Sexual abuse is a horrific event that can leave behind devastating recollections that can last for decades, if not a lifetime, regardless of how it manifests.
Post-traumatic stress Disorder (PTSD) may develop if those painful memories are not dealt with and drastically affects their mental health. And that's the time when victims of abuse are most likely to use alcohol or drugs as a coping mechanism.
After enduring sexual assault, women are more likely to develop PTSD than men: about half of female survivors of sexual abuse will experience PTSD.
PTSD can foster the circumstances necessary for addiction to develop. It can be excruciating to live in a condition of chronic, high tension like this.
Understandably, those afflicted with PTSD are simply probing for an elusion or a way to numb the pain.
While awareness of PTSD has ameliorated in recent years, few realize the devastation it can have on someone’s life. Three out of every four women starting addiction treatment report having experienced some remotely sexual abuse.
Moreover, victims of sexual abuse are far more liable to become alcoholics and considerably more prone to develop other drug use disorders. Even though most people understand the quandaries their addictions are causing, it’s a matter of emotional math: the pain caused by extravagant substance use is often less than the pain caused by PTSD.
While that math may appear to integrate up early on, the quandaries only compound until they become life-threatening. At that point, seeking treatment is critical. Nevertheless, it may seem impossible to overcome that addiction if the underlying PTSD symptoms aren't addressed.
The correct addiction treatments can avail treat both the person AND the illness. It’s about understanding and managing the underlying symptoms of PTSD and building a plan that can work in the authentic world. Substance use may hold the lure of short-term mitigation from PTSD, but it comes with a much higher price that’s paid later down the road.
Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes. Despite experiencing a very traumatic incident, not everyone relishes to identify as a trauma survivor. That’s why our programs are tailored to the individual and address PTSD and addiction together. After all, most patients aren’t just looking to quit a habit. They’re looking to amend their life. And that takes a holistic approach.
The relationship between addiction and sexual assault is complex and oftentimes bidirectional. Food, gambling, sex, and exercise addictions are just a few of the addictions that can arise from sexual trauma. Offenders frequently utilize drugs or alcohol to render their victims unconscious so that a sexual attack can occur. One study found that rape victims are three times more likely than non-victims to consume marijuana, and that this likelihood increases three times over time. They are also more likely to use prescription drugs for non-medical purposes 6.4 times more likely to use cocaine 10 times more likely to use hard drugs other than cocaine.
Alcohol or narcotics may be used by victims of sexual assault, including those who were sexually abused as children, as a way to numb or escape from emotional trauma or PTSD symptoms. The chance of a relapse rises when individuals try to stop taking the medication because their symptoms return.
Research suggests that treating drug addiction and PTSD in individuals at the same time is beneficial for those who work with these diseases. Anybody can experience sexual violence, regardless of their age, race, financial status, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or level of education.
However, using drugs and alcohol is one of the risk factors or vulnerabilities that leads to sexual violence victimization and perpetration. Addiction to drugs and alcohol, as well as sexual violence, transcend all social boundaries.
Sexual assaulters frequently target people who are more impotent than them in society, including addicts, women, people with disabilities, the elderly, kids, teenagers, people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, immigrants, migrants, and refugees, people who verbalize English as a second language, the impoverished, people with malefactor records, the homeless, sex workers, as well as others.
Assailants categorically target people who are unlikely to report the incident or who, if they do, are unlikely to be taken earnestly or believed.
It is possible that the offender utilized drugs to make the sexual assault more facile to carry out. Substance abuse or use may have been present afore to an assault, or it may have commenced as a coping mechanism after an assault.
Both substance misuse and sexual victimization are highly stigmatized in society, and it can be concretely challenging for victims and survivors to surmount this stigma when they have experienced both. This stigma can exacerbate the difficulties associated with the rejuvenating process and heighten emotions of culpability, solitude, depression and incriminating mental health issues.
Samarpan employs Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a commonly employed method to avail victims of sexual assault who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) cognate to their experiences. It is especially subsidiary if you've seen myriad transmutations in your thoughts since the incident and you're feeling ashamed and guilty. "This is all my fault," "Why did not do anything to stop it", "I cannot trust anyone", "the world is scary," and "I will never feel any different this is it" are a few typical thoughts.
All Samarpan clinical staff have undertaken Trauma-Informed approaches to counselling, and offer a range of interventions that are seen as best practice in trauma work.
By addressing the root causes, providing integrated support, and promoting prevention strategies, society can work towards breaking the cycle and fostering an environment that prioritizes the well-being and safety of all individuals.
