PTSD Treatment Program

picture of a serene and inviting meeting room in a behavioral health center as part of a PTSD treatment programPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that most often occurs after an individual has experienced an extremely traumatic event. The trauma overwhelms the normal coping and processing mechanisms of the person, which leads to the development of PTSD. Most often, PTSD manifests as intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and nightmares, which can make it difficult to live a healthy life. Trauma related to substance use or addiction can be one of many causes of PTSD, and substance use can worsen the symptoms of PTSD and vice versa. A substance abuse treatment program that addresses the co-occurring mental health issues and addiction aspects of this condition can help you find healing.

Our specialized PTSD treatment program provides an individualized and effective plan of care that includes evidence-based therapies and holistic approaches to PTSD treatment services that can help you build healthy coping skills and manage the symptoms of both PTSD and substance use disorder (SUD). Our addiction treatment services in Killeen can help you begin your journey toward healing and recovery. Call 866-843-0545 today to get started.

An Overview of PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that can develop as a result of a traumatic event or experience. Traumatic events can include physical or sexual assault, war and combat-related experiences, natural disasters, medical procedures, and even witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD is a way that the brain and body cope with intense stress when the normal cognitive processes for processing trauma are overwhelmed. When this occurs, the traumatic experience is not cognitively or emotionally processed, and people may experience intrusive thoughts and flashbacks that make it difficult to live their lives. Symptoms of PTSD can include:

  • Flashbacks
  • Irritability or outbursts of anger
  • Intense feelings of guilt, fear, or anxiety
  • Disrupted sleep patterns
  • Difficulty concentrating and focusing
  • Avoidance of certain activities, places, or people associated with the trauma

Left untreated, PTSD can have an adverse impact on your quality of life. It can be intertwined with addiction in complicated ways, making it even more important to seek professional PTSD treatment services.

How Our PTSD Treatment Program Can Help

We create post-traumatic stress disorder treatment plans crafted to the individual needs of our clients. Typically, treatment plans include both group and individual therapy sessions. Group sessions provide the support of a caring group of peers who understand the unique challenges of PTSD. Individual sessions offer an opportunity to work on personal issues with a therapist one-on-one.

Family therapy can also be an integral component of the PTSD treatment process. We understand that traumatic events can have lasting effects on loved ones, and our goal is to create an environment of healing for everyone involved.

Our trauma-informed care is based on the understanding that PTSD results from an abnormally traumatic event. We use evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you develop healthy coping skills and manage the symptoms of PTSD.

A PTSD treatment program can take time, but it is possible to find healing. Our team is here to provide the support and guidance you need to reach your goals on the recovery journey.
