Causes and Conditions: Integrating a Trauma-Informed Approach into Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Causes and Conditions: Integrating a Trauma-Informed Approach into Substance Use Disorder Treatment
This presentation will explore the neurobiology of substance use disorders, emphasizing the role trauma plays in shaping maladaptive responses and the importance of trauma-informed care. In addition to examining the fight, flight, and freeze response and the reinforcement of substance use through reward and relief mechanisms, Dr. Sumrok will present data on how various traumas have been linked to adverse health outcomes. Designed for healthcare decision-makers, Dr. Sumrok’s presentation will highlight the importance of addressing root causes of substance use rather than just symptoms, equipping teams with strategies to implement effective, trauma-informed care practices.
