Alcoholism and PTSD Can Be Treated at the Same Time, Study Says
Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 12, 2013 -- As reported by the news agency Reuters (8/6) in their article, Docs can safely treat alcoholism, PTSD together: study, a new study found that doctors can safely treat alcoholism and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at the same time. "What we found is that those people that got (medication) plus prolonged exposure therapy for alcohol dependence together with the treatment for PTSD did the best for maintaining their low level of drinking," said Edna Foa, the study's lead author.
Alcohol abuse can cause serious health issues up to and including death for drinkers. It is best treated by a professional, certified 24/7 medically supervised detox center such as Harbor Village. Located in sunny South Florida, Harbor Village, an alcoholism treatment center, has a trained staff including physicians and nurses who provide private alcohol rehab for clients. In an upscale, state-of-the art environment, clients are greeted by luxury accommodations including a beautifully furnished suite with satellite television, over an acre of scenic outdoor lounge area, spa, salon, massage and acupuncture services, nutritious, gourmet dining and the individualized care by the attentive staff.
According to Docs can safely treat alcoholism, PTSD together: study, people develop PTSD after experiencing a frightful or painful event and even after the danger is gone, still feel the stress. Many of those people also develop some level of alcohol dependence.
Yuval Neria, a professor at Columbia University and director of the Trauma and PTSD program at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, said, "This may encourage physicians - specifically those in the (Veterans Affairs) setting - to prescribe patients to both drug and evidence-based therapy."
