Abstract

Problematic alcohol and drug (AOD) use persists as a major health issue in Australia, affecting both individuals and communities. It is closely tied to trauma and disproportionately affects certain demographics. By examining AOD use and trauma holistically within the systemic environment we can implement strategies that bring about meaningful change. Thus, this paper examines and, subsequently, re-establishes a clearer picture between AOD use, trauma, and what trauma-informed care (TIC) may look like as a holistic harm reduction approach. We present a narrative review of the literature, as well as recent findings drawn from a project investigating the Lived-Living Experience (LLE) of people who use drugs (PWUDs).
