A trauma disorder is a major issue, and when the exposure to abuse and violence lasts, its impact on a person’s life is difficult to predict. Psychological struggles, behavioral problems, self-harm, and substance abuse are just a few consequences of untreated trauma. At Red Rock Behavioral Health, we offer a wide range of services and programs as part of residential complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment – call (949) 704-6793 or visit our contact page to gain insight into your mind and develop a new relationship with your feelings.

C-PTSD occurs in the aftermath of long-term and multiple traumatic events. If you were abused physically or emotionally as a child, grew up in a violent household, witnessed abuse on a regular basis, or dealt with even more challenging problems such as war or torture, it will inevitably take a toll on your psyche. You are more at risk if you have had little or no control over the situation you were in or there was more than one traumatic event you were not able to process properly under the supervision of therapists.
Even though the key purpose of treatment for complex PTSD is to teach the patient how to manage their emotional reactions in the long run, it is natural that an individual wants to commit to therapy with a specific timeline. The process of recovery never looks the same for two different people no matter how similar their problems seem on the surface. Still, intensive treatment for complex PTSD rarely exceeds two or three months – if the patient is able to prioritize their wellness and adhere to treatment, they can see a major improvement in their condition relatively quickly.
It is advised to speak to a mental health professional as soon as you escape the situation that traumatized you – when you are safe and sound, it is time to consider therapy. In case you were not able to sign up for complex PTSD treatment immediately, make sure you get guidance and support when the symptoms become severe and disrupt your daily life. Do not hesitate to arrange a mental health consultation if you have thoughts about harming yourself or others – there is a way to overcome your trauma.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) typically develops after a single traumatic event that does not last long – it may be a car accident or an assault. Complex PTSD or C-PTSD, on the other hand, is the consequence of prolonged trauma – for instance, a person may have been held in captivity or neglected as a child for years.

If you have other mental health issues, experience trauma during early developmental stages of life, and lack a strong support network, it is more likely that you will be more prone to trauma disorders of various severity.
The duration of recovery from complex PTSD is hard to estimate – it all depends on your symptoms, the time you have spent affected by a traumatic situation, and the presence of co-occurring mental health conditions. However, residential treatment usually does not last more than eight or twelve weeks – learn more about the types of treatment you can access on our Levels of Care page.
Whether you have been living in the shadow of your trauma for years or you recently experienced something disturbing and it affected your perception of yourself, emotional regulation, and bonds with others, there is always an opportunity to overcome C-PTSD and feel strong and confident once more.
