New tools and troubles in addiction treatment
Description
EMDR and Recovery • EMDR helps patients reframe their attachment to drug use and drug lifestyle into “addiction trauma.” • EMDR decreases traumatic memories that destabilize the path to recovery. • EMDR provides hope of trauma resolution for patients who have suffered past physical, sexual and emotional trauma in addition to addiction trauma. • EMDR may decrease euphoric recall. • EMDR may reprogram the procedural learning produced by past use behaviors, and thus, decrease relapse.
