Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Many of the clients treated at Montrose Place will be individuals suffering from the effects of abuse and trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of PTSD or unresolved trauma issues can be a primary cause of relapse and it is therefore of great importance that trauma is addressed by our team of clinicians during the treatment process. The team at Montrose Place are experienced in sensitively meeting the needs of this vulnerable population.
When the client arrives at Montrose Place, they are thoroughly assessed and provided with a treatment plan that will enable them to learn to understand the underlying causes of their depression, to transform their coping responses and recognize how to avoid subsequent addictions or dependencies.
Our extended care treatment programme for post traumatic stress disorder, as a co-morbid disorder, is an integrative programme that consists of the following elements:
• Assessment
• Psychiatry
• Psychotherapy
• Life skills and recreation programme
• Wellness programme
• Family programme
• Relapse prevention programme
• Resuming education initiative
• Continued care programme
• EMDR may be required in certain cases (see above)
