The Course and Outcome of Integreated Trauma and Addiction Treatment Between PTSD and CPTSD

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: PTSD, Addiction

In brief

In the ICD-11 post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD) are distinguished. CPTSD is associated with early childhood traumatization and more severe symptom patterns. Research thus far confirms that PTSD and CPTSD are two related but different concepts, but it's still unclear what the clinical relevance of this differentiation is. In addiction care approximately one out of three patients suffer from (C)PTSD. It's unclear if in patients with a substance use disorder (SUD) comorbid CPTSD results in poorer treatment outcomes compared to comorbid PTSD.
