In the past, there was some thinking that
you must treat substance abuse before you can treat PTSD.
Currently though, we have found and we continue to find
that both posttraumatic stress disorder
and substance use can be treated concurrently,
and it's only when there is severe levels of consistent
intoxication, meaning you get drunk all the time, you get high
all the time every day, that's when we
really have to focus on the substance abuse first.
Otherwise, it's best to get treatment and get treatment
as soon as possible for both.
