Research consistently shows that approximately 75% of people entering addiction treatment have experienced trauma, and the connection runs deep. Cerritos has a significant veteran population, many carrying the invisible wounds of military service and combat exposure. Treating addiction without addressing trauma leaves the most powerful driver of substance use untouched. For veterans and their families in Cerritos seeking real recovery, trauma-informed care isn't optional—it's essential.
Compass Recovery's trauma-informed program in nearby Cypress integrates evidence-based trauma therapies including EMDR, DBT, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and Seeking Safety into every level of addiction treatment. Rather than addressing trauma as an afterthought, these approaches are woven throughout your entire recovery from day one. This means you're not just treating addiction; you're healing the underlying wounds that fuel it.
Established by the National Center for Trauma-Informed Care. At Compass, these are embedded in every interaction — not applied selectively.
Compass Recovery integrates multiple evidence-based trauma therapy models alongside EMDR, DBT, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. The right combination is determined by each client's history, presentation, and clinical needs.
Trauma research over the past three decades has produced a range of evidence-based treatment models specifically designed for the intersection of trauma and substance use. These models go beyond managing symptoms — they address the neurological, relational, and behavioral patterns that trauma creates and that substance use temporarily suppresses.
At Compass Recovery, trauma therapy is integrated with addiction treatment from day one — not deferred until sobriety is established or offered as an optional add-on. The clinical team determines which combination of models best fits each client's specific trauma history, gender, cultural background, and substance use pattern.
Alongside structured models, Compass Recovery's clinical team uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and DBT — all of which have strong evidence bases for trauma processing and are particularly effective for clients with PTSD alongside addiction.
Helps both men and women develop coping skills to overcome trauma and substance use simultaneously — focusing on behavioral and cognitive strategies to manage life challenges and prevent relapse.
Group-based treatment for women with histories of physical or sexual abuse. Builds positive coping skills and social support while addressing the consequences of violent victimization and substance use.
Treats trauma's impact on body, mind, and spirit simultaneously — using relational treatment and trauma-focused practices in both peer and individual settings.
A gender-responsive, trauma-informed model covering self, spirituality, relationships, and sexuality — four domains essential to growth and healing for women in recovery.
Uses ACEs findings to identify strengths, screen for trauma, and provide trauma-informed interventions — taking a holistic view of personal and family history to address mental health and substance use together.
Cerritos is home to a significant community of first responders and healthcare workers who face unique occupational trauma. These dedicated professionals often minimize their own pain while caring for others, making trauma-informed care essential. Compass Recovery understands the specific needs of first responders and frontline workers, offering evidence-based treatment that acknowledges how your work has shaped you without judgment. We're just minutes away in Cypress, ready to help you heal the way you deserve.
Treating addiction while deferring trauma work leaves the most powerful relapse driver untouched. At Compass, trauma-informed therapy begins on the same day as addiction treatment — not after sobriety is established.
Three of the most evidence-supported trauma therapies delivered by licensed clinicians — EMDR for trauma processing, DBT for emotional regulation, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy for rapid symptom reduction.
Trained clinicians actively manage re-traumatization risk throughout treatment — creating the consistent safety that allows clients to explore trauma history without being destabilized by the process itself.
TREM, HWC, and other gender-responsive models are available for clients whose trauma history intersects with gender-based violence, sexual abuse, or experiences requiring a culturally attuned clinical approach.
Our signature program builds a future-oriented identity — because healing from trauma is not only about resolving the past but about constructing a life that makes the present worth protecting.
