Addiction and trauma

Neglect, mistreatment or abuse in childhood and adolescence often pave the way for addiction to develop later on. Reduced self-esteem, anxiety, depression, unbearable inner tension and distressing memories are made bearable with the help of substances. This type of self-medication quickly leads to addiction with serious negative consequences. When patients recognize these connections, it is often liberating for them.

 Gontenschwil Inpatient Therapy offers various trauma-specific procedures that build on these findings and treat addiction and trauma at the same time. In addition to Lisa Najavits' Finding Safety programme and stabilizing imagination techniques, various exposure methods such as EMDR, Narrative Exposure Therapy or Somatic Experience are also used.
Depending on the severity, comorbidity and complexity of the illness, we offer classic long-term therapy, the treatment of which can last between 8 and 24 weeks. Short-term therapy comprises a treatment period of 8 weeks. If necessary, therapy can be continued at the Lenzburg outpatient clinic or the Lenzburg day clinic.
