PostTraumatic Growth Program
at Avatar’s Residential Detox Center

Trauma leaves marks that go far deeper than words — but with the right support, healing is not only possible, it can become a turning point for profound personal growth. Avatar's Post-Traumatic Growth therapy program is a specialized trauma recovery program within our ASAM 3.5 PTSD residential treatment setting, designed for individuals whose trauma-related disorders are intertwined with substance use. Led by experienced trauma-informed therapists, our trauma healing program integrates EMDR therapy for PTSD, CBT for PTSD (Trauma-Focused CBT), somatic practices, PTSD support groups, and individualized trauma counseling — all delivered within The Sanctuary, a dedicated space created exclusively for post-trauma support and healing.

What Is Post-Traumatic Growth and How Does It Support Addiction Recovery?

Clients enrolled in the PTG Program receive a minimum of five (5) hours per week of dedicated trauma specific group therapy, facilitated by experienced, trauma trained clinicians. Treatment integrates evidence based and body centered modalities, including:

  • Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT)
  • Somatic and body based therapeutic practices
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when clinically indicated

This integrative approach allows clients to process trauma safely while building emotional regulation, insight, and coping skills.

Psychiatric Evaluation and Ongoing Monitoring

Each PTG client receives a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation by a psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) or Medical Doctor (MD). Ongoing psychiatric monitoring is provided throughout treatment to support stabilization, symptom management, and coordination of care as part of an integrated clinical team.

Healing the Mind and Body

Because trauma affects both the nervous system and emotional wellbeing, the PTG Program includes holistic and experiential therapies that promote grounding, safety, and reconnection with the body. Clients may participate in:

  • Trauma-Informed Yoga
  • Sound Baths
  • Mindfulness-Based and Somatic Practices

These supports enhance emotional regulation and reinforce recovery skills.

    ARDC has intentionally created The Sanctuary — a dedicated, safe, and inviting space exclusively for PTG clients.
