Sunshine Coast Announces Update to Trauma Therapy and Trauma Treatment Program in British Columbia, Near Vancouver and Victoria
VANCOUVER, B.C. (PRWEB) February 28, 2018 -- Sunshine Coast Health Centre (SCHC), considered one of the best private PTSD and trauma treatment programs in British Columbia, Canada, is pleased to announce an important change to their trauma treatment requirements. Clients are no longer required to have a "co-occurring" addiction, such as addiction to drugs and/or alcohol to be eligible for treatment.
"We have learned that many clients have trauma issues but do not, necessarily, have co-occurring dependencies to drugs, alcohol or other substances," explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. "Accordingly, we are allowing patients who have suffered trauma but who do not have an addiction to seek treatment at the Centre as well."

While located physically in Powell River, British Columbia, Sunshine Coast Health Centre has support locations in both Vancouver and Victoria, making it easy for potential clients to have an initial consultation. Clients come from across Canada, including the big cities in Alberta of Edmonton and Calgary, as Sunshine Coast Health Centre acquires a reputation as one of the best trauma treatment programs in British Columbia and all of Canada.
TRAUMA, PTSD, AND FIRST RESPONDERS
Here is background on this release. Whereas previously, society was more ignorant about how trauma can impact the brain and psychology, now, more and more people - both lay people and professionals - are becoming aware of the negative aspects of trauma and its prevalence. PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) is perhaps the most commonly known manifestation of trauma issues, but many first responders such as police officers, firefighters, and hospital care personnel and others involved in helping people can become victims of trauma, themselves. Recently, more and more people have begun to search for trauma therapy and trauma treatment not only at the province level (e.g. British Columbia or Alberta) but also at the city level (e.g., Victoria or Vancouver). By opening up its own exclusive trauma treatment program, Sunshine Coast is addressing this growing need for better trauma therapies in Canada.
It should be noted that the methodology used in addiction treatment is based on Viktor Frankl's "philosophy of meaning" and is different from the more common "Twelve Step" methodology. To learn more about the Centre's treatment philosophy (not only for trauma but also for drug and alcohol dependency), visit https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/about-us/.
