Post-traumatic stress disorder, more commonly known as PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that occurs after a traumatic event or situation. In many cases, PTSD sufferers use drugs or alcohol to manage their symptoms. When self-medicating becomes an addiction, it’s referred to as dual diagnosis.
PTSD triggers an addiction, and addiction can make PTSD worse. Breaking the cycle of trauma and substance use is nearly impossible without help. At Willow Ridge Recovery, we provide PTSD and addiction treatment in NJ in various settings, including inpatient and outpatient, as well as partial hospitalization (PHP) for those with dual diagnoses. Learn more about our dual diagnosis treatment options and allow us to help you recover from trauma and addiction.

How PTSD and Addiction are Connected
The connection between PTSD and addiction is profound. Substance use often becomes a coping mechanism for individuals struggling with the overwhelming symptoms of PTSD, such as flashbacks, nightmares, and unmanageable anxiety. However, drug or alcohol dependency worsens trauma’s mental and emotional toll, creating a vicious cycle that can spiral out of control.
PTSD and Addiction Stats
* Up to 33% of people diagnosed with PTSD also have substance use disorder.
* 50% of people seeking treatment for SUD meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, much higher than the percentage of people in the general population..
* Veterans and other people with combat exposure have high rates of co-occurring PTSD and SUD; studies find that 35–75% of veterans in SUD treatment also have PTSD.
* Women with PTSD are 27% more likely to develop a co-occurring addiction; men with PTSD are 51% more likely to have substance use disorders.

Understanding PTSD and Addiction
Signs You May Need PTSD and Addiction Treatment in NJ
Dual diagnosis symptoms often overlap, and people living with PTSD may not immediately recognize the connection between their trauma and substance use. Here are some warning signs:
- Reliving traumatic events through nightmares or flashbacks.
- Constant feelings of fear, sadness, or detachment.
- Avoiding activities, places, or people that remind you of the trauma.
- Trouble sleeping or concentrating.
- Outbursts of anger or irritation.
- Using alcohol or drugs as a way to “escape” emotional or physical pain.
- Increased frequency or quantity of substance use.
- Difficulty quitting, despite negative consequences in your life.
- Neglecting responsibilities due to substance dependence.
These symptoms may point to a deeper struggle that requires professional help. At Willow Ridge Recovery, our PTSD and addiction treatment in NJ provides both the trauma care and addiction recovery support needed to achieve healing.
Our Treatment Program
Comprehensive PTSD and Addiction Treatment in NJ
Dual Diagnosis Care at Every Level
We offer a continuum of care to ensure everyone can find the right fit for their individual needs. Whether you require the structure and supervision of an inpatient program or the flexibility of an outpatient setting, our integrated approach to PTSD and addiction treatment in NJ provides support for the unique challenges presented by both issues.
Our inpatient program provides 24/7 care and support in a safe, structured environment. If you struggle with trauma and addiction issues that need constant monitoring and intensive treatment, this program can help. Trauma stabilization, medical detox, individual therapy, group counseling, and holistic care are all available.
PHP is a great middle ground for those who need a little more structure but more flexibility in their treatment. Spend the day in our PHP and return home in the evenings for a supportive, sober setting. Individual care plans provide the best mix of treatment programming, including trauma-focused therapy, relapse prevention strategies, and mindfulness.
Our outpatient program is great for those who have completed inpatient treatment or don’t require constant supervision. This level of care is the lowest-intensity program and still provides services like individual therapy, support groups, and aftercare planning to continue recovery from trauma and addiction.

Frequently Asked Questions About PTSD and Addiction Treatment in NJ
Why is a dual diagnosis treatment approach necessary?
PTSD and addiction each worsen the other, so attempting to treat only one condition won’t lead to long-term recovery. Scientific literature suggests that concurrent, integrated care is the only effective way to manage a dual diagnosis.
Is inpatient and PHP treatment for PTSD and addiction covered by insurance?
Insurance generally covers inpatient, PHP, and outpatient programs for PTSD and addiction. Our admissions team will coordinate with your provider to ensure you receive maximum allowable benefits.
How long does PTSD and addiction treatment in NJ last?
Length of stay depends on a variety of factors, including the individual and the program type.
Inpatient programs: The most common range is 30–90 days.
Partial hospitalization program (PHP): 4–6 weeks.
Outpatient programs: Duration depends on progress and requires long-term, sustained participation.
We work with each client to create a program timeline that is most effective for his or her recovery.
How is PHP different from inpatient care?
PHP incorporates many of the same therapeutic modalities as an inpatient program. The difference is that clients go home—or to a safe, sober living environment—during non-program hours. It is an excellent step down for those working toward greater independence who still need a structured level of care.
