Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition that typically occurs after someone experiences a traumatic event. This condition is most common among members of military, but it can occur in other populations as well. PTSD can affect your quality of life dramatically. In fact, many people become addicted to drugs or alcohol while trying to cope with this condition. If you are dealing with this issue, you may benefit from spending time in PTSD rehab.

What is PTSD Rehab?

A PTSD rehab is a rehab program designed to help people with PTSD learn to deal with the effects of their condition. If the patient has been abusing drugs, for example, this program will help him or her to overcome the addiction and learn better coping mechanisms.
