Trauma, Shame and Addiction –
How did we get here…and how do we change?
As the opioid epidemic continues to unfold on the American landscape, our society is experiencing the loss of the flower of a generation. Studies reveals that alcohol use remains an even larger and growing public health problem than opioids. Marijuana use has become so casual as to usher itself into mainstream America, an innocuous choice for some perhaps, but for many others including the youngest amongst us its effects are devastating. Addiction is now a public health concern of epic proportions.

What about the undercurrents to addiction - the things that frequently start addiction, that fuel addiction? What about the undertreated public health menace that directly impacts and precedes addiction, and negatively affects the health and longevity of individuals and families? This silent menace is trauma, especially trauma from childhood. Learn to recognize that untreated trauma leads to the failure of so many individuals who find themselves chronically relapsing into the spiral of opioid addiction, alcoholism, gambling, and sex addiction.

Presenter
Donald Sansom, DO received his Bachelor of Science from Northern Arizona University in 1987, and his Doctor of Osteopathy degree from A.T. Still University in 1991. He completed an internship in internal medicine at the Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati and, subsequently, completed his residency in anesthesiology at the University of Cincinnati in 1995, spending his last year serving as elected Chief Resident. From 1995 through 2012, he practiced in a diverse and robust private practice setting with an emphasis in obstetrical and pediatric anesthesia at Tucson Medical Center. In addition to his busy clinical practice, Dr. Sansom served in a variety of administrative and clinical leadership positions at Tucson Medical Center, including serving as Anesthesia Department Chairman, and as a member of the medical executive committee. During that time, he volunteered for five years co-leading medical mission trips to Honduras to serve the medically indigent.

Upon retiring from anesthesia in 2012, Dr. Sansom became the medical director in a corrections facility and launched what would become the next chapter in his career as he began working with individuals with various forms of substance abuse and co-morbidities. In 2015, Dr. Sansom left the medical director position to pursue an opportunity to start a drug and alcohol treatment center in both a clinical and administrative role, further cementing his commitment to treating patients with addiction.

Dr. Sansom has a passion for working with individuals with all forms of substance use disorder and shepherding them along a path of lifelong sobriety and health. To that end, he is firmly committed to Sierra Tucson’s holistic multidisciplinary approach. He has interests in neuroscience as it relates to addiction, mindfulness, neuroplasticity, and spirituality. Dr. Sansom is intrigued by how science and spirituality intersect in medicine and in people’s lives and strongly believes in educating patients about addiction as a disease and about recovery.

Dr. Sansom is a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology, a member of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), the American Osteopathic Academy of Addiction Medicine (AOAAM), and he holds certificates in AOAAM Essentials of Addiction Medicine and has completed the AOAAM advanced Addiction Medicine Course.
