The best intervention for substance abuse and chronic pain I have seen is biofeedback. It takes only 10 sessions to have maximum effect and often has dramatic effects, including smoking cessation which is one of the hardest addictions to break.

PTSD is part of the symptom picture for people with chronic pain, substance use disorders, mood disorders and ACEs. EMDR therapy is extremely effective in eliminating PTSD symptoms, and is also helpful with these collateral issues. See articles in the Journal of EMDR Research and Practice.

I am an EMDR trained clinician and specialize in the treatment of PTSD, trauma and dissociation and work with many high ACE survivors. It's very useful for  these clients to incorporate a wholistic approach that includes somatic work, Yoga, mindfulness and other forms of meditation

I have specialized in Chronic Pain Management for 40 years.  I am a dentist (DMD) and a clinical social worker (LCSW).  I treat the EMOTIONAL COMPONENT of CHRONIC PAIN.  I treat patients in Alcohol & Drug Rehabs so I'm quite family with the co-morbidities of chronic pain, addiction, depression, anxiety, & dissociative disorders. I have lectured on the topic and address the problem of treating our patients without benzo's and narcotics and rely on lots of other protocols (some holistic some not).  Here is a list from one of my slides listing a variety of treatments.  Of course, if we spoke, I could elaborate on each...  especially Energy Psychology.  If anyone is interested, you may call me anytime to discuss this topic.
