The Sobriety Centers of New Hampshire recognizes that the connection between substance misuse and trauma is undeniable and is proud to be the first residential substance misuse program in New Hampshire to incorporate a trauma-informed approach. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) defines this as “A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed:
Throughout the organization and among the clients served, individuals’ strengths are recognized, built on, and validated and new skills developed as necessary. Antrim House aims to strengthen the staff’s, clients’, and family members’ experience of choice and recognize that every person’s experience is unique and requires an individualized approach. This includes a belief in resilience and in the ability of individuals, organizations and communities to heal and promote recovery from trauma. This builds on what clients, staff and communities have to offer rather than responding to perceived deficits.
