Our Trauma-Informed Therapies
At Restoration Recovery Center, we offer a range of evidence-based and holistic therapies, each tailored to address trauma and support recovery:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps clients accept difficult emotions and align their actions with personal values. By focusing on mindfulness and behavior change, ACT reduces reliance on substances and builds resilience. Clients learn to navigate cravings and stress without turning to drugs or alcohol, making it effective for addiction recovery.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (T-CBT)
T-CBT is a structured therapy that helps clients process trauma-related memories and triggers. By combining cognitive restructuring with exposure techniques, T-CBT reduces the emotional charge of traumatic experiences, helping clients manage anxiety and substance use triggers. This therapy is ideal for those with a history of trauma driving addiction.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT is highly effective for addiction, helping clients manage intense emotions and build healthier relationships. It’s particularly useful for those with co-occurring mental health disorders.
Trauma Narrative Therapy
Trauma Narrative Therapy allows clients to create and reframe a narrative of their traumatic experiences. By processing these events in a safe environment, clients reduce the emotional weight of trauma, decreasing its influence on addiction behaviors. This therapy fosters empowerment and self-understanding.
Mindfulness Practices
Mindfulness practices, such as meditation, deep breathing, and body scans, promote present-moment awareness and stress reduction. These techniques help clients manage cravings, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional regulation, complementing other therapies in our programs.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy explores unconscious patterns and past experiences that contribute to addiction. By uncovering these underlying issues, clients gain insight into their behaviors, fostering self-awareness and long-term recovery. This therapy is particularly effective for addressing deep-rooted trauma.
Brainspotting (Brain Mapping)
Brainspotting uses eye positioning to identify and process trauma stored in the brain. By focusing on specific “brainspots,” clients can release emotional pain and reduce addiction triggers. This innovative therapy is highly effective for trauma-related substance use disorders.
Adventure Therapy
Adventure Therapy involves structured outdoor activities, such as hiking or team-building exercises, to promote personal growth and emotional healing. Conducted in the Sierra Nevada foothills, these sessions enhance self-esteem, teamwork, and stress management, supporting recovery.
Nature Immersion
Nature Immersion involves therapeutic group sessions in the natural surroundings of the Sierra Nevada foothills, held at least twice weekly. These sessions foster a connection with nature, reduce stress, and promote mindfulness, complementing clinical therapies and enhancing overall well-being.

Types of Trauma Therapy in California
Types of trauma therapy include:
Cognitive processing trauma therapy in California:
CPT is a 12-week course of treatment, with weekly sessions of 60-90 minutes. At first, you’ll talk about the traumatic event with your therapist and how your thoughts related to it have affected your life. Then you’ll write in detail about what happened. This process helps you examine how you think about your trauma and figure out new ways to live with it.
For example, maybe you’ve been blaming yourself for something. Your therapist will help you take into account all the things that were beyond your control, so you can move forward, understanding and accepting that, deep down, it wasn’t your fault, despite things you did or didn’t do.
Prolonged Exposure trauma therapy in California:
Prolonged exposure is a specific type of cognitive behavioral trauma therapy in California that teaches individuals to gradually approach trauma-related memories, feelings and situations. By facing what has been avoided, a person presumably learns that the trauma-related memories and cues are not dangerous and do not need to be avoided.
Typically provided over a period of about three months with weekly individual sessions at the Addiction Recovery Center in Auburn California. Sixty- to 120-minute sessions are usually needed in order for the individual to engage in exposure and sufficiently process the experience.
EMDR trauma therapy in California:
EMDR trauma therapy in California has been endorsed by the American Psychiatric Association and the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. In addition, it is used by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and overseas organizations, including the United Kingdom Department of Health and the Israeli National Council for Mental Health.
According to the EMDR Research Foundation, there are now over 30 gold-standard studies documenting the effectiveness of EMDR therapy over the past 30 years with problems such as rape and sexual abuse, combat trauma, childhood trauma and neglect, life-threatening accidents, and symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.
Long-Term Effects of Trauma Therapy
Research has found that trauma-focused therapy with substance use disorder treatment was effective at reducing PTSD severity and substance use at 5 and 7 months following disorder treatment. However, more research needs to go into looking at how trauma therapy affects recovery long-term.
