Trauma-Informed Care

Trauma-informed care begins with the recognition that most people seeking addiction treatment have experienced significant trauma. It means that the clinical team approaches every interaction with that understanding. It means that treatment does not inadvertently re-traumatize clients through confrontational approaches or environments that feel unsafe.

At Top of the World Ranch, trauma-informed care means that trauma therapy, specifically EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, is built into every client’s program from day one. It means that the environment, private rooms, private bathrooms, open land, and peer-credentialed staff, is designed to produce safety and trust. It means that the clinical model assumes trauma is present and treats it directly.
