Many individuals attempting to secure bail have alcohol/drug problems, with very little understanding of why these problems have developed; whether this be due to underlying complex trauma from childhood abuse, underlying neurodevelopmental problems such as undiagnosed ADHD, which is highly correlated with psychostimulant drug use, or underlying mental health issues which has never been appropriately addressed or in some instances diagnosed.
This program is frequently delivered following the substance abuse program, because these two problems are typically comorbid with each other. The difficulty is that the timing of this program needs to be carefully considered. If trauma is discussed too early in recovery from active addiction, it invariably results in a relapse. This is a highly structured program which examines the dynamics of trauma but also how this has affected the attachment process….
This is also a structured program and again this is often linked to the first two programs, because anger is frequently comorbid with trauma and alsobecause it often occurs in combination with certain substances such as Crystal Methylamphetamine. The program anticipates that some individuals will present with a combination of all three problems, in addition to underlying psychiatric issues such as substance induced psychosis.
