Over 75% of people in substance use treatment report a history of childhood trauma—and those with four or more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are up to 10 times more likely to struggle with addiction. In this powerful and eye-opening video, we explore the deep, often misunderstood connection between early trauma and substance misuse. This isn’t about bad choices or moral failings—it’s about survival, brain development, and the unhealed pain that fuels addiction. Whether you’re in recovery, work in mental health, or just want to understand the human story behind the statistics, this is essential viewing. Join us as we unpack the neuroscience, psychology, and social systems behind one of the most critical public health issues of our time.
