Yes. When trauma symptoms and substance use reinforce one another, treating them within one coordinated plan gives the clinical team a clearer picture of what is driving the cycle. Our Trauma & PTSD Track integrates addiction treatment with psychiatric care, individual therapy, trauma-focused groups, emotional regulation, coping-skills development, and relapse prevention. The same treatment priorities can continue through Residential Treatment, PHP, and IOP as stability and independence increase.

After decades of treating complex addiction, we know lasting recovery requires addressing the factors that repeatedly pull someone back toward substance use. Call Admissions and tell us what has been happening. We will help determine the appropriate level of care and whether this track fits your needs.

No. You do not need to walk into treatment ready to tell your entire story. The Trauma & PTSD Track begins by helping you feel more stable, understand your reactions, regulate intense emotions, recognize triggers, and develop safer ways to cope. Seeking Safety, grounding, emotional regulation, boundaries, and present-focused skills allow meaningful trauma treatment to begin without requiring detailed disclosure before you are ready. Deeper trauma work is paced around clinical stability and treatment goals.

For many people who have spent years surviving through avoidance, substances, or emotional shutdown, that pacing matters. You can begin recovery exactly where you are. Admissions can explain what entering treatment looks like and help you take the first step.

You will have a clinical team around you that can respond as your needs change. If anxiety, intrusive thoughts, cravings, emotional overwhelm, or other trauma-related symptoms begin to intensify, the team reassesses your stability and adjusts the treatment approach. That can include additional grounding, distress-tolerance work, individual clinical support, psychiatric care, medication management, or changes in treatment intensity according to clinical need. The goal is to identify escalation early and help you respond before distress drives the same behaviors that have kept addiction going. You are not expected to manage those moments alone.

If trauma symptoms have made previous attempts at recovery difficult to sustain, talk with Admissions about how our Trauma & PTSD Track addresses that pattern directly.

Seeking Safety gives you practical tools for managing trauma-related distress without returning to substances. The approach focuses on present-day safety, grounding, emotional regulation, triggers, healthy boundaries, relationships, asking for help, warning signs, and relapse prevention. Those skills are reinforced through structured groups, individual therapy, treatment planning, and real-time support so they become usable during actual moments of stress. This is especially valuable for people who know that fear, memories, conflict, anxiety, or emotional pain repeatedly lead back to drinking or using.

Seeking Safety is one part of our broader Trauma & PTSD Track, where multiple clinical and recovery approaches work together around the same goal: helping you build a life that no longer depends on substances for relief. Speak with Admissions to learn how the track is incorporated into treatment.

The Trauma & PTSD Track follows the length and intensity of your underlying level of care because trauma treatment is integrated into the larger recovery plan. Typical Lighthouse ranges include 3 to 10 days for Detox, 30 to 90+ days for Residential Treatment, 2 to 6 weeks for PHP, and 4 to 12+ weeks for IOP. Your actual timeline depends on medical necessity, clinical progress, trauma severity, treatment goals, and readiness. Recovery is strengthened when each transition is intentional, so planning for the next stage begins early and can include continued treatment, Sober Living, psychiatric care, therapy, and recovery support. You do not need to determine the timeline yourself. Contact Admissions and the clinical team will help identify the right starting point and build the path forward.

Yes. Family involvement can be an important part of recovery when it supports the treatment plan. Trauma and addiction often affect trust, communication, boundaries, conflict, and the entire home environment, leaving families exhausted and unsure how to help. Family therapy, education, and guided support can help loved ones understand what is happening, recognize unhealthy patterns, strengthen communication, set healthier boundaries, and become more effective recovery supports. Our family systems approach also gives families a clearer role in what comes next after treatment. If you are trying to help someone you love and feel like nothing you have tried is working, you do not have to solve this alone. Call Admissions. We can help you understand the treatment options, the Trauma & PTSD Track, and the next appropriate step.

Yes, in most cases we can accept your policy. Lighthouse accepts 30+ commercial insurance plans and also provides private-pay and Medi-Cal/DMC pathways. Our Admissions team verifies benefits, reviews the available financial pathway, explains reported coverage and known financial responsibility, gathers the clinical information needed for screening, and helps coordinate the next step. You do not need to understand your policy before calling, and you do not need to decide whether you need detox, residential treatment, PHP, IOP, or the Trauma & PTSD Track on your own.
