If you’ve experienced trauma and now struggle with your memory, you are not alone. Yes, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) can directly affect your memory, causing a range of issues from memory loss and “brain fog” to having intensely vivid, intrusive memories of the traumatic event.

This happens because intense trauma can alter brain function, particularly in areas responsible for memory processing and emotional regulation, like the hippocampus and amygdala. Understanding this connection is a key part of healing from trauma.

PTSD often disrupts how memories are formed, stored, and recalled Learn why this happens and how treatment helps.

What an awesome day at the Driving for Change networking event in Charlotte! 🏌️‍♀️

Hosted monthly by our friends at Insight Recovery and Ascend Recovery, this event is held at the Leatherman Learning Center every 4th Thursday — and it’s always a great time.

Our staff had an absolute blast, connected with amazing people in the SUD and Mental Health fields, and even helped place a few individuals into treatment that same day. Very fun and very productive — what could be better? 💙

Huge thank you to Richard Cooley and Mo Rohde for putting together such a meaningful and enjoyable event every month. It’s so inspiring to see our recovery community coming together with purpose and passion!

Starting therapy is a powerful step, but it’s common to feel unsure about what to say or where to begin.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) frequently co-occur, with studies showing that up to half of those with BPD also meet criteria for PTSD, and vice versa. Both conditions share symptoms such as impulsivity, relationship difficulties, and emotional dysregulation, often rooted in trauma, which can complicate diagnosis when they present together.

Can you have BPD and PTSD at the same time? With American Detox and Treatment, we can help. Call now.

For many who take a break from alcohol, whether for or as part of a recovery journey, the insights can be powerful and unexpected:

- Mental clarity improves
- Sleep becomes more restful
- Energy levels rise
- Spending decreases noticeably
- Social pressure around drinking becomes more visible
- Healthier ways of coping with stress emerge
- And perhaps most importantly… deeper self-awareness begins

Sobriety isn’t just about removing alcohol — it’s about rediscovering what life feels like without it.

At American Detox and Treatment, therapy sessions are a key part of the residential inpatient program and vary based on individual needs.

How long are therapy sessions? We offer flexible group and individual therapy sessions, the lengths of which vary from one to two hours. Call to learn more.
