

Support should consider the whole person rather than reducing someone to a diagnosis or behavior. River City Recovery provides adult outpatient substance use and mental health services. Clinical and medical assessments can help identify current concerns, patterns of use, mental health needs, and practical barriers to participating in care.

A person does not need to have every concern clearly defined before calling. Admissions can listen to what is happening and explain the available levels of care. If another resource is needed, care coordination and referrals may help connect the person with an appropriate next step.
