Alcohol and drugs are not the problems; they are what people are using to help themselves cope with the problems.

As soon as any non essential drugs are out of their systems, the feelings they were trying to suppress usually emerge. When that happens, we can see what symptoms the client was masking with drugs or alcohol.
