Developmental Trauma &
Co-Occuring Substance Dependence
Developmental Trauma is early life emotional and/or physical abuse, neglect and/or household dysfunction that results in physical and mental health conditions producing a shortened lifespan and inability to affect positive life outcomes. Often that internal pain creates the existential crisis of addiction, alcoholism, and unskillful behaviors. Long-term use can lead to physical dependence and rebound anxiety, as well as increased risk of developing cognitive impairment,
depression, seizures, and suicidal thoughts.

Treating Developmental
Trauma and Co-occuring
Substance Dependence
The Grata difference rests in the customized treatment directly from today’s world-renowned clinical visionaries.
This difference puts Grata House head and shoulders above other luxury treatment facilities.
Grata clinicians and psychotherapists are responsible for creating the latest wave of evidence-based addiction and trauma-informed interventions. These industry-defining clinicians not only guide and direct Grata’s treatment but are shaping how addiction, anxiety and depression is and will be treated in the future.
Grata’s sweeping new wave of trauma and phenomenological therapies focus on treating from a much more heartfelt and deeply connected place that creates safety, insight, acceptance, vulnerability, and personal agency that results in immediate impact and resilience– putting the focus on secure behaviors, and creating lasting positive outcomes—instead of merely clinging to sobriety.
NARM™: Is a method of psychotherapy aimed explicitly at treating attachment and co-occurring addiction, relational and developmental trauma, otherwise referred to as “Complex Trauma” (Complex-PTSD).
NARM™ Focuses on creating distress tolerance and re-connection to self that creates deep meaning, love and vitality. If these core principles are missing, research has shown this lack often leads to unskillful living that includes substance dependence and other unskillful coping behaviors.
