Trauma and Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles, California
Trauma-informed, integrated treatment for substance use disorder rooted in adverse experiences at Keystone Health Group.
Trauma is one of the most significant risk factors for substance use disorder. Research consistently shows that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) — including abuse, neglect, household dysfunction, and witnessing violence — dramatically increase the risk of addiction in adulthood. At Keystone Health Group, all treatment is delivered through a trauma-informed lens, and trauma is assessed and addressed as a core component of every treatment plan.
The ACE Study and Addiction
The landmark Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study found a powerful dose-response relationship between childhood trauma and adult substance use disorder: the more ACEs a person experienced, the higher their risk of addiction. People with 4 or more ACEs are 7 times more likely to develop alcoholism and 10 times more likely to inject drugs than those with no ACEs.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is not a specific therapy — it is a framework for delivering all care in a way that recognizes the prevalence of trauma, understands its impact, and avoids re-traumatization. At Keystone Health Group, all staff are trained in trauma-informed principles, and the treatment environment is designed to promote safety, trust, and empowerment.
Evidence-Based Trauma Therapies
Our therapists use evidence-based trauma therapies including EMDR, prolonged exposure (PE), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and Seeking Safety — a treatment specifically designed for co-occurring PTSD and substance use disorder.
