How is PTSD treated alongside addiction?

Together, by one team, in the same month. AnchorPoint holds that most addiction is rooted in trauma, so trauma therapy such as EMDR, CBT, DBT and IFS is the core of the work, with group, 12-step meetings, the trails and the gym. The medical team manages sleep, mood and medication with you.

Do I have to talk about my trauma right away?

You talk when you’re ready. The work goes at your pace, one-on-one with your own therapist behind a closed door, and in group when you choose to share. The hardest parts come when you and your therapist decide it’s time.

Is EMDR offered in PTSD rehab?

Yes. EMDR is done with a designated therapist, alongside CBT, DBT, IFS, group and one-on-one work. Your therapist picks the right tool for what you’re carrying, and you learn to use those tools yourself, so they go home with you.

Are there other veterans here?

Yes. Veterans and first responders, including firefighters, police officers and paramedics, come here, along with men carrying trauma from childhood or from one bad day. You live in a house with men who understand what the job or the service leaves behind.

Can PTSD cause addiction?

Trauma and substance use often travel together. Many men drink or use to quiet nightmares, anger or a nervous system that won’t settle, and over time the using becomes its own problem. AnchorPoint holds that most addiction is rooted in trauma, which is why both are treated together here.

What therapy is used for PTSD and addiction?

Trauma-focused therapy is at the center: EMDR with a designated therapist, polyvagal-informed therapy, HeartMath, IFS and sociometrics, alongside CBT, DBT, group and one-on-one work. The gym, the trails and ground-based work with horses help settle the body.

Do I have to be a veteran or first responder to come here?

No. AnchorPoint treats men from all backgrounds carrying trauma, whether it started in childhood, at work or on one bad day. Veterans and first responders are among the men in the house, and the program is built for any man dealing with trauma, PTSD and drinking or drug use.

What if I’m in crisis now?

Call or text 988 (veterans press 1), or call 911 in an emergency. Do that first, before anything else. Once you’re safe, admissions is the next call, and the line is open 24 hours.

Can I keep my medication during trauma and addiction treatment?

Yes. Your medication is managed, with our medical director, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and 24/7 nursing. If you take something for sleep, mood or nerves, the medical team manages it with you, day by day. If you’re on Suboxone or methadone, it’s coordinated with your provider.

Can my wife be part of it?

Yes. Family therapy is part of the program, and family visits on Sundays. She can make the first call before you’re ready, and she can be part of your plan for after if you want her there. What she hears about your care is up to you, by your written OK.

Do I have to do 12-step?

Yes. 12-step meetings are part of the work for every man here: AA, NA or CA. They sit alongside trauma therapy, group and the outdoors, and they give you meetings to keep going to once you’re home.

Does insurance cover PTSD and addiction treatment?

Often, yes, depending on your plan. AnchorPoint works with private insurance, TRICARE and TriWest, and we check your benefits for free, including out-of-network. For Medicare or Medicaid (AHCCCS), admissions can help find a program that takes them.

Why trauma and addiction are treated together

A lot of men tell themselves they should be over it by now. Asking for help with it is a strong move. What happened is the reason under the using, and once you can see it, you can work on it.
