Abstract
Frequently overlooked during the patient's treatment, psychological trauma can constitute a significant part of the addiction problem. Clinical data reveal a high incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder for which addictive behaviours may be a way of repressing the anxiety caused by the trauma. Systematic screening for trauma would help to ensure an appropriate treatment plan is put in place.
